Spring fashion about the ladiesFashionab-leeBy Erin Lee / senior writer
It is finally time for spring cleaning. No, I dont want you to
clean your entire dorm or apartment, just the most important place
your closet. Heres a checklist for springs freshest looks.
Full skirts are everywhere. These knee-length or longer skirts look best
when paired with a fitted top, such as simple white tank-top, since the
shirt shouldnt overpower the beauty of the skirt. Anthropologie.com
has tons of fabulous choices. Wedge shoes look great with these skirts. A pair in gold is a favorite
because it looks great with most outfits. Ethnic and Bohemian- inspired pieces are also a necessity. Pair a tunic
or caftan with your favorite jeans and gold earrings. When going for this
look, imagine the queen of Bohemian style, Sienna Miller. The nautical look also washed up on runways for spring. Try a white and
blue or red striped top with sailor pants, Citizens of Humanity at nordstrom.com
makes a lovely pair. Add anything with an anchor on it, like a necklace,
earrings or a shirt for bonus points. "Out of Africa" means more than an old movie this spring, as
some looks are fit for a safari. These consist of mostly tan, black and
brown colors, but a leopard or zebra print is also an option. A structured
khaki jacket like one from gap.com looks great with a skirt. Add wooden
bangles or beads to top off the look. Dont forget to add a crocheted piece to your wardrobe. If youre
not brave enough to sport an entirely crocheted dress, then try a bag
or a top with a tank underneath. Throw out the age-old motto to never wear white before Memorial Day and
welcome yourself to the 21st century. White pants are a wise addition
to your wardrobe. Theyre like jeans because they go with almost
anything I might also add that a guy requested that I include these
because all guys love white pants. When it comes to accessories, there is nothing dainty about the spring
styles. Big bags are a must, which are great for carrying all of your
treasures. One in a bright color or embellished with beads is a fine choice.
As for shades, nothing is more chic than oversized sunglasses. Break out
from the usual black or brown frames and try a pair in white or green.
The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming and the birds are chirping. Is your spring wardrobe just as appealing? |
