Preppy Stripes
I'm loving how stripes are coming back this season, and for once they aren't nautical! It's all about bold colors or preppy prints that can be mix and matched to create your own unique style.
Scallop detailing
Scallop detailing adds a little something without drawing too much attention to your bottom half. It adds a feminine touch while still maintaining a classic and sophisticated look.
Loving these now!
Sheer
Sheer fabrics remain one of the hottest fashion trends for spring. This season you don't have to be stick thin to be on top of the trend because it's not all about tight, see-through tops, and dresses that scream look at me.
If you look at the Spring 2011 trends, "you'll find sheer fabrics used in a multitude of ways: tight sheer pieces, layers, and the much sought after delicate, feminine draping," said Tania Braukamper, Fashionising.com author.
Here are some of my personal favorites to add to your closet:

Revamp your blazer
Who doesn't love a classic black blazer? It can transform a spring dress for a dressy yet edgy look or complete a white t-shirt and skinnies.
"I've been reading a lot about white blazers but I don't know if I can pull off the look," said Jackie Yoken OU senior. "I love the structure of a jacket but don't know what to wear it with".
A white or light blazer looks great with flowy florals or a tailored blouse and skirt. I also love it with a sheath dress or over preppy stripes.
Check out these jackets:
Bohemian is BACK
What ideas come to mind when you think Boho chic?
Effortless, cool, free, flowing...
"Boho chic is one of my favorite looks because it's all about reaching the ultimate level of style while maintaining optimum comfort," said Claire West OU senior.
Who wouldn't want to be comfortable and fashionable... grab these goodies before someone else does!
Neon
Spring means color, and we tend to wear color in safe places like shoes, handbags, jewelry and even in our lip gloss, but what about the basics? Yes, it is time to push over the khaki’s, the browns, the blacks, and the skinny jeans for a fun and fierce color poppin’ tops and bottoms.
From electric blues to powerful pinks, these key pieces are a must-have for the spring, and can even be worn for work or weekend!
We all tend to lean on the neutrals because they are easy to wear, but once you find the right bright, this colorful look will fall into place..."a bold splash of color here and there is refreshing and it really makes a gal stand out in a sea of beige!" said Lilliana Vazquez author of Cheap Chica's Guide to Style blog.

White-out!
White on white sounds like a scary color combo, or lack thereof, but when worn correctly it can pop.
Mix and match these fun pieces to complete these looks!
