It´s so refreshing to know that many of the trends for spring 2014 are already in our closet. Take a good look in those last-season items that you stashed back in the closet, most likely you can create different looks with them that are of-the-moment with only little update needed.
But of course, for our own sanity, we love mixing old pieces with something new. Grab one or two key items for spring to spin up what you already have in your possession. Maybe a pastel blazer? Or an acid wash high waist shorts?
Solid Pastel
Mint Row: Crop Tee, Cardigan, Jumper
Pink Row: Blazer, Jumper, Blazer
Remember how big pastel trend was in 2012? It´s coming back to conquer once again. I love this trend because of its whimsical elements. Mixing pastel with other pastel shades creates a very feminine, dainty, yet fashion-forward character. Pick your key player, is it a pastel blazer, a cardigan, or a versatile top?
6 Bright Pastel Outfits for Spring
Black and White Monochrome
Top Row: Contrast Collar Top, Swing Dress, Tunic Dress
Bottom Row: Boxy Top, Jumpsuit, T-shirt
I´m one of those who´d gone crazy with black and white monochrome trend last year. And I´m happy to see that it still lingers. Polka dots, heart print, and daisy print are the things to watch in spring. I´m especially digging this daisy print jumpsuit to wear with a white blazer and black heels. So fabulous!
Acid Wash Denim
Jeans, Retro Jacket, Oversize Jacket
Disco Shorts, Belted Shorts
Bring out your vintage persona in an acid wash look this spring. Try a high waist acid wash mama jeans with a light weight tee, its sleeves rolled up, complete with a pair of fierce platform sandals, and oversized sunnies. Or simply throw over an edgy ensemble an acid wash jacket for a modern-meets-vintage result.

Floral Print
Dress, Top, Cami, Joggers, Skirt, Shorts
Nothing can probably kick the floral print off the trend chart. But for spring, look for fine floral pattern subdued with pastel or dark shade. I´d love to wear a blue rose print skater dress with black, killer court shoes on warmer days. Or I´d settle for a dark floral midi skirt with tan knee high boots for colder days.
Ethnic & Aztec Print
Sleeve Dress, Maxi Dress, Strap Dress
Jumpsuit, Top, Playsuit
For girls who love aztec tribal prints, it´s time to celebrate because your love for boho style will once again see the spotlight. When we speak of boho chic your probably don´t expect it to be polished, after all, isn´t this trend about showing your rough side? But imagine how very put together you´d look in this black strap dress worn with suede black ankle boots and a black moto jacket?
Now over to you girls, which of these spring trends do you have in your closet? What key items would you need to grab now to rework those already-in-my-wardrobe items?
