Spring 2013 Trends: Florals, Stripes and Fluroesce

This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

Online shopping is the window shopping of the 21st century (except much, much easier to actually buy things, thanks to the ability to save your credit card # on your computer #girlproblems).

Target made my online shopping even easier with a video they recently posted (see below) of their Spring trends — it’s an interactive shopping experience! It got me SO excited for it to get warm enough for florals and bright colors that I made a wish list of everything I want to magically appear in an a box at my front door…

 

First stop: Florals. For whatever reason, I tend not to like myself in busy prints on top, but love them in skirts. The Xhilaration Circle Skirt was an instant win for me. It’s $17.99, would look great with a white v-neck (of which I have way too many as it is), and if I love the fit (which I’m sure I will) I can buy any more of the 4 other prints it comes in. Do you see my shopping issue now?

The next trend in the video was fluoresce and the Mossimo Frayed Dip Dye Shorts immediately caught my eye. I can’t even decide what color I like best. Purple is my favorite color, the orange is so perfectly spring-ish, and the green is just so fun. What do you think?


Up next are stripes — and boy do I love stripes. The Merona Pullover Sweater is perfect for a lazier and cooler spring day. And while my sister would say I have enough blue and white stripped sweaters, I say you can never really have enough.

Finally with all my new clothes, I definitely need new makeup. I’ve long been a fan of Sonia Kashuk® Satin Luxe Lip Color and I feel like Nude Pink would look so pretty with many of these outfits!

Now that you’ve seen my wish list AND the Target video, what trends do you want to incorporate into your Spring wardrobes? Let me know by leaving a comment below!
