Spring is almost here! Though it hasn’t been that cold here in Texas this winter, many people around the country have been suffering through a very harsh, snowy season. But soon our days will be filled with sunshine.

With warmer weather comes a dramatic change in fashion, of course. So what’s hot for spring this year? Let me tell you about some of my favorite spring fashion trends.

Valentino Histoire Patent Satchel

Pink and yellow

Pink is always a fabulous color for spring and this year is no exception. Hot pink is a bold yet trendy choice in the form of shiny patent handbags and strappy sandals. Yellow is also at the forefront this season. If you don’t normally wear yellow, don’t be afraid to give it a try. From dark mustard yellow to bright school bus yellow, you are sure to find a shade that works well for you.

Ruffles, ruffles and more ruffles

If you love flirty, feminine looks, this season you will get plenty. From ruffled Prada bags to romantic white blouses, the ruffle trend is big for spring. Personally, I love the asymmetrical ruffled dresses and tops that are popping up everywhere right now. Whether you are looking for something bright and colorful or something a bit more subdued, you can certainly find it in a ruffled silhouette.

Aviator sunglasses

For both men and women, aviator sunglasses are oh so, cool. I love sunglasses because you don’t have to splurge on an expensive pair just to look good. I have one pricey pair of designer glasses and an array of cheaper sunglasses to change up my look. In addition to aviators, oversized Jackie O style shades as well as shield sunglasses make a big statement this season.
