It’s almost hard to believe we made it through another cold northeast winter.   While we still may feel some chills in the air we are turning up the heat with our new blossoming wardrobes.  This season we are invited to swoon over all forms of self-expression and eclectic staples.  Rejoice in some no fuss ensembles and usher in fresh trends changing glamour and elegance to bring out your most feminine self.
     Some shoulder baring news.  It’s never been easier to show yours off.  Thanks to the importance of the fresh batch of shoulder baring tops brought to us this season.  For those who prefer baring less, a peek a boo shoulder is just fine. If you’re heading to the party, full cuts off the shoulders and open back are all on point.  Shoulders are it!  It’s a touch of whimsy but you breeze in making a charming first impression.  Just remember to keep your bottom half simple.
    Going up? High-rise is on the move.  Whether you’re in high-rise jeans, retro faded blue wash denim or a pair of billowy bottoms.  Nautical colors of reds and navy’s are where it’s at.  Stress on the navy.  It’s a fresh take for spring.  When wearing a jean or pant with an unconstructed bottom (and a high waist of course) pair with a short and structured boxy silhouette.  A crisp cotton crop is another perfect choice.  This is an equal equation that is a prefect-proportioned combo.  Highlighting your waist and lengthens your legs.  This is a fresh look that can shift from work to weekends.
     Still keeping the mood airy, by choosing an easy flowing feminine jumpsuit.  A barely back, sleeveless, even off the shoulder is making its splash on the jumpsuit.  This one piece is rivaling the little black dress.  Show some unexpected skin and master the subtle state of romance and a spring awakening.  The fluidity of the jumpsuit gives a carefree sense of beauty.  Remember feminine.  This is easy and not complicated; just let the jumpsuit do all the work.
      Another very feminine look is the soft long fluid tunic.  We are used to seeing the tunic appear above the knee but now the hem is way below the knee.  Beautiful high side slits with ease and an effortless feel.  Prints or floral and silks are dominating the long tunic.  Feel free to flirt with the shape shifting slip dress.  Asymmetrical hems keep lounge inspired gowns from looking too much like lingerie.  Think breezy soft airy and carefree.
     A few key pieces to keep the fluid spring season light and sweet.  A laissez-faire approach with bare shoulders, high waisted flouncy pants, easy jumpsuits or soft long side slit tunics are a must to a modern fresh take on celebrating spring 2016!
