Happy Fashion Friday!
I've always loved putting together cute outfits and clothes. Totally sharing too much here, but in middle school I'd even draw my outfits and plan them out weeks in advance. When I worked at the TV station, I loved being able to put together new outfits so I wouldn't wear the same things very often. I think that's why I've enjoyed sharing fashion on Running in a Skirt... it's kind of always been in my blood.
Over the past few years, I've shared a post at the beginning of spring and summer sharing some of the big fashion trends for the upcoming year and clothes that I thought fit into those trends. I started researching trends for 2018 and nothing was clicking. Yes, I can get behind the athleisure, bright pink and pastel trends... but short suits... really? I'm just not going there. I honestly am just not loving some of the big trends in the past few seasons and I've found myself more in love with buying clothes that fit me, despite the trends. Right now I'm loving florals, ruffle sleeves, denim jackets and all things Lilly. I can even get behind the higher waisted shorts, but so many things deemed cool right now are just so not me. I figured I can’t be the only one who feels that way, so with that in mind, I decided to just share some of my favorite spring fashion finds of the season. I figured I wasn't the only one out there who just wants pretty clothes... without the silly trends. The goal is to help you refresh your wardrobe for the upcoming weather. Just consider this your personal shopping session. 😉

YES! I was so impressed with their spring stuff this year. Last spring was really cute too.
Maureen @ Maureen Gets Real says
Girl I am with you on some of the trends! If someone else wants to wear it then have at it but I'm not a fan. I'd rather dress "off trend" but be comfortable than look trendy. With that being said the bow shorts and shirt dress are so cute!! Perfect for a little wardrobe refresh.
JulieWunder says
Thanks! Have you seen the huge culotte pants? So not going their either? lol!
Wendy says
I can use all the fashion advice you offer! LOL! When I was in Florida, a shop on the island had ALL THE Lily Pulitzer and I totally thought of you!
JulieWunder says
That made my day! Thanks Wendy!

Cute clothes! I wear workout clothes to work so these would all be a splurge for me. When i was in High school I did the same thing too. I would write my outfits on my calendar so I wouldn't wear an outfit more than once a month....haha.
JulieWunder says
The things we did when we were younger! lol!
Heather says
Oh my gosh that first dress, and the Lily dress, and the ruffle shirt. I want them all! Have a great weekend, Julie!
