Sheer
Necklines aren’t the only the only things going sheer for spring. I especially like the sheer sleeves—it’s an ageless way to do the trend.

Geometric
While the black and white geometric prints reminded me of some of the looks I saw for fall, I fell in love with the colorful take on the trend. BCBG’s patterned shapes on flirty dresses were especially impressive.

Feathers
Last Halloween, I created a Woodstock costume with bags and bags of yellow feathers that I hot glue-gunned onto a skirt. After seeing the continuance of the plumage trend, I’m debating wearing that skirt when it’s not October 31st!

Sheer Yoke Dresses
I really need to go to American Apparel and buy one of their Sweetheart Two-Toned Mini Dresses ($46). I was resisting for a while after seeing so many girls in Los Angeles pairing them with booties but the trend isn’t going anywhere and I’m obsessed with the cobalt/navy version. Maybe I can convince my Forever21Report partner to take a trip with me down to American Apparel’s warehouse to see if I can get the dress with a discount.

OK, I’ll admit the Nicholas Kirkwood hip high boots at Rodarte were fierce. But personally, it’s hard for me to see a woman in real life wearing boots that high without thinking of Pretty Woman—pre-Julia Roberts’ ladylike makeover.
