Spring Trend: More Is More

This season bold colors, and prints that pop are trending.  No one is more colorful than the iconic Iris Apfel, and she actually has coined the phrase, "more is more." Vogue states: "When in doubt, add another bright color or maximalist print to a look—it will be a conversation starter at the season’s parties." I call this fun fashion. Scroll down to see what I found for us.

In "Pop Multi" this top is what the season is all about. It's done in 100% cotton, making it a spring and summer staple.

Power Pants: One of Spring's Best Fashion Trends

There are so many new trends for Spring.  My favorite is the new Wide Leg Pant. If you are going to buy just one pair of pants this Spring, make it wide. Vogue is calling them the "Power Pant." It is a powerful look when paired with a jacket. A wide pant makes a statement that a skinny pant could never make. They have a "swoosh factor," that allows one to look and feel fabulous! Here's 14 styles to try on for size.

 These pants pack a powerful punch! Everything about them are a WOW.
