I happen to love warmer weather. I love my spring/summer wardrobe so much more than my fall/winter wardrobe. I get so excited to see the spring new arrivals in store and online because it’s the beginning of my favorite shopping season.

So what stylish trends will you see this spring? Jumpsuits and rompers are everywhere. Floral and pastels are always hot in spring. I’ve seen a lot of attention to detail…. ruffles, bows, peplum, ties, buttons, ect. The details can make a big difference so notice the details in the items you favor. Do you prefer ruffles on top or on bottom? Do you like wide leg or bell sleeve? Do you like tight fitting or loose and flowy? All these choices you make in your wardrobe (whether you realize it or not) are most likely based on your body type and your personal preference for what you think looks good on you. By paying attention to your choices, you can learn a lot about your own shopping habits and personal style.

Lately I’ve been checking out items at Madewell. The have a great twist on the classic wardrobe that is a little trendy mixed with tomboy. It’s the mix that makes it unique. This spring they’ve done a great job of mixing the romantic spring trends with a little edge. If you’re looking for something a little different this spring but still very much on trend, stop by Madewell and pay attention to the details.

Have you found your romper yet?

Did you jump on the romper trend this year? I hesitated last year. I just wasn't sure that it was for me. I ended up buying a beach cover up that was a black strapless romper. I ended up using it quite often. It was so easy as a throw on piece and looked really cute! This year I purchased a second beach romper in a terry cloth material ... and an everyday romper! It's black with a little detail. Perfect for a BBQ or trip to the playground... dress it up or down, it works! I love a versatile piece and the romper fits that description perfectly.

The romper offers a simple solution to your wardrobe. It's a one piece outfit that puts the little bit of trendy into your wardrobe you've been looking for. It flatters almost every body type and can be found in a variety of styles, fabrics and colors. Clients often ask me how they can add edge or the latest trends to their wardrobe. The romper offers an easy solution to both this summer. At this point in the season, many of these styles are also on sale!
