Yippee! It’s Spring Break!
Sigh… Despite the snow, I am thinking about Spring trends. Mostly, I’m wondering if I will ever be able to wear skirts without tights… but I’m also wondering which Spring 2014 trends I will find at VV Boutique. Contrary to popular belief, thrift shopping does not mean you’ll be behind the times, that you’ll only find last Spring’s trends. I have proved time and time again that I am able to find on-trend pieces while they’re still on-trend. Thrifted prices, in fact, are the perfect way to try trends! Then, if you don’t like it, you haven’t wasted many hard-earned fashion dollars and if you do like it, you can brag to all your friends about your amazing deal!
Here is what’s on my radar for spring… okay okay, I admit I’ve already found some spring pieces so I’ll share what I’ve got and what I’m still hunting for!
1. Crop tops – if they’re good enough for Vogue, they’re good enough for me.
4. Floral mix – just in case, I bought 75 floral pieces to mix and match with stripes, other prints, statement tees, plain tees and everything in between. I’m considering floral a neutral and going for it.
5. Metallic as a neutral – I have already scored a pair of sandals and matchy-matchy coordinating cross-body bag and come to think of it I have two other pairs of summer metallic shoes.
Still, if I chance upon a shiny pair, they’ll be in my cart before you can say “gold!” And then there’s my latest designer find, a Michael Kors gold knit sleeveless!
6. Midi-length skirts – this length makes wearing skirts to work practical for me. And since capris are a no-go for my sponge-bob-square-pants peg-leg ankles, skirts are my solution for cooler clothing.
7. Pastels – monochromatic, mixed or with a pop of primary, I plan to break out the pastels ASAP.
8. Art prints – I don’t exactly know what this is, but I think I’ll know it when I see it. Chances are someone is going to buy it, decide it’s too bold and donate it right into my willing hands!
9. Light wash ankle-crop denim skinnies – preferably with a higher rise, if I’m ordering. Believe it or not, Forever 21 makes a pant that is surprisingly forgiving in the rise. But if I find J Brand, that’ll do too.
10. D’Orsay shoes – because I’m fresh out of shoes, I will be keeping an eye out for these. Mostly so that I can say “these are my d’Orsay shoes” and sound all chic and impressive.
11. Colourful sunnies – I have a high attrition rate for sunglasses, as does every mother. I think… Is it me? Dang. Anyway, I lose sunglasses easily and am therefore unwilling to splurge on a pricey pair and there’s no need since VV Boutique has a decent selection. I already scored a functional black pair and now want something with bold colour!
12. Elevated sweatshirts – interesting prints, embellishments or other details take a comfy favourite and make it stylish! It’s good to go with those floral bottoms, over a dress, with jeans, with work trousers… I have one and I want more!
13. Navy – Navy is apparently “the neutral” for spring (says Shirely Borrelli for one) and considering it’s not black and it gets along with every other colour, I am keeping my out for navy pieces to join my other navy friends:
There you have it! Stay tuned to see how I style these spring pieces over the next few months and how my spring hunting goes! To easily connect with VV Boutique Style, just look to the top right and *BE AMAZED* by my new social media buttons.*
*I am not a tech person. Nothing makes me feel forty faster than trying to figure out computer code. Thankfully I had some virtual help from Christina at I Gotta Create and the video tutorial by Emily of Blogaholic Designs. Nonetheless it took me longer than I care to admit to get my buttons to work so you better stop and admire them. Thank you in advance.
