Fashion Blog: What Spring Has In Store

Spring is here!! Are you fashionably ready for it?! What's in store? What's new? What's hot and what's not?

Is your closet full of skinny jeans in various shades of blue, black or brown? Are you thinking about getting rid of them to make room for your new 2012 wardrobe?

Well Ms. Fashionista, worry no more, because the answer is YES! Skinny jeans are definitely in for 2012. The blue, black and brown jean is a basic or classic jean, which will always stand the test of time.

What you will see however is COLOR. Oh yes my friends, color is where its at this year! Think bright, audacious, outgoing, and bold.

Color is where it's at, and Mandarin Orange is HUGE. All shades of orange are. I'm not just talking blouses, tops, accessories, or Ts. We're looking at pants, slacks and especially jeans and Capri's.

You'll be seeing lots of color this spring in the skinny jean, as well as the retro '70s look with the higher waist, and wide, flared leg. There is so much diversity this spring that you won't need to worry about what's in your closet now. Most of it will mix and match with the colors bursting out of the stores and smaller unique boutiques.

There will be so many options; you'll be excited to get dressed each morning! Dressing to your mood, not the trend. This Spring no one style of pant, shorts, skirt or dress will be, “the in thing.” Rather you'll have options, colors, styles, and the comfort of making your “own style and flare” stand out.

So, get ready for spring ladies...prepare for vibrant, in skinny jeans, flare not only in pants but also in colors and a look that is uniquely yours!
