Color!

The Pantone swatches are out for Spring/Summer 2010 and spring fashions are entering the doors to our stores and bringing in not just a splash, but a wave of color! I'm a bright color enthusiast I suppose, so this is a very exciting time to see all the new items currently shipping out to our favorite stores. I've been seeing some great accent pieces that can fit in anyone's wardrobe and won't trim your wallet down that size I wish I could...lots of tshirt dresses and other shirtdresses have been popping up, brightly colored swimwear is being unpacked and put on mannequins, and people never seize to be amazed that spring stuff is coming out now!

Some trends I'm looking forward to:
I've been seeing a lot of masculine trends turning a feminine chic route, like the ever popular hunting jacket and bringing out the rough sportster in every chickadee. You have your safari, military/utility jackets and shirtdresses with their beige and sage coloring, then you get your future femme fatale in sparkling metalics. But, don't let that title fool you, for there's always room for the Sex and The City doll around town with your higher than a city skyscraper heels, high cut shorts and intriguing backs, just don't take it too far to the point of trollop.

I always love looking through Rodarte's things. They were showing tribal and warrioresque at their show for spring (pictured). They sure know how to turn heads. They're young to the scene, but they know what they like and people are flocking to see their shows. With their futuristic shredded survivor female with bands of color popping here and there, they run with an idea and stick it to a tee!

I'm always open to your opinions, so feel free...
