Blooming Pastels!

The birds are singing and the sun is peeking through the clouds.  You know what that means... spring is here!  But more importantly it means pastel maxi dresses, chiffon floral skirts, tie dye and eyelet tops are in the air.  All of the gorgeous obsessions that grace the pages of every fashion magazine.  

This season is filled with the most beautiful pieces from Dolce and Gabbana laser cut dresses to Louis Vuitton eyelet peter pan collars.  Even though we'd die to have Carrie Bradshaw's closet for a day, we can't always attain the designer's collections.  But we can still use it as inspiration to create our own fabulous urban runway looks.

That's why WhoWhatWear's style stalker "Jessica Stein" is my favorite inspire and introduction to Spring 2012.  Once I saw this photo displaying all of her looks I was smitten.  This is the first time in a while that every single outfit took my breath away and made me giddy with excitement for the sun to come out!

I encourage everyone to take fashion risks this season and do something you wouldn't normally do.  Wear pastel on pastel or a leather biker jacket with a sweet floral dress.  For example, my fashion risk was to wear a bright red/orange see through skirt with a mini skirt underneath and pairing it with a tan leather belt and mint cropped tank.  Who knows, you may end up being someone else's inspire for taking such a fantastic risk!

The best part is that you don't have to buy all new things.  You can use articles currently in your closet and purchase one great item like a statement skirt dressed with a basic white tee like Jessica Stein.  And remember that accessories will always change your look from day to night.  Have fun with it and show off your spring diva.

With Love,
