spring 2013 fashion trends - yay or nay?

i've been researching the fashion trends for spring 2013, some of which i love, some that i don't. so i thought i'd do a blog post covering some of the more popular trends and why i do or do not love them.

1. black and white



NO.

yes and no... i love my black and white... but for spring im looking towards some color after a blah winter season. black and white are the foundations for an outfit. but for spring i feel like if you're going to wear a neutral color you should add some color. im just not into an all black and white outfit for spring.

2. statement sunglasses



YES.

i love sunglasses. i can't leave the house without them, and the quirkier they are the better. they can totally be apart of your outfit and they're super fun. find one that fits your personality, and feel confident.

3. Bermuda shorts



NO.

i just do not find them flattering. i can appreciate the fact that they're not short shorts, and that they cover more skin. but the length just stumps me. i just think they fall at an awkward length and can make the bottom half of your body look larger than it is.

4. bold stripes



YES.

its a new look for stripes that i like. i have so many striped shirts in my closet, and they all start looking the same. i like that stripes are starting to take on a new life. they have always been a trend for spring, but its normally a boatneck tee with thinner stripes, but theres different variations that can add variety and excitement in your wardrobe.

5. beading



YES.

just not on couture gowns. imagine this on a top or on your sandals. from a distance it can even look like lace. its a flirty and feminine look for the spring. you can mix textures easily, such as a pleather circle skirt and a beaded top. i think its a fun look.



so thats my opinion of five of spring 2013's top trends. obviously its just my opinion and you are equally entitled to what you think. but i believe in being open to new trends, while making sure what i wearing is flattering to my body as well.

have fun <3
