Hot Spring and Summer Trends

In With The New!

Written by: Ashley Dinh, Reporter – Posted: Mon Apr 16th, 2007

Spring has finally arrived! However, it's difficult to pick out what to wear and what to buy next because there are countless spring looks out there. After watching numerous episodes of Fashion File and flipping through many issues of Vogue, I've picked out six of my favourite trends that have been featured in every store display and graced the cover of every fashion magazine.

Bright Accessories



We know that spring is right around the corner when birds start singing and daisies, marigolds, orchids and daffodils start showing their colours. So why shouldn't spring fashion imitate the season itself? One of the first and best ways to reinvent your wardrobe without maxing out your (or your parents') credit cards is to invest in some key accessories. In a season celebrating life and color, move your dark hues to the back of the accessories section of your closet and replace them with neon bights. Pink, red, and pastel yellows and greens are the perfect way to update any outfit. Whether you chose to stand out with flats, earrings or in the handbag department, just remember the cardinal rule when accessorizing; there is such a thing as too much. Bright and elaborate accessories pair well with more neutral outfits, and vice versa. Try neon pink pumps with a black tunic and black leggings, or a white cardigan and skinny jeans teamed with yellow earrings or a headband.

really good article! detailed and full of great summer fashion. i
love the way you compared the runway look to the cheaper ones!!
heart the dresses
ew much?
I think this article was adorable and on point and gave great
options for all budgets. niceeeee job. :)
Since when was fashion about pleasing men? Incorrect.
Men dont care about all this high fashion BS. Whacky shoes? Forget
about it...We don't think they're cute. Weird 80's style outfits?
yea..It was the 80s for a reason...

The best fashion advice I can give women of all ages?

Wear a nice pair of jeans/pants that make your ass look awesome.
Wear some sneakers... I dont want to worry about your heel
breaking off or you complaining about your feet hurting. That's
not attractive. A baby doll Tshirt...

BOOM....Totally hottified!

Women, Face it. Men dont care about your fashion...We are just as
turned on with you in one of our dress shirts as a night gown then
when you're in sexy lingerie. We would rather have you in jeans
and a tshirt that then something goofy that's fashion forward
YYYYYYYYYYYYYUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yuck, I mean, I like bright colors and all, but some of that stuff
is overkill.

GoJane has a lot of cute things though.

And micro-minis? Yikes! Unless you're going to the beach, is there
really an appropriate place to wear those? Not really.

I'm alright with chunky heels. They are in fact a staple in my
fashion, on days when I don't have to go many places.

Metallics are a bit wild. They are a character of their own. In a
way they are a lot like brights, when they're in, they're in, but
when they're out, they really out! Think of it like that sequin
fad we had 2 years back. When that died, it died. I prefer my
fashion to be professionally timeless. But that is a great forever
21 bracelet.

The sundress is always a staple for the summer time. I've noticed
with the Avon and Mark stuff lately, that white is the new IT
color. Instead of the little black dress, this summer it's all
about your little white dress, decorated with blue bias, white
eyelet patterns, or a tiered skirt of some kind.

Also be on the watch for tops with versatility. I.e. I know Mark
is coming out with a tie-up top that can be tied in three
different ways. And there's a long shirt that can be worn 3
different ways. I have seen similar shirts elsewhere.
I'm checking out that website right now!
Oh, I wish I could fit into all of that stuff. lol
A really great place to get some cheap clothes is
classiccloseouts.com and they have some really cool cheap clothes.
With free shipping on orders 40 dollers or more and usually give
you a gift code on the opening page for 10 dollars of 50 dollars
or more.
