Kristin's Top 5 Spring Trends of 2013!!!
We did our top 5 fall trends last season so it was only right to put in our two cents about the spring season trends. I always get excited when the season changes for many reasons but one reason is a change of wardrobe. Finally it's time to put away our coats, winter boots and shed some clothing. Although many of the fall/winter fabrics are being revisited in the current season and can remain in our closets. I am excited about fur for spring and leather, which seems to make sense in this ever changing weather. It's already been a spring filled with a mix of warm, rainy and winter like days. I think the trends for this season will keep us
prepared for anything. Here are my top five.
5. Cutouts
Cutouts surfaced on many runways. Some of my favorite cutout looks were found in the spring collections of Gucci, Sass & Bide, Versace, Saint Laurent and Alexander Wang. Although, I am not certain I will be really embracing this trend, I love to at least look.

4. Monochromatic Brights
Brights worn monochromatic were seen on the runways of designers and houses such as Gucci, Stella McCartney and Etro. I love the idea of this because it can make a short person like myself seem taller and thinner. I am also a huge fan of bright color.

3. Fringe
I love decorative details like fringe! It is so much fun. It reminds me of the 1920's flapper or 80's rocker. Some of my favorite fringe pieces were seen on the runways of Nina Ricci, Versace and Tory Burch.

2. Leather
I really love this trend! It is my number two because it is a change for the warmer seasons and easy to incorporate even for an avid thrift shopper. I found pieces for my sister and myself for the spring season for under $20 on half off Wednesday. I can't wait to wear my dress that is very similar to the Reem Acra dress below. Some of the other designers and houses that showed leather on the runway were Fendi, Loewe, Balmain and Hermes.

1. Florals
The florals are my favorite this year. I have been collecting pieces the last couple months. I have to admit I was not a fan of the florals until a year ago. I always felt floral patterns were too girly and never wanted to wear them. Now I love to mix the pattern with other prints and add elements to the print to toughen it up. Florals were seen on the runways of Ralph Lauren, Moschino, Chanel, Prada and Dolce & Gabbana.
