Yes, I've talked a lot about spring, but chances are you're still just swirling and wonder. Does spring 2012 fashion mean anything to mean. I mean I just want to know what to wear to school tomorrow? Hence I've put together an easy shopping list. I've put together 14 items/elements, but realistically I know we'll be able to buy about 3 of them, (myself included.) But at least you have options, and I promise at least several of these options will be affordable. Also the best thing is that spring I'll say officially begins in March, so you have March, April, and May. :)
1) Global Prints: are prints that remind you of somewhere, exotic and that mimic something tribal. Here's an example of this cotton dress from H&M for $59.95. You could wait until you can afford your own plane ticket, but on the bright side you can go around the world with your fashion, before March Break is over.

2) Ocean Tones: any blue that reminds you of the ocean, azure, turquoise, light blue, baby blue all apply. Here's some examples.

3) Printed pants: I know you're scared, because somehow everyone seems hesitant about this trend at first. But I'm daring you and myself to try it. Ok you guys can hold me to it. I"ll try printed pants/shorts once, but I had a friend you wore some python printed pants and she looked awesome. And honestly she didn't turn as many heads (in a bad way) as you'd expect. I think even her boyfriend liked them so there proof! Now you have to try them.
4) Mixed Textures: I thought this was a really interesting trend, because I can't say I've seen this look repeated in fashion before, at least not too many times. So basically try a try made with two different textures. A simple easy one is to try lace and sheer for example.

5) Pleated Skirts: Okay this is going to rank up there as one of my favourite trends of the season. I think we all know what a pleated skirt is. It really is just a skirt with pleats. You can create a school girl/Gossip Girl inspired piece with this look, or you can just wear it with any simple shirt. I don't think you can go to wrong with it.
6) Full Skirts: These are rounder, A-line skirts. They are usually just slighyly above the knee, below the knee, or calf-length. I think it's a very classic style and again can be paired with a simple shirt.
7) Leather Shorts: This is a really hot trend that I'm excited about. I think I've highlighted a beloved mini leather skirt that I have in some of my posts. So it's only natural that I would be excited about leather shorts. Maybe the obsession stems from the fact that a good girl can look so bad-ass.

8) Little White Dress: it's the new LBD people (little black dress), introducing the LWD (little white dress). This is a trend I actually clearly remember from last summer actually. Closer to the end of summer. I don't know if I personally saw it take off a lot, but in my small town who knows? But since this is an idea that was from last year I'm pretty sure it will take off. I'm also predicting that we'll be carrying this look right into summer, so it'll be a great investment.

9) Neon Pink: I think neon was big last year or at least a couple years ago closer to back to school. I remember once in high school we had a neon theme dress day. So I recall that not a lot of people born in the 90s have neon. IF and I mean IF it's tasteful see if your mom has any great neon that is still wearable from her days. But be leary of the 80s. So this is something that you'll probably have to buy. I'm going to recommend Forever 21 because, they usually have brightly colored clothing all year round. No wonder it feels like springtime in there. :)

10) Peplum: which we already discuss, but a quick repetez is that it's a blouse that's cinched with pleats. A.k.a. see Ashley Greene below.

11) Off-the Shoulder: I don't know if most of you will remember or know about this, but the first time I considered off-the-shoulder I recalled Lady Di's off-the-shoulder dress. This is a really great summer look, any off the shoulder top paired with shorts, but I also seen it worn all year round. Actually I notice it's popular amongst the girls at school to wear off the shoulder tops. So try it, you can probably buy this kind of thing in almost any "young" store including Garage, Aeropostale, American Eagle, Abercrombie, and Hollister.

12) Sheer Print: There can be nothing more beautiful and relaxed then a sheer print. It's right on trend with the modern romance theme, and it gives an innocent elegance that looks like you weren't even trying to look good like Michelle Williams. I just had a nostalgic Lady Diana moment, and since we're talking about sheer prints it reminded me of one of the first pictures that was taken of her as a potential royal. Apparently she was teaching kindergarten at the time and expected to marry the prince. She went to give the cameras one picture and didn't realize how sunny it was with her sheer print. Bless her heart.

13) Head-To-Toe Neutral or Neutrals
I'm really colorful at least in fashion. So sometimes I appreciate neutrals and sometimes I don't. But it can be a really sexy look as our hot tamales Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Heidi Klum show us here. So try it, especially with a rosy glow or a good bronzer.

14) High-Slit Skirt: Ok I've gotta laugh a little at this look. I think it was big either in the 80s or 90s, and everyone would wear this on the red carpet and think they're oh so sexy, but Amanda Seyfried shows us it still can be. When it comes to the slit, you can make it as high or as subtle as you want. You're the judge. :)
