Spring Fashion 2013 Spoiler Alert

I have to admit, I feel a little conflicted this time of year.  Just as my excitement grows for fall and I warm up to the idea of sweaters and winter coats, fashion designers from around the globe preview their spring collections in New York.  Part of me wants to say, “No, no … it’s too early, I want to enjoy fall” (fully understanding that buyers always work six months in advance), and the other part of me says, ” Ooo, maybe just a peak … surely a little peak wouldn’t disturb my fall psyche too much”.  Well, considering I usually read the end of the book first and the spoilers for the next week and the week after for my favorite daytime serial, you can guess which part of me won. Therefore, without trying to take anything away from the splendor of fall, here is a little peak at what is to come into our world of fashion in Spring 2013.

Spring Fashion Trends 2012

Maybe it’s the chirping birds or the gentle rain, but regardless of what the calendar says there is definitely a feeling of spring in the air.  Although this season’s trends are bold and flirtatious, the classic woman knows that simplicity is the rule to live by.  Never attempt to combine all of the trends into one look, but rather take an element like an orange scarf and pair it with a skirt and blouse or dangle gold metallic bracelets from your wrists while wearing jeans.  Think in terms of adding one trending accent to an outfit you already have and, voila, you’ll make the latest trends your very own.

1.  Bold Prints


2.  Orange and Tangerine

3.  Metallics

4. Gold and Khaki

5.  Peplum accents

6.  Polka Dots
