Embracing Spring Trends

Many of you have expressed an interest in trying out some of the popular spring trends but aren’t sure if they will work for you.  I personally believe that fashion is meant to be fun (and part of that is trying new things), but I don’t think anyone should feel that they have to blindly follow trends in order to look stylish.  I always think there’s a tasteful way to incorporate a few key pieces into your wardrobe to create chic everyday looks that aren’t over-the-top and that still feel like you!

So, today I’m talking about spring’s most wearable trends & highlighting the best affordable finds for the season from JCPenney.  You all know what a big fan I am of shopping at their store – I love that I can find high-quality, stylish pieces…not just for me, but for the whole family!  My daughter loves the Belle + Sky brand (these leggings are her favorite) and I’ve bought so many Arizona pieces for my son because their t-shirts and shorts fit him great & actually hold up through multiple washes (and he is really hard on clothes!).

I appreciate that they’re always having some kind of a sale and that I can use my JCP card to earn rewards dollars towards future purchases.  I definitely gravitate towards the a.n.a brand most, but I’ve also discovered some great pieces by simply browsing through their new arrivals.  This is one of the first places I look when I’m building my Steals Under $30 posts because everything is budget-friendly.  Right now you can get an extra 20% off any purchase or an extra 25% off when you spend $100 or more with code SPRING9!  Here are two looks that I put together featuring my favorite trends (everything on sale now!):

gingham pants

GINGHAM & RUFFLES

I’ve mentioned here before how popular gingham is for spring – it’s always been a classic print, but when mixed with other trends, it gives it more of a modern, updated feel.  The fit of these pants is absolute perfection & they are so comfortable (I can never resist an elastic waist!).  I typically don’t wear printed bottoms, but thanks to the small scale of this pattern, these don’t feel too loud.  I paired them with this pretty one-shoulder top that almost looks and feels like silk because I thought the ruffled accents gave it a more feminine vibe. You could also layer a trench coat on top to make it a bit more sophisticated – this one is a steal!  More gingham pieces to check out include this wrap dress, these mules & this tie-front top (bought & love – recommend sizing up).

FLORALS & SMOCKING

In all honesty, I was originally going to buy this top in the striped version & pair it with these white jeans and these metallic sandals, but I decided to step outside my comfort zone a bit & go for the floral print instead.  I’m super-picky when it comes to florals but the colors & placement are so pretty on this one that I couldn’t resist.  Thanks to the smocked neckline, you can also wear this off-the-shoulder and I’d layer this utility jacket on top for cooler evenings.  If you’re on the hunt for comfortable wedges, I would highly recommend these espadrilles, which came home with me.  And this lace dress would be a gorgeous option for Easter!
