In a struggle to think of some new posts I could do to wrap up my time here in English 214, I decided to make my last few posts about something I am very passionate about in the beauty/makeup world, that moves aside from animal testing. Spring is my favorite season for fashion, accessories, nail polish colors, and different makeup items.These looks are being worn by models on the runway, celebrities, and people walking down the streets! Today, I was in the mood to talk about some cute styles that I have seen lately, which I believe are going to be the upcoming fashion trends of Spring/Summer 2012.
For those of you who do not have a Tumblr account, Tumblr is a website based on pictures where you can create your own page and re-blog or post whatever kinds of pictures you would like. My page consists of pictures of fashion trends, makeup, nail polish colors, and the occasional "hot" guy. One of my favorite things to do when I am bored is to look at cute outfit ideas on the site, and try to see what will be popular for the upcoming seasons.
This picture to the left is a great example of a spring/summer trend, that is becoming quite popular this year. There are many different aspects to this outfit, so I will break it down. First off, the dress: the minty green color is very popular this year because it is very pastel like and super springy! Something relatively new to this year, is the introduction of the Hi-Lo hem line. As you can see, the front of the dress is just above the knees, while the back of the dress falls just below the knees. It's a new trend that I've been loving. Next is the belt; accentuating the thinest part of the waist (empire waist) is very slimming to any figure. Lastly the accessories, the adorable white Chanel purse along with the white wedges. The subtle pop of white makes the dress stand out, and makes the entire look appear soft and springy!
Here to the right, we have another upcoming trend: blazers! I wanted to specifically focus on the colorful blazers because I have been seeing more and more pinks, blues, mint greens and other cute colors for the spring time. This look is ideal for an important lunch date, a work outfit, or just if you want to look put together and fashionable. Since the pop of color is the main focus of this outfit, the top worn under the blazer is something like a regular white tank. Since there is no pattern on top, it is necessary to add the stripes for the high-waisted skirt. The outfit is accessorized with some cute bracelets and a beautiful chain-link necklace that matches the gold buttons on the blazer. This is such a great look, that appears to have taken hours to put together, but in reality this outfit would be easy for anyone to throw on this spring and summer.
Another trend that has been all over tumblr pages and magazines lately is the ombre trend. This can be seen in all different styles such as hair, nails and clothing items. Here to the left, is a dress printed with two different colors that effortlessly blend in to one, and then back out into the original color. This is seen on many different types of clothes, from shirts to pants, and can be done with many different colors. The ombre trend is something that will continue to be worn by many people this spring and summer because of it's youthful and colorful simplicity. The trend is being worn by runway models and is currently being sold at every store from Nordstrom to Forever 21. As the style becomes more popular, people are even dying their hair with different colors at the tips, called "dip-dying", which creates the ombre affect on the ends of the hair.
Lastly, something that has been all over Tumblr recently is white lace. In this look to the right, we see the focus of the outfit is the white lacy shorts, paired with a loose-fitting white button down top. This look is perfect for a relaxed spring/summer day or night when you don't need to be super dressed up, but want to look cute and wear something trendy. As for accessories, she is holding a zebra striped clutch, another thing that has been becoming a fashion trend over the last year, and a couple of bracelets or a watch. There is no need for flashy jewelry with this outfit if you want to keep it simple, so she is wearing a little necklace for just a hint of gold.
I hope this post gives you some cute ideas for outfits you might want to keep an eye out for this spring and summer!
Cheers,
