Spring Fashion Alert: Bright Colors for Kids

Spring Fashion Alert: Bright Colors for Kids.

What kinds of colors? Oranges and yellows!

The color orange is popping up all over the place this spring. I'm not too surprised, orange is such a beautiful color. It's full of energy and brightness. Who wouldn't want to dress their child in some oranges? What I love about seeing the color orange is that it exudes happiness. You can't help but look at the color and feel a little more relaxed, a little more happy and a little more cheerful!The color yellow is just amazing! Yellow, like the sun... it so gets you in the mood for spring and summer. Yellow is the brightest color of all... it just soothes and comforts. I love the color yellow because it brings a sense of fun and excitement to an outfit. It adds some dimension and freshness. You don't have to dress your child in yellow from head-to-toe, just add some splashes and dashes here and there.

Trendy Children's Clothes: Tie Dye

Spring 2010 has many fun trends for children's clothes.  I'm in favor of kids experimenting with color and print.  So it's a great time to talk about one of the more whimsical trends this spring--tie dye. 80s trends are still so cool and we think this is the perfect time to try tie-dye fashions for kids.  Let's see how a few designers are interpreting this trend. From Riley, I'm loving the Alligator Tie Dye Racer Tank ($53)

From California the collection from T bags feels fresh and California cool. In addition to fabulous ready to wear, the line includes fashions for expecting moms, and children.  How about this easy two-piece set for your little guy!

And we just love the way Ralph Lauren combines tie-dye and a classic preppy staple to this shirt.

Think you can do it yourself? We say go for it! Here is a link to a tie-dye with kids from Parents.com.  We've done it at our house and it's a blast--but messy.  Have fun making fashion this spring.

Spring Fashion Trends for Moms

It's MARCH! Finally! How good does that sound? I can exactly "feel" it in the air... but, I can really tell it's almost Spring by the fact that Little League sign-ups have begun, there's talk of Easter and I just got the notice that Spring break is the 3rd week of April. For some reason - I'm very, very (very) excited!

In being a fashion mom blogger... I have been researching Spring Fashions for Moms. We all want to look good and feel good... right?

So what are some upcoming SPRING TRENDS FOR MOMS?

Here are my some of my FAVORITE:

CHINOS - So easy to wear... you can dress Chinos up, you can dress Chinos down... and you can just have some FUN with them! I love doing a little roll on the bottom of my Chinos and pairing with some fabulous heels. It just really screams "SPRING!" to me.

Shirtdresses -I love Shirtdresses! I haven't owned one for a few years... but after seeing so many grace the pages of top fashion magazines, I'm definitely investing in one! I love how this look can go from work to play very easily by accessorizing. It's chic. It's a hip look. And it's a very classic look.

Ruffle, Ruffle -They're still in - RUFFLES! What I have been seeing a lot of is ruffle on the front of tanks... and I really think it's a delicate, yet trendy look that works. This tank could easily be worn with jeans, chinos, skirts and trouser pants. This gives an outfit some FUN!

COLORFUL Flips -Colorful flip flops seem to be a big trend! It's a little fun to mix and match things up a bit. I'm not usually one to go with any other color than black and white... so I think I am going to "liven" my flip flop selection up a bit with some yellows and pinks.

BIG and BOLD BAGS -Big and Bold Bags are going to be HOT this year! Moms need to stuff lots of stuff in their bags... so big and bold is a fun way to go! What I love about the bold colors is that it really screams SPRING and ENERGY and WARMTH!
