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.

Cut-Out Sides
A cut-out midsection is the perfect option for those who want to show off the result of their daily Pilates classes. A crop top is too ’90s. But this trend shows just enough skin to be sexy but still age appropriate.

One-Sleeve
I go back and forth with this trend. Every once in a while, I’ll see a woman wearing a one-sleeve dress and like it. But for the majority of the time I find myself thinking how cold that bare arm must be.

Animal Prints
It’s always safe to buy an animal print. Spots and stripes never leave the fashion world longer than a season. I have a decent amount of cheetah in my closet so I’m eyeing the tiger print at DVF. Don’t worry, I’m not planning on wearing an entire striped silk suit, but the jacket would look very cool over a little solid dress.

Yellow
My favorite color is still going strong for spring in every shade and material. I can’t wait to see who wears Monique Lhullier’s sunflower gown on the red carpet. It reminds me of that gorgeous Carolina Herrera Mariska Hartigay wore to last year’s Emmy Awards.

It’s a crappy economy, but throw on something gold and you feel like a million bucks.
