It's 85 Degrees in Boston! Spring Tends Galore!

Woohoo! Looks like I got my wish. Spring/Summer has sprung!

Today, I had to work so my outfit wasn't exactly up to par. That said, I did get a lil' summery. I worse some black pants, black strappy wedges, a black and white graphic-y babydoll top, and a chunky black necklace. Not too bad for my first spring/summer outfit of the year.

Mainly, I wanted to post about some Spring fashion trends in honor of this d-lish day.

So, here we go. My top 5 trends of the season.

Trend #1:


Forever 21, $22.80

Floral prints. It sounds obvious for springtime, but this year you've got to run out and get yourself a little tunic or dress with a bold floral print. Find a piece with bright colors, rather than muted pastel hues.

Trend #2:

Target, $22.99


Polka dots! This is my fave. For a classic look, go for black with white polka dots--But brave gals should try brighter unpredictable colors.

Trend #3:


Banana Republic, $148.00


Black & white. High contrast duds are hot this season. I love the look of a monochrome white outfit with a splash of black. Or the other way around if you're prone to messy disasters.

Trend #4:


Express, $29.50
Metallic accessories in bright colors. Silver and gold are out. For now. Pair a metallic bag in a tantalizing shade of pink or green with black capris and ballet flats for an unexpected pop of color.


Trend #5:


Girlprops, $2.99 each

Fun bangles. Skimp on the huge earrings and layered necklaces this season and grab some bright bracelets.
So there you have it. Lots of bright colors this season. Please don't be a trend whore though, and wear all of the trends at the same time...Pick one and go with it!
