Can I get a great big hallelujah?? Spring has sprung, friends, *sigh in relief*. As we all know, in Canada winter always feels long. However, this year it seemed to feel excessively long. In fact, there was one point where I had just accepted the fact that it was going to be winter forever and parkas were just my permanent look. I’m not even one of those people that despise winter, but I didn’t realize how much I missed and needed that warm, lovely, beautiful sun until it beat down on me ☀️. The. Best. Feeling. 

I mean… who doesn’t love Spring? I know I know, it might not be Summer per say but it’s pretty darn close to it. Lakeside walks, coffee runs, patio drinks, hiking, park picnics, and bike riding. But just like every other season, I’m always most excited for the fashion and for switching up my wardrobe. We’ve all just spent the past five months wrapped up like a burrito wearing turtlenecks and sweaters and scarves and coats and wool socks layered on top of eachother. Tis the freakin’ season to strip it all off! Okay maybe not strip it alllll off, but a lot of it. 

There are so many super cute trends for Spring this year and I seriously cannot wait to wear them all. Check out some of the looks I put together:

The trends I’m loving this Spring:

COLOUR 🎨  – One trend that will always be oh so Spring is colour. Bright, light, you name it… there is no Spring without colour. This year is all about the pastels though – pinks, yellows, purples, greens, and blues. I think given our past year in quarantine and grey sweatsuits, we are all beyond ready to make a statement with our fashion and embrace all things colourful. 

Puffed Sleeves ☁️  – The 80’s are back! Dramatic or settle, long or short, big or small, puffed sleeves are sooo on trend and I’m here for it. This look is feminine and can be styled in so many different ways whether it’s a tank, dress, long sleeve, or jumpsuit. Adding this stylish flare to your Spring wardrobe will be a huge win. 

Baggy Jeans👖 – The best pants everrrr. Not only are they high waisted, but they are loose-fitting too. So basically sweatpants but in a more presentable form. Works for me! Baggy jeans are so chic and look super cute with so many different styles of tops & sweaters. They can easily be dressed up or down with heels or sneakers too. Obsessed!

Knitwear 🧵 – Anything & everything knit is allllll the crave this season. This trend has been around forever and each time it comes around, it seems to get better and better. Basic knit and patterned knit are both super in and can be worn as tops or bottoms. But the biggest vibe of them all is pairing knit on knit, whether it be a matching or mismatching set. Vibessss.

Prints & Patterns 🏁 – This Spring is all about making a statement and what better way to do that than with a bold print or pattern? Checkered patterns are everywhere this season, same with graphic prints and of course, florals. Mixing patterns with colour is also super cool to do – yellow gingham, purple floral, and pink graphics. You can’t wear bold prints and patterns all year long so take advantage of this time and wear it up!

Mini Skirts 👗 – Say goodbye to maxi skirts and make way for mini everything – skirts, dresses, and shorts. This season we are embracing and showing off our upper legs, so get out that self-tanner, friends! Mini skirts pair so well with cardigans, oversized blazers, and of course, little white tees. Similar to the baggy jeans trend, mini skirts can also be dressed up or down and completely change the look of the fit. A mini skirt with high boots… *chefs kiss*. 

If you’re anything like me, you probably feel the need to do a small (or large) shopping spree with each Spring season. Keep an eye out for these chic, trendy pieces during your sprees, and dream big puffy, colourful, mini, checkered dreams this Spring!!

Until next hump day…

Peace & love!
