Spring Fashion / Trashion Trends Finale

This is my final spring fashion trend post and may be my favorite. I remember wearing my girl scout uniform so proudly (pretty sure I would not be wearing it these days - although I do think I am one of the rare women of my generation who look very hot in a snap on tie).

I did cheat a bit now and then on my badges - because I so loved getting them and sewing them onto my sash! I am getting misty eyed just thinking about that sash - ugh!

Anyway, the scouts are back in a big way this season with a trend we will call SCOUT OUT LOUD. The mix of crisp khaki and summer brights coupled with that great Girl Scout green, browns and reds.

Spring Fashion / Trashion Trends

Checking out this spring's new, and not so new, fashion trends can inspire our own work in fresh and exciting ways.

Another spring trend which we will call UNDER THE SEA highlights blues and greens and turquoises and corals. Seashell necklaces, starfish rings and all things beachy will be happening everywhere.

Anything that reminds me of those warm, relaxing summer vacations is, as Martha would say, a good thing.

More Spring Fashion / Trashion Trends

Here are some more hot spring trends that may spark a creative fire in your belly.

DIGITAL duds with pixelated patterns are going to be everywhere. Even Fendi clutches have bold digital designs that prove it is chic to be geek. Think modern tie-dye with this trend.

Clunky, bold jewelry, computer-age graphics, the dicotomy of digital with softer, lighter fabrics are all pieces of this modern mosaic.

Another spring trend is going to be a LOVE FEST with sexy-sweet clothing and accessories.

Jewel-trim headbands and leather clutches, embellished dresses and sky-high platform sandals will be everywhere. Pastels and little hearts will be happening with this style.

Also check out Pantone's new spring colors which will be incorporated into all the trends.

Spring Fashion / Trashion Trends

In my effort to stay trendy (who knew!)- I will be dissecting a few spring fashion trends this week in an effort to see how we can integrate what's hot and what's not into our own work. The first trend this spring is called American Pie, but we will just call it spots and dots.

Spots and dots aren't really anything new but are being incorporated into fashion in new ways. Constellation prints, seen on the runway at Marni and Michael Kors, adorn everything from blazers and handbags to dresses and shoes for spring.

The old frontier look is new again. Another trend this spring is Pioneers. Plaids, stripes, and faded flower prints; think linen sundresses and chunky wood wedges.

Pieces that feel homespun and are prairie-ready for spring. Not exactly what Laura Ingalls Wilder would wear, but what she would have wanted to wear. The modern prarie look includes ruffles and plaids and crisp, clean lines.
