Hi Lady M readers! I am Tania from WhatWouldANerdWear! As I'm sure you know, Monique has her thumb on the pulse of trends. I cannot claim to have the same knowledge about what's cool (I mean, just take a look at the title of my blog), but there are a few new looks for summer and spring that I'm looking forward to trying out:
2. Big wedges. I used never to wear heels or wedges or anything with height, ever. But I have slowly eased into bigger shoes with really, really comfortable wedges, which are a breeze to walk in (even for a goof like me) and give me a little extra oomph.
3. The maxi dress trend. Though I've been wary of this one for a while, I think I'm going to cave and try it out this summer. It's easy to make a maxi skirt out of a repurposed jersey dress--Elaine from clothedmuch recently made her own and it looks super easy. I picked up a printed dress for $15 at h&m the other weekend and I'm looking forward to trying it out.
4. Florals and stripes seem to be two enduring spring trends (as one friend said to me recently "Every spring, people announce that stripes are in! But stripes never went out, especially for the springtime."). I'm a little shy with pattern mixing still, but I always think stripes and florals look gorgeous together--sophisticated without trying too hard.
5. Simplicity! It might sound silly, but I'm really looking forward to paring things down for spring and summer. Lots of white tops and structured skirts, striped tees and rolled up jeans, and easy little black dresses with sandals.
Thanks for letting me guest post, Monique!
