Spring trends: Knee highs?
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen knee highs in regular circulation.
My mom used to have a bunch balled up in her drawer. She’d pull them out when she had the occasion to wear “slacks.”
I’ve spotted elderly women wearing knee highs with dresses or skirts as a hosiery substitute. Invariably they’ll bend over or heaven-forbid, sit down revealing reinforced elastic for all to see.
Now, however, that seems to be the point.
Last year when Jena Malone traipsed the red carpet in granny-chic, the response was shock and dismay. Yet this year on the Marni runway, knee highs were worn like knee socks. Flimsy, banded knee socks.
While I am a lover of knee socks, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get over the Grandma hurdle.
Anyone planning on sporting knee highs this spring?
Spring trends: Floral tops
After a winter full of solid basics, I’m looking forward to adding a few feminine, floaty pieces into my rotation. A few I’m liking:
1.) Joie Leanne Blouse, $218
2.) Ditsy Floral Top, $78
3.) Angie Floral Chiffon Top, $29.50
4.) Dress Bouquet, $79.90
5.) Floral Print Top, $49
6.) Lucca Couture Floral Chiffon Top, $58
Spring trends: Coral
Something about this spring is making want a slightly more orange-y version of pink. I’ve already purchased some Revlon Colorstay lip color in “Constantly Coral.”
Here’s some other accents I’m perusing:
1.) Super Shimmer Lip Gloss in Summer Crush, $10
2.) Coralista Blush, $28
3.) Stila SPF 20 Shine Lip Color in Sheer Coral, $18
4.) Contour Posts, $24
Spring trends: Military
I spent most of the winter wearing brown and grey baggy sweaters, baggy pants, and big boots.
From the look of it, muted colors and baggy military garb will also be a part of spring fashion. Here are a few items I like:
1.) Killer Queen Jumpsuit, $228
2.) Caitlyn Solid Shirt, $39.50
3.) Leopardito Bag, $428
4.) Jeep Military Pin, $8
5.) Boutique 9 Elation Boot, $198
6.) Melody Trench, $148
7.) Golden Rope Headband, $58
8.) All Star Outsider Boot, $84
