Cut. It. Out. & let's TANGO

{I just laughed out loud as I pictured myself doing the "cut-it-out" hand motions...circa 1995?!}

As discussed yesterday, I am going to highlight SPRING TRENDS throughout this week.Why you may ask? Welp, I am quite sick of Winter already, and I think it techinically just started (recently)? - yuck. So I am looking to BRIGHTER days ahead! Along with the lovely lady Linds' perspective she's obtained through viewing the reveal of SPRING clothing lines via Trade Shows, I have done my share of some style research as well. Let me add that this kind of research is QUITE fun. The first trends I invite you to take a quick peak at our CUTOUT DESIGNS and the crazy cool color TANGERINE.

While this isn't our first introduction to CUTOUT DESIGNS, it appears they have proven worthy enough to make the CUT (oh yah that pun was intended) once again for SPRING. Rather than random and SUPER REVEALING cutout designs, it seems that Spring has given more thought to "the cutout"- introducing it to SHAPES, incoportating the design into patterns, and giving it a bit more subtle appearance.

As for the "color of the year?" Pantone declares this as TANGERINE TANGO.

Sooo what you will see below are a collection of pictures featuring these two CAPTIVATING TRENDS....and gasp, I managed to find some photos that COMBINED the two trends together. GENIUS.

SPRING FORECAST Intro: via the Lovely Linds

OH. SO. EXCITED. about this post collaboration with the adorable and ridiculously fashionable Lindsey. I worked with this doll at RBC Inc. showroom in Chicago a few years ago, and she has remained a key rep there for some amazing clothing lines... Heard of  such delightful lines as Miss Me, LA Made, Kersh, Rock Revival, Renee C,  and MinkPink?? I seriously hope you have...if not, do some research asap.  I am pretty much obsessed with LA Made, Kersh, and MinkPink...as you would see for yourself in my closet. As a whole sale clothing rep, Lindsey travels to various tradeshows (Magic in Las Vegas, Intermezzo in NY, etc.) to reveal these crazy gorgeous clothing lines for the upcoming seasons..... Basically, she's on top of the trends MONTHS in advance- I seriously almost just passed out from absolute NOSTALGIA and complete longing for such a job- TOTALLY jealous here. To give a deeper glimpse at her perspective, they are currently showing fall preview, yes FALL.  Well, of course  I asked Lindsey to collaborate with me and provide amazing info for SPRING.....as well as future posts....LOVE HER FOR THIS. So, this is my lil intro to a series of posts going forward regarding the Spring Fashion Trend Forecast. Please join me this week as we push the winter blues OUT OF THE WAY and head right to SPRING..... First up tomorrow is the intensifying trend of CUTOUTS and a look at SPRING COLOR. xo
