SASSY FOR SPRING TRENDS

Though the weather might be chilly, spring colors and styles are in the stores so it's time to step up your style game for Spring!  Hot spring colors include coral/nectarine, turquoise, monaco blue or sapphire blue, emerald, lemon zest, and chartreuse or a soft mix of yellow and green.  

Spring is about layering with colors and textures.  Thin knit cardigans, cropped jackets, long cardigans, and silk blouses are great pieces for spring.  Add belts, jewelry, heels and flats, plus purses in fun new styles and colors to make your look POP!  Colored denim and printed denim are eye catching pieces for spring.

Pair a cropped jacket with a bold colored top and printed denim.  Layering necklaces and add bright colored heels to complete your look.

WRAP IT UP IN STYLE WITH FUR VESTS

As the temperatures are dropping at night, finish off your look with a fabulous fur vest (real or faux).  This look can transform your work look, to casual night/day out, to a dressier evening on the town.  Mix unexpected prints and colors with the vest to give it flair!

Style It Up:

-Belt it around your high waist to cinch you in and add drama.  Bejeweled belts work great.

-Work the cropped vests with longer sweaters and tops.

-Pair tweed short shorts with tights and a fur vest with shoe booties.

-Metallic dresses, sequin skirts or shorts, and metallic skirts look stylish with a fur vest in a monotone color.

Here is a model I styled for the Divine Style DC fall fashion show.  She is wearing caramel skinny leatherette's jeans by Citizens of Humanity paired with an Amanda Uprichard purple silk blouse and a Free People Faux Fur Vest, all from Luna Boutique Bethesda.  The contrasting colors of the blouse and pants make the outfit pop, paired with a vest in the same color family...though not "matching".  

This BCBG Ombre fur vest is working another hot trend..."OMBRE".  Very chic and looks great styled for a night on the town, or more causal with jeans, boots, and leggings.  Ombre is the fading from dark to light which is also slimming.
