I am so happy that it is finally a new year. This transitional time always motivates me to start fresh by clearing out the old to make way for the new in so many aspects of my life. It sure feels like this is more important this year than ever!
Read moreWho What Wear Feature: The Spring Trends We're Loving
The warmer winter weather this year has me thinking that it’s the perfect time to make room in my closet for some of the newest spring fashion! In a recent article for Who What Wear, “We’re in Our 50s, and These Are the 10 Spring Trends We'll Wear the Most,” my blogging BFF Janet Gunn and I once again do our best to take the guess-work out of how to style some of our favorite budding trends as we say hello to spring!
Yep, it’s almost time to put away our teddy coats and boots in favor of all the looks we started coveting way back in September, when Fall Fashion Week gave us a sneak peek of what was to come in late March when spring officially arrives.
As women in our 50’s we’ve learned that when it comes to trends, it’s best to pick and choose. Just like deciding on the right diet or hairstyle, a girl has to decide what works for her, not for her sister, bff or favorite super model.
Since there’s a lot of fun fashion on the horizon, we’ve done our best to sift through it to share our short-list of favorites that you may want to flirt with. Below you’ll find the Spring 2020 looks we’ll be embracing with open arms; giving you inspo to start preparing your closet for warmer temps and these hot new trends!
Full Bloom
Florals
Spring has sprung and flowers are definitely blooming in the fashion world! Have some fun styling this blossoming look with a trending western bootie or loafer.

Dy-No-Mite!
60’s and 70’s Vibe
The 60’s are back…and, so are the 70’s! Wallpaper prints, patterned midi’s and flowy fabrics all have us feeling groovy.

White Out
White is Red Hot
Got White? Wear this non-color, color from head to toe and channel a fresh, clean vibe, or add just a slight touch of white to your look with an accent shoe or handbag.

Inside Out
Lingerie As Outerwear
Lingerie as outerwear is going to be everywhere. You won’t find us sporting midriff baring bra tops, but we will be embracing this trend in our 50-something way. Pair a slip dress with a white sneaker and chunky cardigan (both are two more big trends for spring) or wear a feminine cami with trending white bottoms.

The Scoop on Sherbet
Pastels and Sherbet Colors
Pops of color will be seen everywhere this spring, but so will the softer shades. The sherbet and pastel side of the color wheel have definitely captured our attention and are kind to most skin tones.

Top Tier
Tiered Dresses and Skirts
Long or short, multiple tiers or just a couple, this is the perfect flirty trend to usher in springtime’s playful feel.

Let’s Polka!
Polka Dot Patterns
Marc Jacobs once said “There is never a wrong time for a polka dot”, and we couldn’t agree more.

Scarves
The scarf is having a moment. Whether tied around your ponytail, or worn on your head to hide a bad hair day, this accessory is working over-time this spring.

Flower Power
Decorative Pins and Brooches
We noticed this accessory started making a comeback a couple years ago, but for Spring 2020 they are in full bloom as flower pins are seen planted on tops, sweaters and jackets.

In the Bag
Structured Bags
Whether it’s itsy-bitsy, boxy, a sling or framed, there’s a bag for everyone this season. We love the modern take of these structured bags shown in trending white and fun, full transparency!
