Fashion Forecast

We got through the tornado yesterday in Texas. And today it’s sunny and 70 degrees. This means Spring fever is amongst the fashionista in Texas. And with perfect timing, Neiman Marcus sent out their Spring trend line-up. I couldn’t wait to share! Here’s what’s on their radar.

1. Pink-pastel, hot, bright, every shade.

2. Statement Shoes- High-heels and fringe.

3. Ruffles- Down the front of your dress or the details of your bag.

4. Carryalls- Backaches? No. A women needs a big bag to hold only the essentials.

5. Graphics- Go bold: A bright, graphic blouse, bangle or shoe is perfect for this trend (warning: don’t wear all together- it’s a statement piece not a wardrobe).

6. One-shoulder  Dressing- Modern but elegant. Find this in floor length, cocktail or just a fancy shirt.

7. Bold Jewelry- My fav. Interesting accents and details are always in style. With this trend, try a cocktail ring with a jeans. Mix it up.

8. Colorful Cardigans- Gray cards have been in, but this Spring spice up a simple outfit with a bright yellow cardigan (maybe even belt it).

9. Snakeskin Accessories- Yes, even in the daytime. It’s not just black and metallic these days. This luscious skin is comes in brights; on your shoes and on your bags.
