Spring 13 Trends


 Fashionistas from far and wide are reflecting on the new trends and themes for Spring 13.  If you splurged on many items last spring you may be in luck cause some of the trends are the same. Fashion is about thinking outside the box and throwing everything out there and seeing what goes with what. So without further ado here are the Spring 13 trends.

Every one needs some color in their life.  This spring it is all about Bright color. Designer Michael Kors has amazing pieces for spring 13, he has a yellow floral lace empire shift dress that is absolutely stunning. The dress is made out of sheer lace, it has a round neckline and it is sleeveless and on the back of the dress there is a zipper. This dress will be perfect for a late happy hour or even a job cocktail party. I would pair the dress with an open toe strappy sandal; I would wear your hair back in a messy bun with small stud earrings. This dress can be purchase at
www.MichaelKors.com for $1,995.00. 

If you feel that yellow isn’t your color Designer Alice+Oilva has a pink/orange cheetah print Marlene sleeveless A-line dress. With the A-line shape it gives a retro feel and a fit for modern day mayhem. While wearing this dress you will be on the prowl for after work cocktails. I would pair this dress with an open toe strappy scandal and I would limit the jewelry to just a couple of gold bracelets. You can purchase this dress at www.saksfifthavenue.com for $297.00.

When rapper Jay Z announced that he was going to wear black for a year straight everyone fell in love with the color. While wearing black it makes you feel sexy and powerful. This spring it is about adding some color to that all black, the trend that graced the runaways this year was the black +white combination. Marc by Marc Jacobs has an Avery balck+white silk dress that is perfect for the spring. It has cleverly placed panels and the grosgrain belt detail that will draw close attention. This dress can be dressed up and dressed down; you can pair the dress with some black ankle boots and some silver accessories. You can purchase the dress at www.neimanmarcus.com for $238.00. 

Stripes are always fun and classic. Designer Tommy Hilfiger had fun with stripes on New York Fashion Week Runway. Tommy Hilfiger has a Ponte Stripe Dress that is very polished, simple and classic. The dress comes in two different colors, the sleeves are ¾ and the dress has patch pockets. You can wear the dress just about anywhere; you can wear it while you are running errands or even for a nice picnic in the park. I would recommend wearing some nice wedge heels or even a pair of converse. You can purchase the dress at www.tommyhilfger.com for $68.00. 

 This particular trend is one that most will love. If you are looking to makeover your wardrobe why not add some studs on one of your favorite sweaters or even a pair of your favorite shoes. Steve Madden has a Hamlit Wedge Sneaker that is very urban and it gives a modern metal edge with studs going around the center. This particular show can be worn while you are running errands, lunch with the girls or even on a nice date night. I would wear the shoe with some black leather leggings or some black skinnes. You can purchase the shoe at www.Nordstrom.com for $129.00. 

You said that you can’t show a little bit of skin this spring. Bare Midriffs is a spring trend that will have all eyes on you. This particular trend was all over the runway this year and also last year. For this particular trend you can pair a cropped top with a nice pencil skirt that hits just below the knee or you can pair it with a pair of skinnes. Top Shop has a red Petite Bandage Pintuck Crop Top that is very sexy, the color red shows a great amount of sex appeal and the color is very perfect for a summer soiree. With this piece you can pair a knee length pencil skirt for a more conservative look. This top can be purchased at www.topshop.com for $45.00. 

All seasons will have different trends; spring 13 will be a season that will be a memorable just because the trends this year are phenomenal. Even though these are just trends remember that these trends will fade away but your personal style will remain forever.
