BACK OFF!


It’s that time of year.  As the days start to get warmer, the clothes start to get lighter and you begin to think about replenishing your spring wardrobe.  I know I’ve already started getting the shopping itch!

So with that in mind, I’ve been on the lookout for some items to buy, when I noticed the backs of shirts being cut out.  I'm loving this look; move over halter-tops!  Whether in a geometric pattern, frayed material, or just plain cut out, there’s something for everyone.  Let’s keep it classy though.  Wear at least a bandeau and there’s nothing wrong with a tank top layered underneath for more coverage.  Layering is also a great way to wear your purchases sooner rather than later, especially when it might be too cold to go backless.

Days of Denim


Spring has (almost) sprung and so have our options for denim.  I am OBSESSED with the jeans that are out for the season.  Nothing boring here!  Great way to add some fun to your outfit.  The key to pulling it off is go simple and neutral with the rest of your outfit. 

If you are more adventurous, try color blocking your outfit.  If you are on the shorter side, throw on some boots with a heel and if skinny jeans don’t necessarily flatter you, wear a longer top or switch over to the wide-legged jeans that are definitely on their way back in.

Also, I noticed cropped denim sneaking its way back into the mix, but I’d stay away.  I am all about when people roll their skinny jeans, but the cropped denim sends my brain straight to the days of Capri’s and I’m just not ready to go backso they are a DON’T!

FORECASTING: I want to see more graphic print denim, such possibilities with this!
