It's Never Too Early to Jump Into Spring

Winter got you down? Do you find yourself dreaming of flowers and laying in the grass while the warm sun beats down on you? If you do, then you (like many of us) have hit the winter blues. Its that awkward time of the year where spring is close enough to want it but far enough away that you can't quite feel it. To help with this we prescribe a healthy dose of color to brighten your pre-spring purgatory.

Take those neutrals you have been rocking all winter and start to introduce some pastels or splashes of solids to get that spring feel without freezing in the winter cold.

Denim Double Take

[Caution readers: Coming up is a trend that could go horribly awry. Please handle with care and good fashion sense.]

This spring retailers are bring back the 70s and 90s and switching things up by putting denim on the top half of the body rather than your bottom [half]. Jean jackets and denim inspired cotton shirts and dresses are making their way back onto the shelves and racks and into our closets this season. But this TRAX writer is a little hesitant to get too excited because I dread seeing a jean jacket paired with jean pants. ICK. But if one can style it right, this trend can turn into a cute fashion twist. To demonstrate I created two outfits using this denim double take trend.

First outfit is a denim inspired cotton shirt dress that, while it’s still a little chilly out, can be paired with legging and boots and accessorized with a scarf or necklace or a cute pair of flats in the warmer months for a light, casual day look.

 

My next outfit has a little more of a twist. I took a denim mini dress and paired it with a bright floral skirt for a fun spring to summer look!

Remember, stay away from denim on denim, especially if they are the same shade. No one wants to look like a cowboy at junior prom in a denim tuxedo.

XOXO,
