This boutique is a fashionista's dream comes true. If you are interested in fashion-forward tips for spring of 2013 from a genuine Tampa Bay fashionista, then this boutique is a must-see spot.
Debi has put together the following five tips for the upcoming spring 2012 season. She also has included some tips on accessories.
- Mediterranean Mood - Many earth colors and tones will be used. Colors such as nectarine and African violet, as well as dusk blue and glazed jade will be big. Key pieces with these colors are predicted to shape the spring 2013 season.
- Belted Floral Dresses - Moving away from the corporate looks for the office, there will be longer hemlines and styles with a more fitted waist. Also on the comeback are skirts with matching shorter jackets.
- Collarless Blouses - High neck or plunging will have no collar. The no-collar look will replace the stiff look for a more sensual one.
- Slash Neck Tees - More delicate dressy-type T-shirts are set to be huge. These are T-shirts in delicate fabrics with slash-neck cuts.
- Color Clashing - A huge trend set for spring 2013 is color clashing. There will be new color combos, no matching and rare combinations.
Accessories:
- Baseball caps are predicted to be huge. All styles of ball caps and those with a message or bling will be seen everywhere, not just with a team logo.
- Document clutches that are slim line, trendy and will hold iPads or small laptops and important papers are going to pop up everywhere.
- Lux cuffs with embellished stones and designs are set to make bold fashion statements for spring 2013.
