Trends, trends and more trends! There are so many different ones that even I find them a bit difficult to keep up with. Yes, I just admitted that! Fashion is ALWAYS evolving and unless you make it your priority to be up to date on the latest and greatest trends, you can get a tad confused on what’s hot and what’s not! But not to worry my friend. That’s why I spend countless hours on the Internet reading blogs, researching designers and buying magazines…so you don’t have to! Before delving into the millions of groovy trends you oughta know, let’s just keep it basic and chat about key pieces. According to the Instyle Magazine (March ’14 Issue), there are 5 KEY PIECES that you need for Spring 2014 and they are:
5 Key Pieces of Spring 2014
1. Denim Jacket
2. Striped Dress
3. Flowy Pants
4. White Jacket
5. Flippy Skirt
As you can see, these are all pretty basic pieces and quite possibly things that you already have in your closet. However, the tricky part comes when you actually have to put the pieces together! Currently, fashion is all about unique color, pattern and texture combinations. Mixing a bunch of different things together in hopes of creating a look that’s cohesive and balanced. To display how one would do that, I have taken two key pieces from the list above and created a fun spring look. The flippy skirt and the denim jacket.
This skirt served as my foundation piece. I am particularly obsessed with stripes (another popular spring trend) and the texture! Oh yes, you can’t see it, but the zip closure is stinking cute.
Because I like to be a little non-traditional with my ensemble choices, I decided to go with a denim vest instead of a denim jacket! Also, it’s stinking HOT in South Georgia, so wearing a jacket is very impractical I was drawn to this vest because of the stud embellishments and the light wash. Very hipster. As I mentioned above, fashion is about mixing unlikely things together, hence, the reason why I combined this hipster denim vest with a preppy striped flippy skirt!
To balance and soften the denim vest, I then added this sheer lace top. Lace is timeless. You can never go wrong with lace. Never.
Just a couple of my signature accessories. I wear them with EVERYTHING!
And there you have it. A simple and easy look incorporating a few of the KEY PIECES that every girl needs to know for Spring 2014.
