Spring is here, and with it comes a bevy of hot new fashion trends. I absolutely love pouring over my March/April magazine issues and catalogs, doggy-earring fashion pages or pinning up looks I adore on Pinterest. And while the days of getting a spiffy new seasonal wardrobe are long gone for some of us (welcome to the world of the stay-at-home-mama), there are still ways to incorporate key pieces to keep your look hip and fresh, whether you’re rushing the kiddies off to playdates or meeting up with the hubs for a night on the town.
Fashion Editor & Stylist, Samantha Beranbom gets it – not only because she’s styled hundreds of fashion magazine editorials, but because she’s a mom of a toddler, too! Sam suggests a great way to start is by “updating your boring t-shirt and jeans with a new pair of skinny or straight leg jeans in a pastel color.” Feeling bold? Go for a floral or graphic print:
If darker jeans are more your stride, pair with a bright blouse and some super cute printed or studded flats for an easy, breezy effortless-chic look. Like this one spotted on Pinterest:
From there, move on to accessories. Think outside the jewelry box! Easy additions like customized headbands with floral and feather accents to printed detachable collars can add a touch of drama, whimsy or prep, depending upon your mood:

And if you’re a few steps ahead and already thinking about your beach and pool wardrobe, check out this washable silk Swirling Stripes Long Double V cover up by Echo:

Look for vibrant bright colors and bold patterns to have a little fun with your cover ups.
For the kiddies, keeping it light and bright with little touches of neon here and there can be fresh and fun. (Ok maybe white is not the MOST practical color choice, but isn’t there something so angelic about a child in white?!)
