ReDress’ Favorite Things…Spring ’15

It’s that time of year, where all we can think about is what we’ll be wearing all spring and summer long!  We’ve rounded up our favorite things – what we hope will be in constant rotation for the next few months.

 

When we’re looking to add to our wardrobes, it’s helpful for us to have a plan as to what we want to buy.  So first we’ll start with our closets and ask ourselves the following questions:

1.  What is missing?  Are there any trends that we love that we don’t have yet?

2.  What needs updated?  Any classics that have become worn and could use replacing?

3.  What did we love wearing last year?  Anything we wish we had more of?

 

Then we’ll shop around in person and online to see if we can find items to fill in the categories we’ve come up with.  But before we buy, we make sure that:

1.  It is versatile (easily dressed up or down!)

2.  It goes with more than one thing in our closet – no impulse buys here, we want to wear our clothes!

3.  We love it!

 

We go through all of these questions *and more* with you during our Closet Clean-Up…so if you need some help (or a new opinion/eye looking for you!), let us know and we’ll get you on our schedule!

SO…here is what we have found that we love and will wear the most this spring and summer!

 

Cara’s Favorite Things:

I’m going for classic comfort with some femininity this spring and summer.  Pieces that are light and airy – pastels, lace, crochet, lots of white…and anything that is versatile and effortless.  I’ll play up my accessories and incorporate trends like tassels, fringe, and pom poms in statement pieces.  I’m envisioning long summer days, and these pieces will easily take me from the pool to drinks on the patio!

Angela’s Favorite Things:

I’m loving the boho-chic vibe of all of the 70’s inspired pieces with swingy silhouettes, large floral prints, and fringe details mixed with a little metallic glam. Distressed denim is a go-to mixed with super feminine flowy tops. Can’t forget a great outerwear piece for rainy spring days!

Spring Shoes & Accessories Report

We’ve highlighted Spring’s biggest and best trends over the last month, but we can’t forget our favorite (and what we consider most important) category….shoes and accessories!  As we often see in fashion, accessories tend embody the biggest trends of the season, and are a great way to try new looks in small doses.  See how 70’s inspired, Tribal, Florals and Sporty make their statement in accessories…

SHOES

Tribal  ::  70’s inspired  ::  Fringe & Tassels  ::  Gladiators  ::  Laces & Ties

Pumps have feminine ankle straps, and can be found in pretty pastels and statement prints of the season.  The t-strap shape is ultra feminine and a nod to vintage.  The pointy toe flat continues to impress.

 The Sporty trend remains strong, with vintage and slip-on sneakers making for a laid back look.  Birkenstocks, flat slides and sporty soles are making their mark.  Pair them with feminine pieces to balance the masculine feel.

 Statement jewelry is still a favorite, with fringe and tassels making them feel fresh and updated.  The statement earring has come on strong, with cluster earrings, and earring jackets on the scene. Paired with your LBD or even a plain white tee, these statement pieces can make a look.

Bucket bags feel new and easy and are a good size for sunscreen, a good book and a bottle of water for summer days to come!  We’re loving all of the fringe and tassel details on bags across bag silhouettes.  Belts look new again with the obi shape and knotted detail – a perfect nod to the 70’s vibe.

Shoe Guide: Fall 2014

Boots and boots and boots and boots!  And why not?  They are perfectly practical for the cooler weather that is upon us, and it’s not every day chic fashion and practicality find common ground.  They’ve taken just about every form possible and can work on your most casual days and your fanciest nights out….Ankle boots, riding boots, over-the-knee boots, moto boots and booties.  Take your pick…or 2 or 3.

Pointy toes in heels and flats are still ever present, along with various animal prints to wear with absolutely everything.  We’re seeing “cage” heels and lace-ups as the fresh, new silhouettes.  In keeping with the booming sporty trend, lots of sneakers are on the scene, from high-tops to slip ons and everything in between.

The shoe completes the look so don’t always go for the “safe choice”…  be bold, have fun and show some personality!
