Flowers and Petals

Spring is upon us as the flowers are starting to wake from their months long slumber and the temperatures are slowly rising. We begin to slide our fall's must-haves into the depths of our closets or shove them into unsuspecting boxes. But before we completely eliminate what we may need later, let's look at the fashion forecast for spring. Pinks, Florals, Ruffles and Lace are all popping up for this spring, bringing out our feminine side.


1. Ruffled Cardigans - While its a great idea to put away the fur vests, heavy coats, and cable knit sweaters, you should consider leaving out your cardigans. Spring's latest rendition has ruffles and comes in a variety of ice cream reminiscent colors. (Victoria's Secret cardigan)



2. Floral Dresses - Cable knits and much heavier dresses should go back in the closet as well. Floral dresses are popping up every where and the versatility of a floral dress will last through all seasons, its just about finding the right one for you. The goal should be to get one in a smaller pattern, that way it will be able to transition once the colder months hit again. (Charlotte Russe dress)



3. Lace - Leather is out but lace is in. Ultra feminine, lace is a beautiful addition to your wardrobe and it is also a versatile piece. You could even toughen it up by adding a leather jacket for an evening out during the later winter months. (Forever21 Ball lace top)




4. Mini Skirts - The one thing that will never go out of style but still keeps on getting shorter. Add ruffles like on this Charlotte Russe skirt to kill two styles with one stone. If you don't know what to look for, a basic a-line skirt in a basic pattern will work with pretty much everything you already have. Also don't be afraid to try other in-style skirt lengths like the maxi skirt and the new midi-skirt.




Hope you have an amazing spring and don't be afraid to try anything you haven't already. Fashion is about adventure....


Stay Fabulous,

Disastrous Beauty
