Spring 2018 Trends

Hey y'all! I don't know about y'all but I am ready for this week to be over. I was not ready for classes to start back again and we jumped two feet back in which is even worse. I guess you can say I am ready for summer to be here and to be traveling! I have the travel bug right now and am itching to get out of town and see a new place and explore! Even more than that I am really ready for warm weather to be here especially since we have seen snow here this week in North Carolina and I am really done with it.

But hoping into today's topic, we are inching closer to Spring being here and I am ready for all the new spring clothes to be here and flooding all the stores. I thought it would be a great idea, since we are only a few days away from the start of Spring, to go over the spring trends for this year! With each trend I have even included some of my favorite items to go along with each of the categories. You can click on the pictures and see where you can find each of them. So here we go!

Floral, Floral, and More Floral

Oh Florals, it's nice to keep you around! We saw a ton of florals starting this past fall, but ladies and gentleman they are staying around for another season and I am THRILLED! Now we all know that florals aren't groundbreaking for Spring, but I can't think of a better way to step into the new Spring season than with a bold floral print. Definitely look for new and unique details like ruching on tops and special floral designs on dresses. Pair these bold floral prints with nude or white shoes and brighten up your look.

Stripes-- Horizontal & Vertical

Stripes are always a must for me so that is why I am so excited to see that they are a huge trend this spring and on everything right now. Stripes are such a classic pattern for Spring but this season we are going to see a lot of mixes stripes or otherwise know as pinstripes as well, so the options are endless! I see all stripes being perfect for the office or a weekend brunch. You can never go wrong with stripes to create a casual and chic look.

Patterned and High-Waisted Pants

Oh the patterned pants, how I love you so much right now! Patterned and high-waisted pants are taking the fashion world by storm right now and you cannot put them in your shopping cart fast enough without them selling out so quickly. Now I love high-waisted pants but I am mostly excited about the patterned pants because it is such a change up especially with all the different patterns that are being seen-- stripes, floral, etc. I am on the hunt for some new ones and they are perfect for any outfit whether you are going to work or out on the town!

Statement Earrings and Dainty Jewelry

My favorite things of all, jewelry! If you didn't already know, I love jewelry and can't get enough of it all. But I am excited that statement earrings are sticking around and firing up by 100%. The statement earrings are now becoming bigger and have more detail and that excites me! On the other end of the spectrum, I am seeing a lot of dainty jewelry-- rings, necklaces, and bracelets. I love dainty jewelry because I feel you can wear a lot of it without it being too much. Definitely stay tuned to see how I wear both of these styles this Spring!

Round Totes and Straw Bags

It is the season of round totes and straw bags ladies and gents! Everywhere you look right now there is a new round or straw bag out there and selling fast. This is a trend that I am definitely catching on with because these are so great to pack for any kind of travel you have coming up right now especially any tropical. These bags are definitely a trend I can see carrying though to Summer as well and perfect for every outfit. I have a few in my Free People cart right now that I am ready to pull the trigger on to get ready for my big trip this summer!

Mules and Espadrilles

Now we saw Mules come into style this past Fall and Winter but they are for sure caring on through to the Spring and in a huge way. This season they are coming in a whole ton of new colors, especially pastels, and designs and are taking the shoe world by storm. The other shoe that is super popular right now is espadrilles! Espadrilles are back this season and better than ever. Some of my favorite pairs of espadrilles are on Nordstrom right now and in my cart waiting to go, just have to wait to get paid. I love the embroidered trim on most of these and other pairs have other special details to set them apart. These are definitely a fresh new take on sandals and I can guarantee that everybody will be wearing them this Spring and Summer!

Pastels and Bold Colors

Pastels really scream spring, but if you think about it, we really haven't seen pastels trending in a long time! Baby blue, light pink, lilac and lavender, sea foam green-- definitely look for these hues as you are shopping this spring. We will also be seeing monochrome bright and saturated hues like bright orange, hot pink, etc. As we head into Summer, we will se a lot more bright pastels and colors like mustard yellow and burnt orange-- just in case you are shopping for both seasons now! I think all of these colors are so pretty, but I have been stocking up on pastels and getting that color back in my closet!

I hope y'all enjoyed this! As always thank you for stopping by and reading!

Love, D
