Vibrant, bold colors may be a trend this season but let’s not forget about the gorgeous muted pastel colors that spring is typically known for. A spring staple, much in the vein of florals, pastels may not be a groundbreaking trend for the season but the soft, muted colors continue to stand the test of the trend cycle year after year. Take a look at some of the easiest ways to incorporate pastel colors into your spring wardrobe.

Printed Dress

A printed pastel spring dress is a refreshing way to update your seasonal wardrobe.

Pair With Neutrals

Pair your pastels with neutrals to downplay the sweetness of the soft colors.

Add Edgy Trends

Pair your pastel pieces with edgier trends, like the sheer trend or even leather, to create contrast.

Mix Printed Pieces

Find pieces in pastels in unexpected prints and go a step further by mixing printed pieces in the same color family.

Try a Pastel Suit

Combine two trends into one and pair pastel suit separates together.

Mint and Lilac

Mint and lilac are the breakout pastel colors this season. Pair them together with simple pieces, completing your outfit with effortless accessories.

Add Accessories

Eager to incorporate pastels but have a tendency to gravitate towards neutrals and dark colors? Add pastels to your accessories or even your hair color for a playful pop of spring color.

One of my favorite ways to gain outfit inspiration is through Instagram! Whether I am watching my favorite blogger’s latest shopping haul, scrolling through the feeds of my favorite retail stores or exploring a trend through a hashtag, I am always bound to find fresh outfit ideas that make me want to try something new with my style! With style inspiration in abundance and constantly at our fingertips (thank you social media), I went ahead pulled together some of my favorite spring-ready outfits, styled by some totally chic fashionistas, featuring their #CrossroadsFinds! These stylish women have found some trendy spring/summer-ready pieces at their local Crossroads and have totally inspired me to keep an eye out for similar styles the next time I do some shopping!

Crossroads Find: White framed Sunnies

Accessories can make or break an outfit, and it’s safe to say that Beatriz’s sunnies make this cute outfit even more perfect for soaking up that sunshine in!

Crossroads Find: White Booties

White footwear is hotter than ever this season and I love how how Kayla paired these chic and versatile booties with cut-off denim and a bodysuit. Also, these gorgeous booties are by Joie-such a style steal!

Crossroads Find: Bold T-Shirt

Charnele effortlessly shows us how to make a statement this season with a bold tee! A pop of color is the perfect way to spruce up the timeless denim/t-shirt combo!

No matter the season, you can always trust the neutrals in your wardrobe! Aisha scored this figure-flattering, beige colored top from Crossroads and I love how she played with proportions by pairing it with a wide leg trouser and heeled sandals!

Crossroads Find: Fringe

How fun is this leather fringe crossbody bag?! Rae’s outfit is right in line with the western trend this season!

Gone are the days when women had two swimsuit options for the beach: a bikini that left you feeling too exposed or a standard one-piece swimsuit that felt too covered up. Let’s be real – we’re all glad that one-piece swimsuits have stepped up their game over the past few years and have come out with such fun details and styles. Now, you can feel and look your best in a suit without feeling like you’re baring it all. Still not convinced that one-piece styles can’t be fashion forward? Scroll on for some swimsuit inspiration!

Here are 6 one-piece swimsuits that we can’t take our eyes off of:

Low-Back Details

Plunge head first and pick up a one-piece with some flirty details like a low-back.

Try Cutouts

Take a walk on the wild side and pick up a dramatic one-piece with cutout designs on the sides like Christine from Hello Fashion Blog!

Crisscross Details

We’d take any excuse to wear this one-piece with crisscross details in the front! Look for swimsuits with the underwire bra detail for extra support.

Dual Pattern Swimsuit

There’s no better way to make a statement than by wearing a swimsuit with dual patterns on it.

Halter Designs

I have to admit, cut-out one-pieces can be hard to pull off sometimes. However, when you find a halter piece like this one, you can’t say no!

Wear Solid Colors

If you’re searching for a swimsuit it that you can wear over and over, stick to pieces that come in solid colors! The best part? They can easily double as a bodysuit!

Bermuda shorts, or longer length shorts that are an inch or so above the knee, have been popping up all over my Instagram and blogroll lately and after doing a bit of research, I realized that it was a trend that went completely unnoticed by me this season. The controversial length of the shorts is not flattering on every body type, but the refreshing novelty of the style piqued my interest. Take a look at six ways to style Bermuda shorts for the spring season.

Transitional Spring

Pair longer length trouser shorts with a lightweight sweater and booties for the perfect transitional spring look.

Go Chic

Pair the longer length shorts with a structured top and blazer for a twist on a classic look.

Stay Classic

Style these shorts the same you would a pair of typical denim: tuck in your favorite blouse and add some slides for an effortless street style look.

Sporty Details

The long shorts lend themselves perfectly to an athleisure look. Pair them with a lightweight sweatshirt, belt bag, and sneakers for a simple weekend look.

Summer Getaway

Throw on a longer pair of shorts over your swimsuit or crop top during a summer getaway this year, whether poolside or oceanside, for maximum comfort.

Denim Daze

The denim on denim look is a classic and can be used as a go-to when you’re lacking inspiration.
