One of things that has kept me sane these past few weeks, is knowing that Spring is just round the corner. I know we are all tired of layering up and heading out in the cold and we just can’t wait to ease up and relax with our wardrobe choices. I know I am! Haha!
I’ve compiled a few of the trends I’m excited about and will be incorporating into my personal style this spring. I do hope you find some springspiration through it! 🙂
~ The New Girlie ~
Think pretty pastels, lovely lace and girly glamour. If this is not usually your thing, perhaps welcoming the new season with a little experimenting may be fun! Gather notes from our friends at Louis Vuitton and 3.1 Philip Lim.
(L-R 3.1 Philip Lim, Louis Vuitton, Carolina Herrera, Chanel)
~ Print Clash ~
When I say anything goes, I mean anything goes. Mary Katrazantou’s s/s 12 show is the perfect example of embracing this bold but fun trend. The secret is to wear with confidence!
(L-R Issa, Mary Katrazantou, Topshop Unique, Peter Pilotto)
~ Minimal Whites & Neutrals ~
For those who believe less is more, but still want to make a statement! Play around with different shades of white and neutrals, as well as the cut and texture, just like the designs of Philip Lim, the master of minimal charm.
(L-R Kanye West, Celine, 3.1 Philip Lim, Calvin Klein Collection)
I shopped my closet and created three looks inpsired by these trends! 🙂

I couldn’t agree more. I’m completely up for welcoming spring into my wardrobe. Although I’m a major fan of the pastel hues that are around at the moment…I; really intrigued by the simplistic white outfits!

I love the skirt. Now I need a print/floral-ish skirt (or two) :o) I love the sun as well. It really lifts my spirit and encourages me to be more productive and be outside a bit more. I love Spring weather going into Summer (my fav time of the year).

Shirley I just love the outfits that you invent. I have looked at all your videos and I became inspired to start blogging and today I posted my first YouTube video. I am super excited to find out what kind of feedback I will get. please check out my blog http://www.divatiffanystyle.blogspot.com and if you get a chance please check out my youtube channel by the same name. Have a good day Shirley.
i always love your outfit posts. my favorite is the last Spring look! the neutral look is always so chic and i have the same complexion as you, so I am super ready to mix and match those creams and beiges, so that i can look chic too. i’m a new york girl… always in black. your blog inspires me to go brighter and lighter this season!
