Spring Trends: Mix, Don’t Match

While color blocking may have been all the rage to make a bold statement a couple of years ago, mixing prints is definitely the new daring. Before you dive into this fashion-forward trend, just heed a few pieces of advice to make sure you pull off a hot look and not a hot mess.

When you have a printed top and bottom, bring in some neutral accessories to avoid overdoing it. The woven bag in this outfit gives the clothing center stage but has it’s own subtle detail that makes the complete look very chic.

Leaf Print Tunic (Topshop $90) | Striped Midi Skirt (Topshop $60) | Alexander Wang Sandals (Saks Fifth Avenue $525) | Bottega Veneta Bag (Saks Fifth Avenue $3,750)

Stripes in any color are perhaps the easiest print with which to pair. Plus, they can be dressed up or down. This outfit is breezy and chic with printed joggers, chunky wedges and an oversized tote.

Billabong Turn Away Pant (Backcountry $44.95) | Hurley Tank Top (Backcountry $29.95) | Steve Madden Wedges (Onlineshoes.com $79.95) | Oversize Tote (Karen Millen $499)

When you’ve got a large area of print going on and you want to play it down for daytime, a sleek black or neutral blazer is your go-to. Plus, printed shoes are always an easy way to experiment with prints.

Nieve Dress (Reiss $320) | American Vintage Blazer (The Hut $199.95) | Bella Vita Leona Heels (ShoeBuy $99.95) | Soho Bracelet Set (Macy’s $58)

Spring Trends: All White

Spring is the season for new beginnings. The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping and fashionistas everywhere are shedding their winter coats to show off new trends. We decided to split up our Spring Trends blog post into four parts, highlighting on four popular spring trends we are loving.

Today we are focusing on what is a seemingly simple trend, but is bold in a brand new way. And it’s probably something you can do with pieces you already own! Head-to-toe white makes quite a statement in a modern and monochromatic way. We’ve created three outfits to get you all fired up about white-hot looks for spring.

All white outfits may seem daunting at first, but by using multiple separates, you can easily create a modern and sleek look. This textured scuba blazer dresses up a cami and white skinny jeans. Pair this outfit with metallic silver pumps and a floral wallet and you have a great outfit for a fun night out.

Textured Scuba Blazer (Topshop $115) | Ivory Pleat Front Cami (Dorothy Perkins $15) | J Brand 811 Mid-Rise Skinny Jeans (Net-A-Porter $175) | Jowzer D’Orsay Pumps (Nine West $79) | Ted Baker London Floral Bow Matinee Wallet (Bloomingdale’s $150)

We all love a comfortable sneaker. Pair with a girly eyelet dress and the incredibly popular bucket bag, you have a fun spring outfit that is not only chic, but sensible.

All Eyelets On You Dress (ModCloth $69.99) | Converse Chuck Taylor Low Top Sneakers (Macy’s $49.99) | Marc by Marc Jacobs ‘Metropoli’ Leather Bucket Bag (Nordstrom $278)

For a more relaxed look, pair a white rollsleeve top with bermuda shorts and white sandals. Add a pop of color with a crossbody bag and you’re set for the weekend.

White Collarless Rollsleeve Top (Dorothy Perkins $27) | AEO Factory Twill Bermuda Short (American Eagle Outfitters $39.95) | Circus by Sam Edelman ‘Selma’ Gladiator Sandal (Nordstrom $44.95) | MICHAEL Michael Kors ‘Bedford’ Saffiano Leather Flat Crossbody Bag (Nordstrom $178)
