Hello sweethearts. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week thus far.
In my little corner of the world I am bidding goodbye to winter and welcoming the rejuvenating season of spring. We are only a few weeks into spring , yet it is quite evident that the spring fairies are hard at work clearing away all the remnants of winter and replacing it with longer hours of sunshiny days and a flourishing landscape teeming with fresh blooms, new grass sprouts and chirping birds. Therefore, spring time is symbolic of new beginnings and a fresh start.
Given this sense of newness associated with the season of spring, it is therefore no surprise that the fashion industry has resourcefully embrace this period to showcase all the upcoming and new trends for the year. With that being said, some of 2017 fashion trends that we will be seeing more of are; statement sleeves exaggerated by volume and ruffles, bright bold colors, ’80s and ’90s inspired silhouettes, gender neutral pieces and a mélange of patterns and prints. So given the range of versatile and artsy inspired trends this is the year to break the mould and be adventurous in putting together separates to created unique outfits.
Therefore, in the spirit of celebrating spring the best way I know, I wore an outfit showcasing some of spring’s more popular trends, stripes and florals. Stripes are a classic print usually connected with looks that are retro chic, however in recent times the popularity of this print has exploded with it being used to design both couture and affordable street style outfits. Even the sweet ladylike blooms of floral prints have been rejuvenated to be incorporated into bold power looks.
In respect to my outfit, I decided to add a bit of character by layering my embroidered floral sweater over the classic blue white shirt thereby creating a statement piece. Additionally, the timeless appeal of the buttoned down blue and white stripe shirt and the on trend over sized sweater guaranteed the versatility of these separates.
To complete my look I wore another on trend piece, a floral embroidered slightly distressed denim jeans. Denim jeans is a wardrobe staple because of its functionality and adaptability. And in recent times this primary piece of clothing seems to have taken a life on its own because it has evolved to include a variety of styles and designs ranging from simple elegance to fun and trendy . In this case, the denim jeans I wore is au courant to the trend of decorative statement jeans. My entire outfit is therefore a nod to some of 2017 fashion trends.
This concludes this blog post on some of spring trends. I hope you all enjoy this post and thank you for reading.
Much love,
Salisha
