Transition Time!

Transitioning your wardrobe from one season to the next can be one of the most difficult fashion dilemmas.  Trading out your cozy Winter sweaters to your vibrant, lightweight tops is probably the toughest for any fashionista.

The rules I try to abide by are these:

-Try to expose one section of your body and cover up the rest.  For example, a skirt with a 3/4 or long-sleeved top tucked in.  Show off your legs, but cover your arms for some warmth still.

-Stick with a central color or theme.  Bright or pastel colors give off a Spring/Summer vibe, even if the pieces are made for colder times of the year.  Prints, such as stripes or leopard, work even in the spring.  If the styles are warm-weather styles but in a darker print or tone, don't stress!  Edgy is in & Spring doesn't mean being an Easter egg all the time! :)

-Lastly, try different textures.  Soft fabrics, such as chiffon and silk, look fabulous with "rougher" fabrics like denim, wool, or leather.  Mixing these textures not only will keep you warm on a breezy day, but you'll hit a hot fashion trend, as well.

Good luck, ladies!

Thin Mint

Okay so I'm not talking about the oh-so famous (and delicious) Girl Scout cookies this time, but we are totally in love with the color mint here at Bliss this spring!  Use mint as that pop of color you need for your neutral outfits, or for my risk-takers, try mint skinnies with a bold print, such as stripes or floral.  Our fabulous fashion stylist Mandi is kind of obsessed with the color, too! :)

Here are some of my favorite looks for this upcoming Spring 2013 season!

Funky Florals

The oh-so popular peplum trend is here to stay for Spring 2013!  I absolutely love the silhouette peplums give your waist and hips.  Pair with jeggings and platform heels for your girls night out!

This floral print peplum top at Bliss looks timeless and totally trendy!  You will be able to pull out tons of colors for jewelry and accessories so no matter your style, you will be able to find something fabulous to match!  The open back can be shown off with a black bandeau or with a sticky freebra that can be found at LoveBliss!  This top is $21.99, and if you show a Bliss stylist your student/teacher I.D. card, you will receive 15% off!  That makes this top only $18.69! :)

Pastel Party!

PEACH - Just like Super Mario... Princess Peach = the ultimate girly girl.  Pair with light neutrals, such as white, beige or tan.  An over-sized open knit or crochet sweater would transition nicely from now until Spring.  Wedges or peep-toe heels complete your "totally tiara" look.

BLUE - Just like the color of a robin's egg, this blue skinny pops!  A floral print top and ballet flats create a super Springy outfit.  Of course any neutral works well, too!  Try colorblocking with a contrasting color on top to really show off your inner fashionista!

Snag these colorful skinnies for $26.99 at Bliss Boutique!
