Fresh Blooms:

Springing into style with the latest fashion trends
Fresh+Blooms%3A

Spring is just around the corner – so what will we be wearing this season? With the season looking to be on the warmer side down here in Springfield, we are gearing up and getting a head start on fresh inspiration. Life is starting to feel pleasant under the sun and the blooming flowers, nothing makes the day better than wearing something you feel happy in. Trends don’t always have to be trends – wear whatever floats your boat! In this article, we will be discussing just a few pieces we are beginning to see blossom as the grass gets greener.

 

Starting off strong, we are seeing a revival of pastels and bolder colors. Winter is essentially all about the grays and neutrals. With the sun starting to peek out of the clouds, there is no harm in beginning to bust out some pinks, lilacs and yellows. This apples to makeup looks as well: glowy foundation with shimmery lids has been the girls-night-out go-to and it makes all the difference in a plain ensemble. Another beloved staple has been denim or a riskier option…denim on denim. It is classic and timeless, it screams traditional but remains a modern look. We haven’t only been seeing denim pants, there has been a resurgence of denim skirts as well as denim shoes, blazers, you name it.

Spring is all about going with the flow: flowy dresses and blouses have been the move lately. They’re light and airy, touching on a more feminine side. We personally love this aura of looks with cowgirl boots and colorful sneakers. The possibilities are endless this spring, and whatever you choose to wear, as long as you feel good you’ll look good!
