Spring Fashion Don’t: Ditching Black

Looking out of my window at school, I stared at all of the snow on the ground. This past week, I’ve been pretty excited because I thought it was finally starting to warm up. However, I was sadly mistaken. It’s cold, gloomy and snowy here at Bonaventure, which doesn’t make me the least bit happy. Anyway, I’m excited for when that warm weather comes, so I created this lovely look for a spring day. Even though spring is vibrant and full of color, you can still rock black in a fresh and exciting way. One easy way to do that is to add crisp white. Two trends that I’m in love with for the spring are crop tops and pieces with graphic designs on them.

I was inspired by my other blog (drunken-bliss.tumblr.com) and decided to create this super modern and minimalistic, yet feminine look. The foundation of this look is black and white. As many of you know, my wardrobe consists of mostly black and white pieces. So, this look is true to style and is something I could wear during the spring.

Midnight Memories.

I was in love with this Cavern black and white high-waisted shorts. I love the structure of the shorts along with the zigzag/houndstooth-esque pattern of the shorts. These would be perfect in the summer because they’re fun, fresh and clean. I have also been in love with the cropped turtleneck trend, and crop tops will be a huge trend for the spring. I haven’t embraced it yet, but it’s the perfect piece for a spring or summer evening. This cotton turtleneck sweater by Victoria Beckham was my pick for this piece. To finish off the look, I also went with a piece that’s in style now and is super trendy. The Birkenstock-styled sandal is in, and I am obsessed. These Limited Maya gladiator footbed shoes are to die for. I love the contrast between the white leather straps and the black leather sole. To complete the look, I paired a feminine cat eyed Chanel sunglasses and a gorgeous black Maison Michel wool felt hat.

This look is perfect for a nice day or an evening activity. I hope this look inspires you to embrace black and white in a fun, modern, and feminine way.
