Fabulous guest blogger and fashionista Charlotte Lamb from Styling out The School Run tells Perfection all we need to know about spring's latest trends! What will you be wearing?
I hope that you all had a fabulous Valentine's Day whatever you did and whatever you wore doing it! I can't believe that we are already into March. Spring is slowly but surely crawling into view and the stores are beginning to shake away those January sales cobwebs which can mean only one thing...It’s time to start thinking about which trends are going to be big this season. So, grab a coffee and your credit card let’s get shopping...
Shoulder Details
This was a trend that became popular last spring/summer and it continues to reign supreme on the high street this season. Dresses, tops and shirts are all getting the 'cold shoulder treatment' with cut outs and Bardot styles being highly coveted.
When wearing something off the shoulder it can be limiting in regards to underwear. I suggest using the Perfection Secrets Silicone Nipple covers if you are going bra-free, alternatively give the illusion of being strapless with the fantastic Clear Bra Straps.

Gingham
The gingham trend is still going strong but this season we see it branch out into a variety of colour options. No longer just the black and white check there is now a lot of red/white or blue/white gingham available in the stores.
Wear it casual and floaty to keep your ensemble up to date.

Pop of Colour
Colour is huge this spring and summer. Go brighter, bolder and clash the colours for ultimate impact with this trend. If you enjoy your fashion to be less attention grabbing then try just introducing a pop of colour with a pair of coloured jeans and keep the rest of the outfit simple. Alternatively use accessories to add a splash of colour to a muted ensemble.

Embroidery
This is another trend which is spilling over from last year, this season we see more detail and a stronger folk vibe to the embroidery. Zara have brought out a stunning grey version of their incredibly popular red folk dress from last summer and it is sure to be a sell-out.
Again this is a trend you can do head to toe or simply add a dash of it via your accessories or one embroidered piece of clothing.
