Sometimes, the best source of inspiration is right in front of you — in the windows, display cases, and racks of stores. As I walked around the mall earlier this week, I found plenty of gorgeous things to admire.
Mint mint mint. It’s everywhere (including Zara and Mango)!
Bold colored tops and patterned skirts at J.Crew.
The bigger statement necklace, the better.
High-low hem skirts at Forever 21.
A pretty awesome and organized perfume display at Sephora.
Another major designer collaboration hit stores today and I’m guessing by now, the masses have all but destroyed every rack at H&M. And even though the Marni x H&M collection isn’t available in my city, I still love ogling over the lookbook. I mean, the print mixing is so bold and out of control, it’s hard not to stare!
Maybe it’s because I obsessively highlight my textbooks (in a color coordinated fashion nonetheless), but I’m all on board with the neon trend for spring. Incorporate it into your look with belt or a bag or fully embrace it in a bright dress. Just be sure to pair it with more neutral pieces so you don’t get mistaken for one of my highlighters.
