Making a Statement this Spring
Spring is in the air! I know this because of the blooming dogwoods and cherry blossoms, the sun rising and setting a little later and the birds chirping away (early, I might add). Spring is nature’s way of letting us know where there is darkness, there will always be light.
The fashion world is heavily inspired by the forces of nature. Strutting into a new season, it’s clear that designers, stylists and fashion critics have taken a page out of spring’s book, eager to make a statement.
Bold Prints
The days of ‘understated’ and ‘subtlety’ are over! Bold prints dominated the runways this New York Fashion Week, with emerging designer Lavie by CK taking the fashion world by storm. The collection reminds us of how much fun is to be had in fashion, and how you don’t need to sacrifice playful prints to look sexy.
If the Lavie by CK collection is a little too colorful for you, have no fear. Black and white prints will be just as big this spring. Our ‘Cruella’ trench is a great way to make a statement on those spring days that feel more like winter, and is on sale for $25.
Sweats 2.0
Let’s be real, when is athleisure not going to be in. We’ve entered an era where a cute outfit doesn’t have to come at the cost of comfort. Brands like Wear One’s At have elevated loungewear that can take you from the grocery store, to the gym to grab a drink with the girls. Our ‘Pink Tracksuit’ can help you achieve the athleisure look while keeping your pockets cozy. The whole set can be found on our site for only $25! With sneakers being more stylish than ever, the possibilities for sensible styling are endless.
Big Bling
As the blueprint for quite a few fashion trends, black women have been rocking flashy gold jewelry for decades! With chunky, gold jewelry popping up all over, it seems like the rest of the girls are finally up to speed. Bamboo earrings, cuban links and pinkie rings are back in style like they never left (but the real know they’ve been here, and are here to stay).
For those who can’t get behind gold, or are looking for a more ‘refined’ look, pearls are just as in right now and are being seen on everyone from rappers to fashion models to our newest Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson!
Making Yourself the Statement
A lot of us spent a good amount of the last few years in our homes, hiding, isolated from the rest of the world, equally longing for and feeling scared of contact. As the weather warms up and we have more opportunities to gather safely and enjoy time together outside, I feel like there has never been a better time to stop hiding! The world has felt heavy lately, because it is, but why not be the light?
Backless dresses and tops started making their way into stores last summer, but I’m realizing this season is going to force me to figure out once and for all how the heck I’m supposed to ‘backless bra’ or ‘sticky boob’ or ‘body tape’ myself into this trend. The ‘Black Beauty’ dress is a great place to start if you need to work your way up to something a little more revealing. Once you’re feeling as confident and sexy as you are, our ‘Give Me More’ and ‘Blow Your Back Out!’ dresses will be your spring and summertime best friends. All on sale for $15.
Wishing you confidence, happiness, and love.
