It’s that time of year when I begin wondering what I’ll be wearing next. Despite 30 degree weather, I start envisioning sandals, pedicures and bare legs. As soon as spring fashion magazines are in stores, I start stocking up, comparing trends and making lists.

This year the list of trends I like is really long. Would anyone like to contribute shopping money? No one?

Let me start by saying the trends seemed like much of the same at first. I swear I covered these same trends last year (sporty, tribal/exotic, embellished, pastel, romantic, etc). That being said, they feel really different this time. While there are a number of seemingly disconnected trends out there, everything looks really feminine for the most part – and kind of 90’s in the best way (crop tops, bucket bags, birkenstocks, chokers and baseball jackets). Think Kelly Kapowski meets Grace Kelly.

My favorite trends are starred above. I never thought “sporty” would be a trend I’d consider, but it’s making a dressed up appearance that is really cool. And while I won’t do head to toe tribal, I can definitely see myself with a great patterned clutch or shoe.

Which trends are you most excited about?
