Red for Spring? Yes, please!!!

When I think about Spring, I always think of soft pastels, bows and ruffles. While I love all of these things, I also love to vamp it up too. I was thinking back to last Spring and my favorite dress. It was a red cotton tube top dress that I bought from F21. When ever I would go out wearing that, I would get stopped all the time by women asking where I got this dress. The dress wasn't special at all, it stood out because it was red. What do you guys think? Do you stay away from red in the Spring or do you still rock it? Let me know! Here are my faves that I saw today:

In the nude....

Nude tones are pretty much a staple in Spring and Summer fashion and I have taken a greater interest in them this time around. Being that I'm fair skinned, I felt that they would wash me out the same way that white does but I was wrong and am here to admit it. I tried on a pair just like these on the other day:

Nine West Consuela $89
I must say, not only was the height and the style perfect, I thought the nude color was wonderful on. It didn't wash me out and it's definitely a look I'm going to be doing more often. So here are a few pieces that I'm looking at:

Nine West Clio Shopper $99

Aldo Whitsey $110

Aldo Duhaime bracelet $12

F21 Sequin Racer Back Tunic Tank $19.80

Guess Lliona $120

Old Navy Flutter sleeve dress $29.50

Torrid Oat ruffle tank top $38

Florals.....

Spring is right at our fingertips and I am so excited. I only have a few floral pieces because in the past, it was hard to find floral pieces that weren't cheesy. I have been so impressed with floral designs this year though, I have promised myself that I'd buy at least two pieces this year. The only thing I wasn't able to find was a cute bag :( So here we go, let me know what you think:

Torrid Black pink floral pixelated print top $29.98

Faith21 Water floral sublimation top $17.80

Faith21 Floral sequin tunic $17.80

Dorothy Perkins Summer floral skirt 22GBP

Dorothy Perkins Jade floral pumps 18GBP (they're called pumps instead of flats on the site)

Dorothy Perkins Multi bouquet floral playsuit 35GBP

Dorothy Perkins Floral print alice headbands 4GBP

F21 Garden field shell earrings $3.80

Romper Love...

I am so in love with rompers this year, it's ridiculous. I bought two last year and have been waiting for Spring so I could wear them again and buy more. I love to pair them with sandals and heels and I really love how versatile they can be. So here are my romper picks for the day:

Torrid Black tropical birds tube romper $42

Torrid Black belted sleeveless romper $34.98

Old Navy Women's plus ruffled romper cover-ups $19.50

Topshop.com Stripe bandeau playsuit 28GBP (this one's my favorite)

Dorothy Perkins Black ruffle playsuit 18GBP

Oh, and I almost forgot: yesterday I was on Facebook and came across a customer and FB friend's picture of herself in the button dress from my store. I asked her if I could share it and she was nice enough to let me so I just wanted to share:

Maxi Dresses.....

So two years ago, I decided to try out selling maxi dresses and they sold like crazy. Last year, I thought the trend may have died but decided to give it a try again and they flew off the racks again. So this year, I was thinking that maxi dresses would surely be dead but yet again, they're selling. I even read that rompers were replacing the maxi dresses in People but I think they're wrong about this one.
I scoured the internet for hours this morning to find cool maxi dresses and let me tell you, I had a really hard time finding ones that struck me. And out of the better ones, it was also hard to find maxis that were affordable. What do you girls think? Is the maxi dress dead or will you still rock them? Here are my picks:

Kiyonna Hailey chiffon maxi dress $138

Torrid purple ruched-bodice tube maxi dress $42.98

Monif C "Sunner" Colorblock maxi dress $235

Topshop.com Pin tuck and lace maxi dress 75GBP
