Don't know about you, but I am MORE than ready for spring.
As I was walking through the aisle at Target the other day, admiring the swimwear (and plotting how I can buy it ALL) I overheard two women who were aghast at the sight of the tropically colored suits.
Why, WHY don't people realize three things:
1. It's never too early for spring and summer.
2. College spring break is soon and the company just wants to make some money.
3. People who care about fashion are always one step, er season, ahead in order to be on trend.
Deal, people, just deal.
I know I'm a little behind the curve in playing on Polyvore, but check out a little Spring inspiration I put together on Polyvore...
...check out more on Polyvore as I create and update!
My spring predictions:
{Vintage}
Think Downton Abbey-inspired home decor --> white bud vases, crystal glassware, old- fashioned floral tea cups, even English roses. Dressing up as opposed to dressing down will be a theme this spring.

{Pastels}
Easter colors will be all over this spring. Mix and match them but be sure it's not too cutesy otherwise you'll look like someone old trying to be young. Young like a 5 year old. Instead, give the pastels an edge - think Easter meets Miami - and pair your pastels with angular bags, modern jewelry and streamlined silhouettes.

I just got a pair of pastel floral jeans that I cannot WAIT to wear!
{Breezy}
Flowy, sheer fabrics will be all over this spring in the forms of button downs, maxis, silks, and skirts. Great for those warm spring days ahead.

{50s Modern}
Skater, shift, and sheath dresses are all the rage. Women are dressing up again, modestly, and it's delightful! No more baring-it-all; it is flattering for everyone and leaves much to the imagination. Women can choose subtle details that exude confidence and sex appeal. Look for details such as a cut out shape, ruching, asymmetrical necklines with bows, or jeweled details, prints, and color!

{Adapted menswear}
Square or rectangle angular bags, such as bowlers or totes that imitate the famous Hermes Birkin, button downs shirts in chambray or sheer fabrics, flats like Keds or Tods are popular. Even grandma sandals will be especially in (my grandma used to wear sandals just like this - she was so ahead of her time!).

{Anchors} and nautical inspired pieces
Stripes and anchors are all the rage. Add subtle pieces like anchor earrings, bracelets, or if you're more bold, get your hands on an anchor sweater.
{Florals}
Florals everywhere and on everything from jeans, button downs, bedding, and dresses. Think romantic Easter at Downton Abbey with a splash of the 80s.

Oscar de la Renta dress (I'll never get it, but a girl can dream, right???)

I'm still waiting for my Clare Vivier foldover clutch too, btw! (**Hint, cough, hint**)
Nude pumps - You can always use a pair of these - so versatile.
