Hi friends!
We officially made it to the start of spring! I'm stoked. I had some doubtful moments during those two crazy weeks in February, but I am so glad we are finally on the flip side of winter. I hope the warmer weather starts trickling in for everyone reading this to match the calendar soon.
Since today is the first official day of Spring according to the calendar, I thought I’d start looking ahead to spring fashion trends for 2015. I’ve picked some of the most wearable fashion finds for this season that I am excited to try. I’m going to post some of them in coming months as Fashion Fridays!
So without further ado, here are some of my top choices for spring. I’ve added a little “splurge” and “steal” style for some fun. A few of these pieces are hopelessly out of my budget, but a girl can dream, right?
5 Spring Fashion Trends
1. Yellow
Yellow is a hot color for Spring 2015 and I’m seeing it everywhere. I love wearing yellow because it is so sunny and cheerful. It is an easy trend to quickly add to your wardrobe.
My splurge pick is kind of a dream dress for me. So gorgeous!
Zarita Lace Dress • $348 • DVF.com
This Kensie dress is still on the high end, but I think it is such a classic look and will wear for many seasons
kensie Sleeveless Eyelet Cotton Fit & Flare Dress • $99 • Nordstrom
This little number is a steal. On sale right now for thirty bucks. I love the draping of the skirt and the black belt.
ASOS Tulip Dress in Crepe • $31 • Asos
ASOS Tulip Dress in Crepe • $31 • Asos
2. 70’s are Back
Anything reminiscent of the 70s is back in a big way. I think it is a trend that is here to stay and over the next few seasons we will see more wide pants legs again. Right now flared leg jeans are slowly making a comeback.
My splurge pick is the Paige Denim Jeans with a high waist. They would be super cute with a tucked in shirt and belt.
Paige Denim Jeans - High Rise Bell Canyon in Nottingham • $179 • Bloomingdale's
These KUT jeans are a little more attainable (steal!) and totally on point with the style.
KUT from the Kloth 'Farrah' Baby Bootcut Jeans (Whim) (Short) • $79 • Nordstrom
3. Tropical Prints
Tropical prints are everywhere and are so much fun!
This Roverto Cavailli dress is laughably out of my price range (splurge), but it is so pretty.
Roberto Cavalli tropical print dress • $713.22 • farfetch.com
I find this little number from Polo Ralph Lauren and it is on sale for $58. It has a similar feel and is a total steal!
Polo Ralph Lauren Floral T-Shirt Dress • $58 • Saks Fifth Avenue
4. Gingham Prints
Gingham prints are a bit tricky to pull off, but if done correctly can be super cute. You just don’t want to look like a table cloth, so my advice is stay away from red. Just stay away…..
Get ready to droll because this Diane von Furstenberg dress is gorgeous! What a beautiful splurge. I love the way the skirt drapes.
DIANE von FURSTENBERG Wrap Dress - Riviera Silk Gingham • $478 • Bloomingdale's
My steal pick is a Lucy Paris Midi skirt. You can pair this with a cute slim short sleeve shirt or sweater tucked in and the look is a little more subtle, but still very designer. This look is a little more attainable.
Lucy Paris Midi Skirt - Bloomingdale's Exclusive Gingham Scuba • $68 • Bloomingdale's
If you love gingham and want it at at even more of a steal, this Forever 21 shirt will look adorable with jeans and totally be on trend this season. It is a total steal for less than twenty bucks.
FOREVER 21 Two-Pocket Gingham Shirt • $17.90 • Forever 21
5. Denim on Denim
The denim on denim look has been building for some time and I think it will take off in the spring.
This Paige Denim shirt is one adorable splurge!
Paige Denim 'Tate' Denim Shirt • $179 • Nordstrom
This version from Target is a total steal at $22.99. I actually own this shirt and love it. (upcoming Fashion Friday post!!!)
Women's Denim Popover Favorite Shirt Merona® • $22.99 • Target
6. Cross body Purses with Chain Straps
I have no words for this purse. I adore it and I want it. SPLURGE!
Tory Burch Bombe Fold-Over Clutch Bag, Light Oak • $395 • Neiman Marcus
For less than $50 you can find a similar style for a steal.
olivia + joy Delilah Convertible Cross-Body Bag • $45.80–78 • Amazon.com
The other big trend this season that is not on my official list is culottes.
FOREVER 21 Pleated Woven Culottes • $24.99 • Forever 21
I didn’t feel like it is a very wearable look for most people, so I left if off the list. I want to hear what you guys think though.
Culottes- yay or nay?
Happy Fashion Friday friends!
I’ll be back Monday with some adorable Easter Decor including a new TABLESCAPE!!!! And even better- it’s a tablescape on a budget. I can’t wait to see you then.

Lagarti says
I like the yellow one perfect for summer and Tropical Prints too.Kudoos !
Selene says
Wow, love all the great looks! The beige Tory Burch bag is adorable and the look alike is just as cute. Thanks for sharing!
Kaitlyn says
All of these trends were spot-on! Bright yellow is such a great color for the warmer weather. I like how you included both steal and splurge options!
Urooj says
All the dresses are just awesome, just these few shirts in below i don't like, because i never wear shirts.
Jarrod says
I loved the yellow one! especially the first one which is looking awesome with its floral design...I would love to have same sort of wardrobe with same colour... Actually A Lovely Job Done!!
Felicia says
I love the yellow Kensie dress and the yellow Tulip dress with the black belt. Also want one of those Forever 21 gingham shirts! The culottes not so much.
JulieWunder says
Thanks Felicia! Great to see you today! I'm in search of my gingham piece.
Amber says
I am not a fashionista by any sense...and to be honest, have a hard time putting together outfits, I like simple, fitted items, and am a fan of yellow! But only when I'm tan! I love skinny jeans only, if I even wear pants 😛
JulieWunder says
I'm not a huge pants person either. I'm in a dress way more than pants. More comfortable I my opinion!
Bethany says
I used to have a pair of culottes and I'm a short person. They probably didn't look so hot back then either but man they were sooooo comfy! I'll probably leave them out of my wardrobe unless I'm wearing them for pajama pants! I love the 70's but I'm in to vintage clothing!
JulieWunder says
I love vintage stuff as well. My closet hippie self love the 70s style.
I think I had some culottes way back when too 🙂
Danyelle Musselman says
I'm loving the floral prints! Definitely want to add some to my wardrobe!
JulieWunder says
Me too! Hope you are having fun at the tournament!

I'm so ready for denim on denim. Bring it, Spring!
Keep in touch,

JulieWunder says
Me too! Thanks girl!
Farrah says
I love ASOS! :]! They have so many cute clothes! I think yellow tends to look really bad on me unless I've been in the sun for awhile (but then skin cancer :[ ), but those dresses are gorgeous!
JulieWunder says
Oh bummer! I just wear the yellow with my pale skin and all 🙂
Mary Beth Jackson says
great selections! I love the steals! Yellow makes any blue day better and the florals that are coming out are really pretty! I like the denim on denim too 🙂 Great post!
JulieWunder says
Thanks MB! I love a good steal as well!
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
I'm in love with all of the yellow dresses you picked out! Ahhhh I can't wait for spring weather!
JulieWunder says
Me too! It was really pretty here today!
Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says
I saw a bunch of floral prints in the store yesterday and I love them!
JulieWunder says
Me too! I'm always a fan of flowers.
Megan says
That DVF dress is insane... Love love love this post it's all wonderful
JulieWunder says
I know.... I looooovvvvveeee it!
Smitha @ RunningwithSDMom says
I feel like I am totally with it! Just bought a pencil skirt in gingham for work and I ahve a super cute yellow skirt I just got! Yay me! I love this roundup of style!
JulieWunder says
You are sooo golden! I need to go get my signature gingham piece for the season! 🙂
Jess @hellotofit says
Ehh for me personally, I think culottes are a "no". I'm short, and I feel like those would drown me! Happy Friday!!
Gingi says
This is horrible news for me.. lol! I look awful in yellow, I hate tropic prints, and I'm not a fan of 70s fashion.. I'm going to be stylishly unstylish this spring, methinks. 😉 - http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
JulieWunder says
Haaaaaaa!!!!! You will survive I'm sure 🙂 That is hilarious!
Ruthie@She'sWickedHealthy says
Ooh! So fun! I am so excited to ditch these bulky layers and bring back some fresh and fun to my wardrobe! I'm surprisingly happy the 70's are in because I feel like I can unleash my inner funk! 🙂
Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says
Not a fan of the coulottes, nor of the denim on denim. I love the yellows for sure and the crossbody purses with chain straps!
JulieWunder says
Yeah, coulottes are not my thing either. I love the rest of these though! Enjoy the weekend!
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
love me a cross body, and love a chain strap! I can't wait until I can wear my yellow maxi dress again--I adore it
JulieWunder says
I know- I kind of miss my summer dresses as well!
Blane Sherer says
Like the spring fashions but fashion Fridays are better when you are the model thus giving us your more personal touch. You can't be everywhere and do everything though. Hope you have a nice weekend.
JulieWunder says
You too! Have a nice weekend.
Annmarie says
I NEED that bag in my life and am totally going to be adding some yellow to my wardrobe this Spring! Super bright and pretty!
JulieWunder says
I kind of need it too... going to have to save my pennies 🙂
I really want one of those yellow dresses now!
Jenny says
Culottes are so tricky! I had some in 3rd grade that rocked my world; I think I'll leave them at that. I cannot get on board with the denim on denim, but I love everything else! P.S. Bette in Biltmore Park has that DVF dress...just saying. 😉 Oh, and IT'S SPRIIING!
JulieWunder says
Yeah-- I don't think I'm bringing back that fashion either. More power to the girl who does!
They doooooooo......????????? Oh how I love it.....
jill conyers says
Love all the looks except the yellow. As pretty as it is I can't wear yellow without looking washed out pale. It seems like the 70s have been attempting to come back over the last year or 2 but the skinny jeans don't want to give up the spotlight.
Have a wonderful weekend Julie!
JulieWunder says
I totally understand! I think skinny jeans will hang on for awhile, but the slow transition is beginning-- at least I think so! I'm not giving mine up anytime soon though.
