Spring Break and Some Spring Style!

Whew! It has been a solid two week spring break for us over here at TMS! We took some much needed time off to rest and rejuvenate. Holly is of course still spending all of her time with her new, precious twin baby boys! If you want a little peek, click here!

Well we are back to the real world and in the real world it is officially Spring! Where we live spring is often an enigma. Sometimes it shows up and sometimes we simply jump from winter to summer. Spring is a tough season fashion wise because you are in a very in-between temperature time where it is not warm enough to bust out capris, tanks, and sandals, yet it's too warm for all the comfy, cozy layers of winter. I find myself transitioning into spring with color, texture, and (gasp) revealing my pasty white legs one tiny inch at a time in a few cropped pants and rolled skinnies. Here are three spring trends I plan to jump on pronto! Join me in saying hello to spring and goodbye (good riddance!) to winter with these three trends.

1. Color: Radiant Orchid
This is Pantone's 2014 color of the year! It really is a stunning hue and will lift your spirit and your style this spring! Try starting with just a pop of the color and move your way up to a top or sweater in this delicious hue! I even just bought a gorgeous nail color in this shade!

2. Texture: All Over Lace
Lace is such a fabulous feminine touch for spring. I am a huge fan of lace no matter the season but it really fits perfectly in spring. Try finding a wardrobe piece that is ALL OVER lace for a big wow effect. Also, try a lace piece in a bold, spring hue.

3. Length: Cropped pants and rolled jeans
This is the perfect trend for spring. It allows you to show a little bit of leg while still keeping warm on cool spring days. The length you are looking for is just above the ankle--showing a teeny bit of calf. Old Navy has a new line of pants called the Pixie that are perfect for this look.  Cropped pants and rolled jeans look adorable with just about any shoe too. I love to pair mine with flats, heels, Sperry's, and tennies. Try and snag a pair or two in a bold spring hue or print. My latest fashion find is a pair of distressed cuffed skinnies that I simply love. They are the cutest thing with flats!
