Spring Trends with Ageless Style

Ageless Style is a monthly style challenge and link up for women of all ages. Each month we pick a different theme and style an outfit based on that theme. This month's theme is "Spring Trends" and was picked by Bo!

Well it's that time of year again; when we show off our spring fashion when it's still winter outside in Wisconsin. Every year Ageless Style does a spring fashion post, and every year I have to photograph inside because it's too cold outside. We are a group from all over the United States and Canada so some of us are definitely experiencing warmer weather, but not this gal 😢. In fact, on the exact day I did this photo shoot, we had a Historic Snowstorm of 21 inches! The last time it snowed that much at one time was 1976. My poor husband and son had to shovel our very long driveway by hand as we do not own any plows or snowblowers. We never felt we needed them before and all the professional plowers were busy for days. It took them all day to shovel us out, and they were sore, but they did it!

But the good news is spring will arrive this weekend as we are supposed to have temperatures in the 70's, but the bad news is with all this snow I'm worried about flooding or a complete mud bath now 😟.

Anyway, onto Spring Fashion! Warmer days will get here soon!

Bo researched the new Spring Trends and this was what she discovered:

Lace & satin
Fringe
Colors: blush pink, buttery yellow, red,  sage, shades of  blue & white
Peplum
Drop waist skirts
Polka dots
Silk scarves 
Bright color blocking 
Oversized bags
Black sunglasses
Asymmetrical looks

Now, with most fashion these days, there was nothing "new" on the list. I've been realizing more and more that there isn't anything new in fashion any year, it's more "what's trending" that season. I was actually very happy to see silk scarves on that list because I am a scarf girl. The neck tie especially is trending, which is just a little scarf tied around your neck like jewelry. These were really in-style back in 2015-2018 and I'm thrilled to see them again. I love wearing scarves in the spring because they provide that extra warmth I need on our chilly spring days. I also feel they really elevate an outfit.

I also picked another item off of Bo's list: "shades of blue". I bought these pants last year at THE DOLLAR STORE. Yes, you heard me right, The Dollar Store. I thought they were such a pretty shade of blue and were so comfy. I ended up wearing them for Easter but never showed them on my blog before until now. Originally they came with a built-in top but I have such a long torso, they didn't fit. So I cut the top off, and wore them as pants instead!

I paired my blue pants with a white linen top from TJMaxx and white sandals. I added the pink necktie to bring more color into the outfit and to also coordinate with the blue pants as the scarf has shades of blue in it too.

To style a necktie, you simply fold it in half to form a triangle then roll it up starting at the pointy end. Then just tie it to your neck with a double knot. Easy peasy!
