It’s official, spring has finally arrived. In other words it’s time for a big spring clean. Although, I’m leaving the windows to NICK’S Window Cleaning!
While it’s still a little chilly outside, we can’t wait to shed our jackets and boots for clothes that are bright and breezy. Here are all of the spring trends we are excited to start wearing.
Trend One: Florals
Nothing says spring like a great floral print. Just be careful with this one because its a thin line between classy and trashy with floral patterns. The bold Philly fashionista should opt for some floral pants while floral peplum tops are a safer alternative for the rest of us. EVERYONE should grab at least one floral skirt for spring and summer.

Trend Two: Asymmetrical Dresses
This spring there is something happening with the shape and cut of dresses. They are cut short or left longer in places that you may not be used to but embrace the look. It will flatter you. Choose an Asymmetrical dress that highlights your best features and smartly covers you where you want it most. Our personal favorite is the tank top one shoulder dress that walked the runway at BCBG Max Azria SS’13.

Trend Three: Cobalt
There are very few colors that look good on everyone. Otherwise, pastels might have made this list as they are ALWAYS in style when spring arrives. But this spring, the color to wear is cobalt blue. The color looks great on EVERY skin tone and wearing anything in the rich hue will give you instant style.

Trend Four: Harnesses
That’s right ladies, harnesses. It turns out Christian Grey inspired an entire line at BCBG Max Azria s/s 2013 that gave birth to a 35 piece collection consisting mostly of dresses with some kind of harness. And we have to say, we loved it. We’re tracking the trend on all kinds of items from dresses to skirts and even shirts. One absolute spring must have is to rock a harness inspired look.

Trend Five: Vests
Wear a vest this spring and you will achieve instant city chic. Throw a vest over anything and everything (and we mean EVERYTHING) from your floral dress to your white linen pants or maxi skirt. Vests are a great way to pull your spring look together in place of the blazers it will soon become too hot to wear. We’re loving black motorcycle vests over a black sheath dress and green khaki vests over a floral dress. Also, why not try a bright pink vest over some white linen pants or get playful with black and white combos? Trust us, no matter what age or size you are you simply cannot go wrong in a vest this spring.

Trend Six: Statement Necklaces
Do statement necklaces ever go out of style? We’re not sure either but one thing is for sure, keep wearing them this spring. The more color, metallics and bling THE BETTER. #thatisall

Trend Seven: The Chunky Kitten Heeled Shoe
We’re obsessing over chunky kitten heels for spring 2013 because not only are they stylish, they are very walkable too. Show off your adorable spring toes in a pair of sandals with a slight heel and you will elevate the style of your look in an awesomely comfortable way.
