What’s hot for spring 2013?
Posted on: January 24, 2013
Black and white and red all over – stripes, dots, patterns!
Bold jewel tones in shocking blue, sunny yellow, screamin’ lime green, tangy tangerine, shocking hot pink. Colour blocking is back, as are solids and graphics.
Be prepared to step out with bold confidence this spring. How do mature women interpret spring’s great looks?
- Choose stripes for top or bottom, but not both.
- Stripes are best on the area you are most confident.
- Be conscious of how the stripes lie on your body. Very curvy women may look better in skinny stripes than broad stripes.
- Balance your prints with bold solids.
- Minimize accessories so they don’t compete with the patterns.
Most of all, enjoy the coming warm weather.
Can’t wait for spring?

For many, it’s already been a long winter. Snow came early in Alberta and wearing warm sweaters and multiple layers is getting old.
While we won’t see spring here any time soon, there are some easy ways to channel spring into your winter wardrobe. Try some of these ideas:
- Wear bright colours, or at least a pop of colour, to brighten what can otherwise be a dark winter wardrobe. Fun, flirty scarves or bright tops under jackets can bring a hint of spring to a cold day.
- Find fun nail polish colours that lift your spirits. Bright pinks, oranges and fun nail art can help you feel spring-like, even on dark winter days.
- Change up your fragrance to a lighter scent. Citrus notes, for example, can remind us of warm summer days.
- Lighten up your make-up. We tend to use a heavier hand in the winter… remember the warm summer days ahead and reflect that in your look.
- Lastly, many boutiques are starting to receive spring stock. Check out the beautiful fashions arriving in stores now.
These are simple steps to help you cope through the final weeks of winter. Enjoy!
