After those long and polarizing winter months we’ve just experienced, I couldn’t be more excited that sunny days are up ahead! Mark your calendars because next week, March 20th to be exact, marks the first day of spring!
Spring sure is beautiful with its fresh blooms and bright skies; however the weather is still quite unpredictable at times, making it a bit difficult to whip out those sundresses and tank tops just yet. That’s why I’ve come up with a simple list of wardrobe essentials that will help make the transition between the seasons both an easy and stylish one for your wardrobe!

Knee-High Boots

Those knee-high boots that you wore all winter long with skinny jeans are perfect for throwing on with a short and flirty dress this spring season. They will instantly elevate any outfit you pair them with, not to mention they are an innovative way to keep your legs warm too!

The Classic Blazer

Blazers are great for adding a hint of sophistication to your outfits, plus they are typically pretty lightweight making them ideal for springtime layering. I am just loving how Celeste paired her Crossroads blazer over a feminine maxi dress for the perfect transitional look! Talk about a #Crossroadsfind!

Wide-Leg Denim

70’s inspired and totally chic, wide leg denim is a transitional staple you can count on for year-round wear. These jeans are great for throwing on with a simple tee and heels for a spring outing with friends!

Cozy Sweaters

Don’t put away your cozy winter sweaters just yet! Switch things up and try wearing your favorite sweater with a lightweight and an a-line spring skirt for a chic and romantic flair! Just add a pair of cute heels and fun jewelry and you’ll be set!

Move over feminine florals; spring is less than a month away and we are lusting after bold and fierce animal prints here at Crossroads! Before we introduce you to some of spring’s fiercest patterns, let’s take a moment and give credit to one of the most beloved and timeless prints that is definitely at the root of one of 2019’s biggest trends: leopard print. Leopard print has proven, time and time again that it is here to stay. Luxurious, eye-catching and versatile, this print has been a staple in wardrobes for decades!

Now that spring is around the corner, we are starting to see more predators come out of the jungle and make their presence known in the world of fashion! From sultry snakeskin to contrasting zebra stripes, these wild patterns are starting to find their way into our spring wardrobes and we couldn’t be more obsessed! We’ve been seeing animal prints galore on the gram lately, so we’ve rounded up some stylish, yet wearable ways to incorporate this trend into your spring line-up!

Hear Me Roar

What do you get when you mix one of spring’s hottest colors, marigold yellow, with a wild tiger print?! The perfect, trendy skirt! We love how this statement piece is balanced out with a simple white tee!

Team Slytherin

I’m not usually one for snakes IRL, but I am definitely a fan of these reptile printed booties! Adding animal print to your footwear line-up is a stylish way to incorporate some texture into any look!

Zebra, The New Neutral

If you’re a fan of monochromatic tones, then zebra-print is definitely worth a try! Unleash your inner wild child by pairing this versatile, black and white print with a pop of color!

Keep in Classic

At the end of the day, this print will always have a special place in our hearts, and in our wardrobes! Since spring weather can still be a bit unpredictable, wear a glam, printed winter coat over some jeans and a simple tank for a fail-proof look!

Be sure to let us know what prints from the animal kingdom you’re loving for spring and don’t forget to tag your wild #CrossroadsFinds on Instagram!

When it comes to warm weather fashion, one thing always rings true—floral prints will always be in style! Get inspired by these outfits that all feature florals front and center, and recreate your favorite one for yourself:

Feed your love for all things feminine and frilly by pairing pastel floral pants with a wrap top in a similar shade.

We’re loving that the focal point of this denim jacket is its floral print. Needless to say, you can throw it on top of a neutral-colored sweater and you’re all set!

Running errands this upcoming weekend? Opt for a cute off-the-shoulder floral top and your favorite pair of skinny jeans for an on-trend look that couldn’t be easier.

This poppy print skirt makes for a show-stopping look!  Pair it with a black top to let the bold print shine.

Give shape and edge to a romantic, floaty high-low dress by cinching it with a belt.

Transition your brunchtime maxi dress into a flirty date-night outfit by throwing a leather jacket on top.

The weather is warming up and stores are switching over to their spring and summer lines. This year, it’s all about fun, bold, and quirky pieces, including shoes. Are you more of a lace-up girl or a funky flatform one? These trends may not be entirely new, but they have been reinvented for 2017. Put a little ‘spring’ in your step and take a look at this year’s top spring shoe trends.

All Wrapped Up

Lace-up sandals and heels will be everywhere this season and are such a fun alternative to a traditional flat or heel.

The Flatform

Give your feet a break while keeping the boost of a heel. The flatform shoe is back and better than ever.

Kitten Heels

The return of this trend may garner mixed reactions. From sandals to booties, stilettos to block, the ’80s kitten heel is back and will either be loved or hated.

Slides, Slippers, and Sandals

2017 fashion is looking like it’ll be made up of the most comfortable trends, and that includes shoes. Slides, slippers, and sandals will make your feet happy while you stay on trend.
