2016 Spring Fashion Trends

I was just flipping through a Valentino spring slide show at In Style and noticed many new and unusual color combinations for Spring.


It’s been a long time since I’ve seen pink and purple together. I l love the way he has color blocked this cute outfit on the left.
He’s done something similar with this coat/dress? This is a pretty periwinkle color, but not too many women can wear this unusual shade of acid green.


Here’s another fresh combo. As for the style,  it kind of reminds me of a hospital bed sheet pulled across a strapless sundress.
Elegant off the shoulder look on the right. Sort of Grecian meets modern woman. The pink and green combo is pretty, but reminds us of upholstered furniture we had in the 80’s. Remember all those soft Valentino yellow dress with pinks, peaches, mauves, and this shade of green that was so in?

Thoughts on this colorful palette?  I’d say be careful. Although gorgeous on these 20 something girls, pastels can be aging on a 50+ woman. Think Grandma at the Sunday Easter Egg hunt. You don’t want to look like a sweet little old lady.
