I get so excited about Spring! Nothing like the weather getting warmer, flowers blooming, and colorful fashion coming out, to put a pep in your step and a smile on your face! Plus some fun fashion in your closet, that you can rock from desk to dinner in a cinch!
While I’m not always into trends, I have to admit that Spring fashion trends are usually some of my favorites to wear to work. Here’s the not-so-low lowdown on these and how you can style them for major workwear impact:

Florals
Call me a flower child but florals (mot your grandma’s kind though) make me all fashion-happy…For spring at work, I prefer fresh floral dresses in classic cuts like this Donna Morgan flutter sleeve dress from Nordstrom. I also love this Lauren Ralph Lauren floral-print trapeze dress from Macy’s.
In different styles, I like this Victorian ruffle blouse from Target, and this midi pencil skirt, also from Target. And seriously, how elegant is this floral pleat back pencil skirt?

Stripes
Stripes are back in, and I couldn’t be happier! Love the Frenchy chic appeal of this classic trend that never really goes away, and can be declined in so many different styles…Like this Halogen stripe pencil skirt from Nordstrom, perfect to pair with pretty much everything! This stripe seersucker top is also great to pair with any bottom from the office to the week-end.
But my absolute favorite is nautical stripes! I love this Umgee nautical tee from Shoptiques, which is a great basic to have on hand! If you’re in the mood for splurging, this Carolina Herrera sleeveless dress in navy and white from Neiman Marcus is a lifetime investment.

Neons
Ok, you may be reading this and thinking: “Who in their right mind would sport neons at work?” Ok, I hear you, walking into work dressed in neon from head-to-toe can be a bit much! But I’m a big fan of breaking up a monochromatic or dark outfit with a bright pop of neon. Like with this adorable and spring-perfect luxurious cashmere travel wrap from White+Warren, or with this subtle but not so subtle Alexis Bittar petal frame pendant.

Not so-neutral Neutrals
One of my fave Spring trends is actually quite the classic! It’s the not-so-neutral neutral, kinda like the not-so-quiet quiet type. Yeah, that kind… These are statement pieces like your khaki trench that never ever goes out of style, for example this classic Burberry shell trench coat from Net-a-porter!
In other not-so-neutral neutrals, I also love this statement Akris suit from Bergdorf Goodman!
What are you favorite spring trends?
