Okay, ladies…
Consider this the Cliff’s Notes of Spring Fashion.
You can either watch (above) or read (below)… or both!
This is a long blog, but stick with me.
I promise it will help guide you this spring… and hopefully keep you, “in the know!”
Thank you! Erin xo
__________
1) FRINGE
Fringed shoes, bags, jackets, skirts and bib necklaces.
Not just for cowgirls, today’s fringed pieces are modern and minimal.

2) SUMMER SUEDE
Traditionally reserved for fall, spicy colors like paprika and cinnamon are IN for spring.
This gorgeous bag (above) by Saint Laurent is suede, which again, you would traditionally think of for fall.
This spring… expect to see LOTS of suede in all colors, even pastels!

3) ALL WEATHER LEATHER
Much like suede, you typically think of leather for the “fall” season.
Not this spring…
You will notice leather skirts, tops and jackets in beautiful spring colors like pale pink (above).

You knew that eventually it was going to swing back around.
After YEARS of skinny jeans….
the 70’s-inspired flared jeans and wide leg trousers are BACK.
And, I for one am SOOOOO excited!!

Hi Erin,
Thank you so much for getting back to me. Those pants are EXACTLY what I’m looking for!! High rise & nicely flared. The only problem is that pre order doesn’t begin until June 19th, and I need them for a trip to Scotland (my original home), leaving on June 21st!!! AARRHH!!!! Maybe I’ll find something coming up for summer from Banana Republic or J Crew? Thanks for trying 🙂
It looks like no pre-order through Nordstrom – http://rstyle.me/n/y6hbv58an
Watched the video,commented on youtube, then ordered the bag with fringes!! i would love to find flared white pants, petite, that are quite flowy. Any suggestions?
Have you looked at JBrand or Frame?

Hi Janice… I’m so sorry, I thought I responded to this. I am loving JBrand “Love Story” flares and Frame high-rise flares – http://rstyle.me/~4SVhh
I haven’t tried these yet, but I love FRAME and these are on my wish list! xoxo
Hi Janice… I really am loving FRAME denim. I haven’t tried this specific pair, but they are on my wish list – HIGH-rise, flared, white… http://rstyle.me/~4SVhh

Jennifer… SO sorry for the delay. I switched my ‘commenting’ system and I thought I responded, but it never went through. I did a blog about that entire look – http://busbeestyle.com/2015/01/26/stone-wash-jeans/
