Step Into The Spring Fashion Report!

It seems funny to sit here and begin writing a Spring fashion report since we haven't really had much of a winter but lets face it, Spring is closer than you think!  I was in Target last week, and they already had swimsuits!  I don't even want to begin thinking of this body in a swimsuit yet, I'm still exercising and semi-faithfully logging into My Fitness Pal!  Although, I may just have to keep my eyes open for one that catches my eye.  If I don't purchase one soon, they won't have any later when the actual season begins!  Reality is that stores begin placing new styles of clothing in the stores one season ahead, just like they do with holiday memorabilia, decor, greeting cards etc.

You might be asking yourself, why do I consider myself qualified to write a fashion report?!  Well for starters, as long as I can remember (even back when I wore hoodies and jeans every day) I have made it a life long mission to follow the latest fashion in magazines, online, conversing with friends, and best of all shopping.  You might remember I previously mentioned that one of my dream careers would be a personal shopper or stylist for the stars.  Or to work on a movie set or sitcom, that would be amazing!!  I've also participated in more than my share of retail therapy, and I personally wonder why shopping has not been considered a sport yet! 

One fail proof way to decide if you like a trend, is to take a look around.  I am constantly assessing people around me (not judging by the way, I think there is a difference) and considering if their outfit will work on my body type, or the color works with my skin color.  If I see someone wearing something that I like together for example, I will go home and look in my closet to see if there is an outfit that I can put together that is similar.  Slightly fashion obsessed you ask?  Of course!

Yes ladies, I do realize everyone doesn't share the same style as me, and I do recognize everyone has different body types and preferences.  It doesn't matter is you are more like Samantha or more like Charlotte from Sex in the City!  You can incorporate a touch of the latest styles into your existing wardrobe.  Just by adding one or two pieces, such as a scarf or a pair of shoes can bring you up to date.  I suggest looking at stores like Target, Forever 21, TJ Maxx and Marshall's for the latest trends and a reasonable price.  Save your more expensive purchases for classics like a black skirt, dark jeans, or a classic pair of peep toe heels.

If you have any favorites for this upcoming season that I have missed, please enlighten me!  I'd love to hear your take on what is going to be in, or what the classics are.  Or maybe you have already chosen a piece of trendy clothing or an accessory, but you don't know how to make it work with your current wardrobe? Message me, I can help!  Until then, I hope you enjoy the eye candy I have chosen to share and you look forward to my next fashion report!  Whether you love it or hate it, fashion is forever changing and I can't help it, I LOVE IT and it brings me pleasure to share it with you!

Embrace Your Sparkle,

B

Hot! Hot!  Hot! Gray and Yellow!  I love this color combo and you can utilize these colors in your wardrobe and/or in your home..both are IN!!





**Were you aware that a universally flattering color for all skin tones is turquoise?!  This one thrills me because it's one of my favorite colors!!**

Here's a trend including this color: Tangerine and Turquoise.





Be prepared to see the hints of the 80's coming back! Color blocking, bold bright colors and colored jeans! :




As well as 1950's fashion: Classics!:





Some popular patterns, and textures are going to be...Lace and Floral! So 80's too, but flirty and feminine:








And I will leave you with one last trend for the Spring: Neutrals!
