Fall Looks That Will Take You Into Spring

Dahlings, the weather has been so unbearable lately. And it seems that we've had enough cold, sunless rainy days. My 16-year old niece recently posted on her Facebook status that she forgot what the sun feels like. Well, so do I. And worst off, I've lost interest in my winter clothing, which means it's time for a change in season. Already the internet has been buzzing with the top trends for Spring and you might have already seen the first signs of Spring in the stores. But I'm glad to see that some trends from last season are staying put.


One trend that I'm thrilled to see carry over into the next season is the boyfriend blazer. This wardrobe staple is a major key layering piece that can take you through all seasons. Push up the sleeves and pair it with everything from skinny pants to skirts and dresses. If you've read my very first post, you know I love me blazer.

 The  necklace continues to make a statement for Spring. And thankfully, jewelry returns as an important accessory for Spring. More importantly it's the cheapest, easiest way to update your look.

The military influence was big this Fall and if you were among the many that succumbed to purchasing a cute military jacket, you can keep wearing it throughout the Spring. I still have the military jacket I brought five years ago. But it's more reminiscent of Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation and I love it. Word on the street is that this Spring, the military jacket might replace the motorcycle jacket chicks have been rocking all last season. I'm not sure about that; two different looks entirely. For a new twist try the military anorak, a more relaxed, less structured look.

 Garden glamour aka floral motifs and patterns are another look that will carry over for Spring. I really love this look. It's demure, sophisticated and statement making all at once. This Spring, designers are big on blooms of all different sizes, from simple, cherry-blossom details to oversized, eye-catching rosettes. Many of the dresses would not be out of place at a '50s garden party. Love.

Stripes were everywhere last Fall. And this Spring the classic stripes are back big time. Blue and white seem to be a new combo folks are raving about but you can pull off the Breton-inspired trend with any color combo. I have a red /white combo and just recently realized that I own two gray/black combos. Not sure why that happened. I know there's a lot talk about  horizontal stripes widening the waistline but there's just something about stripes that I love; simple and no fuss but visually stimulating.  It's a classic look worth having in your clothing rotation.

More to come on my favorite looks for Spring.
