Festival Fashion to Wear all Spring SXSW Edition!

Saturday ended the first music festival of the season, South by South West, where the  fashion was nothing short of inspiring for the upcoming season!

What to look out for this time of the year:

• Breezy Sundresses-the light and loose fit is perfect for a warm sunny day.
• Bright Sunglasses -working in neon shades, a great way to add color!
• Tie Dye Tanks -a nod to the original music festival Woodstock '69
• Fringed Bags -especially a cross body bag, easy to wear, hands free, light to carry
• Flower Hair Flair-a simple accessory we are going to be seeing a lot of this Spring.
• Ankle Boots-not just for winter, they look adorable with shorts too!
• Straw Hats- not only great for sun protection, but a HUGE trend this season
• Printed Rompers-whether you're attending a festival or flea market, these are casual and can be worn anytime.

Elements of Fashion

Street fashion is so inspiring. It is so amazing to see how people take various approaches to similar looks. The one thing I love the most about it is the fact that it's real people, wearing real fashion. So I did some research and came across these street trendy gals!

 Let's start from top! These fabulous winter accessories not only keep you warm, but you look chic while wearing them.

 An over sized hat is playful, and not to mention very comfy. It is easy to throw on when running errands or for just simply hanging around.

Turbans are making their way into day to day wardrobe and this makes me ECSTATIC. I am very guilty of wearing these, they are by far one of my favorite pieces.

Warm fluffy knits make the winter bearable, so continuing downward, we have winter tops.

Graphic tees are not just for summer, adding a toasty scarf and a cardigan allows it to become transitional and can be worn all year round.

 A simple grey sweater is also a "must have". It allows you to play up the accessories, for instance an animal print scarf or a colorful bag. Feeling daring? Wear both at the same time!

Our hands need some love too.These accessories add a quirkiness to the drab colors we tend to lean towards on gloomy, cold winter days. Have fun with your wardrobe, just because the sun isn't shining doesn't mean your clothes don't have too!

 

It is NO secret I have an obsession with accessories. By adding hardware it characterizes the final look.

 This season it's all about the socks! They don't only keep your toes nice and warm, but they can be really fun to coincide with jeans, leggings, and even dresses!

Knit socks look really great with a pair of heels....

 or even with a distressed boot!
