Spring 2006 Must Haves
It is amazing how fast the stores liquidate the winter clothing
lines. It is a great time of year to shop and get some great
deals. The sad part is, if you really need some new winter
clothes, you don't have much time to get them. Hitting all the
stores are all the spring lines. You will see plenty of a
feminine touch to very artful accessories. I love looking
feminine, remember the grunge look or clothes that looked like
men's clothes. Yuk! Lace is very big, applique accents are
plentiful, lots of straw handbags are everywhere and last but
not least, a big pom pom craze have attached themselves to all
accessories. What a mix!
This season is all about lace. I am talking about crocheted
cotton lace, the kind your great grandmother wore. Think of the
old doilies she used to make. Lace is on everything these days
from clothing, handbags and the rest of the accessories. You
will see handbags made out of it or adorned with it. It is made
into lightweight flowy scarves. Bangles are big and covered in
lace with matching necklaces and earrings. The necklaces have
lace beaded into it, beaded with lacey disk beads or lacey beads
themselves. It will not be hard to find a great shirt with lace
on the top and accessorize it with matching earrings, necklaces,
scarves or handbags. Use them tastefully together but don't go
overboard. A little of each goes a long way. Handmade is big in
this category so don't go looking only at stores; keep those art
shows in mind for that unique great find.
Accessories are very 3D with applique accents. Artfully done
handbags are covered with them. Shear scarves are hot and they
will have the applique accents on them as a new twist. It is
amazing how jewelry can jump in to any fashion item that is hot
and incorporate it into a fabulous piece. I have seen many
necklaces where flower appique's are beaded into them. You will
see a
crossover with lace here and the two will go so well
together. They are very vintage looking and very in.
Handbags, a favorite of mine, are hitting the shelves big time
in straw. Straw is always a favorite for the spring and summer
but this time you will see some new twists to the old standby.
There are many colors and weaves. Some fabulous styles are out
there. Look for not only straw, but leather and vinyl weaved
into a straw look will be big. Leather and vinal weaves look
like straw but are more durable. They are coming in many shapes,
sizes and colors. Contrasting handles, trims and applique's make
these a fabulous must have this season. Again, you will see a
crossover in this category with the applique's. Applique's are
covering straw handbags.
Along with the lace this season, you will see crochet
accessories with crocheted or fuzzy pom poms. They are all the
rage for the season. You will find crocheted or knit handbags
covered in pom poms. Handbags will also be accessorized in them.
Artful necklaces and scarves are made out of pom poms. Fabric or
crocheted belts have pom pom tasselson the ends of them. It is
endless pom poms frezy everywhere! I wouldn't doubt that there
will be plenty of tops with pom poms.
The weather may not be warm enough or the flower's and tree's
are not budding yet. One thing is for certain, the store's are
just blooming with the great spring lines. Have fun shopping and
get your lace, applique's, straw handbags and pom poms while
they are hot!
