you're welcome

Since I work a retail job, I am in the know for all the spring fashions. I'm pretty excited about Spring 2010. I will share with my dear readers so you too can be trendy.

Think nautical. Navy and white, with some red and yellow mixed in. A little khaki, too. Basics that everyone has (recession, anyone?) can become insta-trendy with some cute jewelry and a belt and maybe a new sweater or two.
50's dresses. I am so excited about this one. I love dresses, and I am glad that ladies are being encouraged to dress like ladies instead of slouches.

And what to wear with your 50's inspired dress? Nude-colored pumps. No, no, no, don't go raid your grandmother's closet. Get something like these:
Or these:

I am not seeing anything I am loving for this trend yet, but I love the concept: Teal with gold accessories/embellishments. I am secretly happy that gold is coming back. I think gold can be pretty (oh but it can be tacky) when worn right. This is also what I like to refer to as a now and later dress: Wear it now with a sweater and boots, then when it warms up just throw it on with some cute sandals.
Also be on the lookout for bright colored flats. I bought some red patent flats last weekend, and I am wanting to buy some yellow suede flats soon. Again, think 50s inspired: floral, fitting, femme. I am really excited to wear some of these spring fashions! Come on, warmer weather! You are welcome for my inside expert fashion advice.
