Welcome back, Fashion Lovers!
Hopefully you all had a fantastic Valentine’s day spent with your sweetie, but we’re glad you’ve come back to us!
Last time, I brought you a couple of the latest fashion trends for Spring 2012 and I’m back to bring you a few more. I will say that I’m purposefully bringing you small doses of trends because there are so many! Furthermore, a lot of the trends tend to overlap. For example, last time I mentioned that pastels AND neons are popular this season; this also encompasses the huge craze about yellow! So, we’re taking small bites out of the fashion apple.
- Tropical Floral Fiesta! -
The category sounds silly, but it’s so true! This season, along with princess chic, women are invited to indulge in their bold side. There are a lot of floral patterns floating around the runways; both bold, tropical prints as well as soft, feminine prints. Try whichever one appeals to your senses! K2 completely endorses both; if you are more feminine and soft, go with a pretty pastel print of floral, or go with something with bold, tropical colors if you are feeling more adventurous! Now, I know that floral prints can often remind us of our grandmother’s couches; but I promise you that there are some GORGEOUS prints for all tastes.

- White -
Okay, so this trend may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but white is back in a big way. For the past few seasons, white has been an accent color. This season, white is a new and hip all-over look. White from head to toe is beautiful for spring because it brings out brightness. We got weighed down by darker colors for winter and spring is all about bringing back brightness. I can completely understand women who shy away from this trend because white is extremely high maintenance. However, I suggest that every woman find a great white top and some white pants or capris. Even if this is an outfit that you wear once, the pieces broken apart will be vital to your average wardrobe. One more FYI: Many women avoid white because they feel like it is the opposite of slimming black. THIS IS NOT TRUE! White can be just as slimming as black, if it is tailored well.

- Earrings -
All right, ladies. Every woman adores her accessories, however many she chooses to wear. This season, earrings are back in a big way. Previous seasons have been all about bold and chunky pieces for neckwear and bracelets or gigantic cocktail rings. Nothing has really been mentioned about earrings! This season, the emphasis is on the ears. Neckwear, bracelets, and rings are extremely minimalist (although, I’m always a fan of a huge cocktail ring) and earrings are pushing through. So, invest in that eccentric pair of earrings that you don’t know what you’ll wear with them! I promise you that you will find something and get noticed for your bold choices.
