lilly, lilly, and more lilly

Nothing says spring or summer quite like a bright floral print and what shows off that print better than a Lilly Pulitzer piece? It all started when Lilly worked at an orange juice stand in Florida, she noticed that squeezing all those oranges makes a mess all over your clothes! So what did she do? She make her own bright pieces to wear to work that would hide those stands well and the rest is history!

Modern Floral

Staying on the topic of spring trends, another huge one this year is the modern floral print. The classic floral print is very delicate and girly but the modern floral print is much more harsh and edgy. To keep that look, make sure to pair it with accessories that won't soften the look. We don't want to take away the edge from the look! This print can be found on almost any garment.
If found on a maxi dress, keep things simple and either pair the maxi with a long necklace or simply a few cuffs and bangles.
If on a blouse, tuck this blouse into solid colored shorts and pair with a boot of some sort or a gladiator type sandal.
If the print is on a pair of trousers, for extra edge add on a similar blouse with an almost identical pattern and wear that look with a few necklaces. Or opt for a solid colored blouse in a similar color found on the pant.
There are lots of ways to wear this awesome trend this spring. Not to mention there's no better way than coming into spring with a little kick in your wardrobe.

black and white with a pop of color

There's nothing more simple yet more appealing than a black and white coordinated outfit. The two colors can be put together effortlessly, but once combined it seems to make your entire outfit very structured and fashion-forward. If you're having doubts about bringing out those black and white prints and dresses from your closet on a spring night out these next couple of months, doubt no more! It's been approved countless times on the runway this year during fashion week. If you're the type that still needs that hint of bold color peeking through somewhere in your attire, finish off your look with a bright earring, shoe, or handbag. If you want to keep it neutral, no better way than pairing some gold bracelets and bangles with a chunky watch.
