TREND WATCH: SPRING 2016

My favorite time of the year is sloooowly approaching. It is so beautiful outside as I type this post. Yes, legs are out lol. I really cannot wait for the winter to go away completely, so tired of the coats, scarves and boots. They are cute, but they've gotta go!
I am actually feeling color and floral this year with some off the shoulder and stripes business here and there. I wore waaaay too much neutrals this winter, I cannot wait to explore with color and beautiful patterns. These are some of the few trends that I am know that I am going to love this upcoming spring. Keep in mind that I am no fashion expert, these are my suggestions/opinions. Alrighty then, let's get started!!!

1. CULOTTES
Let me be honest with you guys. When I first saw these, I was like "um why is the length so weird though?" But as time went on and I kept seeing it, I started to like it. I think it is such a unique piece. So neat and classy too. Tip for anyone graduating in this May, this is a great option. I really like the fact that it is different because most likely, you will see a lot of people going for dresses or pants. Plus you wont be too hot and everyone will see your shoes haha.

2. OFF THE SHOULDER TOPS
I think the Boho looking type off the shoulder tops are so cute for the spring and in the summer. It is such a fun piece! I love how it looks with suede skirts(the cropped ones esp.) I like that you dont have to put a lot of effort into styling this as it look great on itself.

3. FLORAL
Girly girls unite!!! This is a favorite of mine. Now do not get me wrong, floral is nothing new. It comes and goes. I didn't see much of it last year, however it is here to stay this spring/summer. I have seen something floral in every shop I have walked into or visited online. Floral brings femininity out of everything and I love it!

4. FRINGE
Spring or Summer without some fringe is just not the same! I love the hobo-chicness that it delivers. It is like denim, it never goes away. I like that you can do whatever you want with it. It is a good piece for the minimalist and the over the top person.

5. STRIPS
Strips have made it on every trend fashion post on this blog. I love  that it changes every year. Last year was mainly horizontal strips. I am really feeling vertical strips this year. The pattern is so simple but very beautiful.
