5 Spring Trends to Master

Spring is a beautiful time of the year. Even though we don't have spring here in the Philippines, I have made a habit out of looking closely at spring trends because they are suited for our tropical climate. Spring pieces are light, easy to wear and could be easily transitioned for day-to-night wear. This year, I have been paying particular attention to new trends because the hubby and I are planning a Southeast Asian trip sometime in the summer. These light spring pieces are definitely going to serve me well when I take on the tropical weather in these destinations. Fingers crossed.

Going back to the spring trends, here is a breakdown of the top trends for Spring 2016 and a few items I've dug up for you:

Mint and Blue

Pastel colors make me happy. Whether it's mint, peach or blush, I always try to incorporate these shades into my wardrobe and everyday style. Aside from the fact that they give me that happy vibe, they are also highly versatile and can work with several different colors. One of my favorite ways to wear my favorite colors is to go for the monotone look, specifically pairing two items of the same color but of different shades or hues for my outfit. 

This cobalt pencil skirt I got from Persunmall has been a good investment piece. My favorite way to wear it is with sweater tops or long sleeved tops, like this new one from For Me. The sheer simplicity of the top belies the style statement it makes. I decided to throw in my pink necklace to add some dose of fun into the look.

Vacation Style: Part 2

On our second day at Dahilayan Adventure Park, I sported pastel colors and I just loved how comfortable this ensemble is. The shorts might look familiar; it's because I've done a post about it here. I got it from SheInside.com and is one of my favorite purchases from the website apart from this lovely maxi dress. But I digress... I loved the pairing of color with the coral shorts and the mint top. I also added in my new floral scarf to create a layering effect to this look. 

Aside from the fun marriage of pastel colors in this look, this outfit served its purpose for me. It was comfortable enough for me to wear on a few zip line rides and for hiking around the park. I would not compromise comfort, not even for the sake of style.
