So I usually am not one to necesarilly “follow” all the upcoming trends to every season. Its more about taking whats popular and “in” and adapting it to your style and aesthetic. You can use pieces that you already have in your closet (sparing your wallet) and just splurge on particular items that really pop out for the season (ex. a really great pair of on trend pants that can be paired multiple times). Here are some of my favorite trends for Spring 2013.
Checkered/Diamond Print
Seen all over the runways, this trend is classic yet still made modern by combining it with structured fits and bright bold colors.
You can style this look in bold dress form or in a more subtle version with a checkered top, solid print blazer and jeans.
Leather
Leather is transitioning its way from fall attire well into spring 2013 with newer styles and cuts to choose from. Keep it light weight with different brighter tones (neutral or even red leather works) and take advantage of the warm weather by incorporating the popular cut out look.
Florals
It wouldnt be spring without the incorporation of some florals. After all april showers do really bring may flowers! Pair them with neutrals for a flirty casual feel, or mix and match different floral prints for a different spin on the classic.
Black and White
Although its an unsual concept, the stark contrast provides a fresh new visual look for the season. Any shape or cut works as long as the color combo remains intact. Try a color blocked top that already incorporates the trend, or pair your own separate pieces for a cohesive look.
So their you have it! Just some of this seasons top trends to try and incorporate when styling yourself for spring. Remember to assess your items and utilize what you already own in order not to break the bank trying these out.
Spring into this seasons trends!

I really love the garden floral infinity scarf from Charlotte Russe in your post and almost bought it last year. (Kicking myself now for not) Did you purchase it? If so let me know if you are willing to part with it and I would love to buy it from you!
Thanks
Unfortunately neither of us did, But we found some similar options you may be interested in that are still available. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the feedback!
