Pantone may swear by pastels like rose quartz and serenity for 2016, but if the runways are any clue, it’s pretty clear that orange is also going to be a major color trend for this spring. From Altuzarra’s floral prints to Karen Walker’s navy and tangerine color combo, all signs point to the fact that the citrusy hue will be big this season.
Bring out the white and creams for this spring season with an easy-to-wear, Ashley Olsen inspired ensemble. Start off with an Equipment white button down blouse. This essential works for the office and you can throw it on with a pair of denim shorts for the weekend. What makes this neutral outfit work is the texture from the skirt.
One item you will want to add to your closet (or dig out in my case) is a denim pencil skirt. Some may say this trend is retro and they would be right. I think of the 70’s version my babysitter’s wore that were jeans re-purposed into a long skirt. I thought it was so cool. At any rate, today’s denim pencil skirt is a slim-fit skirt that’s all shades of denim blue, white or black and can be a midi length to just above the knees.
The shoe gods have finally heard my prayers. Flats are finally the shoe of choice. Major shoe designers are hopping on the bandwagon, like Christian Louboutin and Manolo Blahnik so I feel vindicated. I knew it was only a matter of time before women (and our feet) were going to rebel.
Kate Beckinsale proves heels, even while carrying your groceries are always chic! A jumpsuit is a spring essential. It is an easy piece to throw on because you don’t even have to worry if the top matches the bottom! This black and white printed Tart jumpsuit is a great copy of Beckinsale’s.
