Spring Flings: Denim, Trenches and Scarves
Any fashion forward girl wants to stay on top of the current season’s trends which this year include a broad range of styles including chunky denim sandals, paisley scarves, zipper skirts, and boyfriend blazers. The mix is eclectic this year, but it also includes the spring season mainstays like the trench, aviator sunglasses, canvas flats, check and plaid patterns, and the one I am particularly tickled pink by is the return of denim jackets! Finding just the right denim jacket can be challenging, being picky is best. I’ve held out on this one, and I finally found the perfect fitting Levi’s denim jacket with just a bit of lycra in it so it stretches on the arms. I’ve broken it in like a good pair of boots and now I admit I am a bit sad when I take it off at the end of the night. Finding cute trench coats seems to be a breeze these days. Old Navy has a super cute khaki belted trench for only $49.50.
Denim Sandals? Who would’ve thought those would be a trend for this spring. They are a total retro throwback, but I dig it…hopefully you will too. Look for ones that have chunkier heels, and maybe some sort of ankle strap. Paint your toenails bright red, and rock it out.
Denim Chunky Heels: $39.99
I can appreciate paisley patterns, but they can be difficult to find on clothing unless you are scouring the racks at a thrift or vintage shop, this is because it’s an old fashioned pattern and look. Something your mother may cringe at hearing if you were to ask her. The scarf I found isn’t quite paisley, but its pretty darn close and I actually like it a bit more. I’m predicting florals on scarves are going to come back as well which makes me happy since they will be a fresh change from the keffiyahs which have been trendy for like two years now.
Hersey Shibori Scarf: $34
Since I’ve had such a wonderful last few weeks with my Levi’s denim jacket find, I thought I’d see If I could dig up one for ya’ll. Levi’s has some great stuff and the jackets are no exception. I wasn’t too keen on the darker denim ones they have right now but this white re-issued Trucker Jacket looks like it would fit quite well. Made of 99% cotton and 1% lycra, the Trucker Jacket is cropped at the waist and slimmed down to fit curves. It never hurts to keep looking for an actual blue denim jacket, but this white one is fresh for spring and should get you through the season. Perfect for throwing on over dresses and tanks.
