On the second Monday of every month a group of style bloggers and I pick a theme, style an outfit based on that theme, and then do a link up together where you can join too! This month's theme is "Spring Trends".
This month Nina challenged us to choose from five spring trends this season: 1. Pleats, 2. Bright Colors, 3. Halter Neckline, 4. Statement Suits, 5. Cut Outs (and a couple of ladies picked their own spring trend). I really wanted to show a halter dress, but we are experiencing cold temperatures in Wisconsin so I chose "Bright Colors".
The Pantone Color of the year is "Periwinkle" but as usual with their color picks I'm not seeing it in the stores or on people. I always feel whatever color Pantone picks, I never see it trending till 1-3 years later. It must have something to do with manufacturing I'm sure. But the color I am seeing everywhere is yellow! People seem to love this happy, bright color!
I found this cute and comfy sweatshirt on clearance for $7.00 at Walmart. I thought it would be perfect for these cool spring temperatures we've been experiencing in Wisconsin.
I styled my spring sweatshirt with black embroidered jeans. The floral embroidery on the jeans is also perfect for welcoming spring
I love to wear casual, comfy clothes yet add some accessories to elevate the look so it doesn't look like I'm just chilling at home. One way I do this is by wearing jewelry. For this look I wore a gold bracelet, a colorful beaded necklace, and a pair of drop earrings.
Footwear can also change a look from casual to dressy. If I would have worn sneakers with this outfit, it would have been a lot more casual. Instead, I wore pointy toe burgundy flats. The flats are still comfy, but dressy at the same time.
And now lets see what the rest of the ladies in the group are wearing and be sure to link up your outfits with us below too!
Shelbee
Shelbee - Shelbee on the Edge - Bra tops and bell bottoms are two trends together that appeal to my hippie soul. I found these amazing embroidered bell bottoms and the coordinating fringe cardigan at Indigo Sun, a funky little bohemian boutique we visited in Asheville on my recent road trip adventure. And now I am officially ready for festival season!
Suzanne
Suzanne - Ask Suzanne Bell - Secured at the back of the neck, a halter style dress or top highlights your shoulders and is an incredibly flattering silhouette, yet many of us shy away from this style due to not knowing what type of bra or support works with this style dress/top. Fortunately, the halter is my all-time favorite silhouette, and I’ve got you covered underneath with styling solutions + bras and bralettes, on the blog…
Lucy
Lucy - Lucy Bertoldi.com Bright colours make my heart sing and I’m in complete dopamine styling mode when I see the Spring sunshine. Is it just me or are other Northern girls itching to pull out the sandals (even if only for a photo moment)?
Nicole
Nicole - High Latitude Style - The trend to invest in this year is fringes if your personal style is Bohemian or Rock’n Roll. This is due to fringes being a perennial trend. Even if your personal style is not one of the two, a fringe clutch may be worth it when your most frequent travel destination is a beach resort. It’s perfect with a beach dress or resort style.
Julie
Julie - Fashion Trends and Friends and Instagram FashionTandF - The current spring 2022 trends include: pleats, bright colors, halter neckline, statement suits or cutouts. Additionally, feathers and wearing bras as a top are trending! You know my mantra: Wear what you love or what speaks to you and you'll always look great! Can you guess which of these appeal to me the most? Hop over to my blog to see if you guessed correctly!
Nancy - Nancy’s Fashion Style - It has to be tiered dresses. I already bought last year several and I am still very much in love with this design. In fact I already ordered a few more! These two are my favourites from last year. I actually like it better to wear them without a belt, but these two are very bulky. They would have been perfect if there were pockets in it. I will show my latests tiered dresses soon on the blog!
And Me!
Amy - Amy’s Creative Pursuits - As a Wisconsin Gal, every spring we have to deal with frigid temperatures, leaving me in quite the conundrum as I want to wear spring clothes but I can’t. How do I solve the problem? By wearing bright colors in warm winter fabrics.
Have a Great Day! Amy
