Spring is upon us and I couldn't be happier. Spring fashion is probably my second favorite season of fashion, behind fall of course. 2016 has brought some incredible fashion pieces to my attention for the warm springtime and I can’t help but share. These are some of my favorite spring fashion trends of 2016.

Flutter Tops

I work as a Brand Ambassador at Banana Republic so I get the privilege of seeing all the new trends in fast fashion as soon as they arrive. Lately at work we’ve been getting in TONS, and I mean tons, of flutter tops. These cute little t-shirts with fluttery sleeves are perfect for when I’m super lazy but still want to be cute. It’s literally a t-shirt with adorable sleeves, what's not to love?!

Overalls

Now, I may be from the South, but overalls have never been my thing. My mom loves to tell the story of when I was a kid and she put me in denim overalls and I cried and cried and refused to wear them. I knew my fashion even as a baby. This spring, though, that has changed. I think overalls are so cute if they’re worn right. Overall shorts with a Calvin Klein Sports Bra underneath or a light shirt and bralette just seems like the perfect combo for a hot day. Pair this with some cute sandals and you have an adorable on the run outfit!

Birkenstocks

These are not everyone's cup of tea, and I totally get that because, up until now, they weren't mine either. I still honestly think they’re kinda ugly, but I’m kinda into the whole ugly cute thing they have going on. I picked up my pair of Birkenstockson a whim. I was in Charleston on spring break and I had brought my mom's old pair from the 80’s with me. While frolicking on the beach they broke, so I picked up a new pair, because I was actually starting to like the other pair. This was seriously the best decision I made because I’m IN LOVE. I can throw on my ‘stocks with literally any outfit, and they actually offer really good arch support, too, which is good for people with high arches like mine.

Leotards

I am a big fan of tucking in my shirts to my shorts. Always have been, always will be. But I hate, hate, hate how my shirts get loose and bunch up and look baggy; it's not a cute look. Leotards have been my saving grace for this problem. I put one on, pull on some shorts and I’m ready to go. No hassle of tucking and no baggy shirts. Forever 21 has some great ones and they’re fabulous. My only problem with leotards is the struggle in the bathroom, but hey, beauty is pain.

Jeans with cuts on the back

Now this is probably the most daring trend to make this list, and I’ve only actually tried this trend with one pair of jeans, but I am obsessed. Basically, this trend is a pair of jeans with slits in the back at the tops of the thighs. I love this trend and I still haven't figured out why. I think it's so different and such a creative take on ripped jeans, and I am all about creative. Pairing this trend with a basic blouse and wedges has my heart. I can’t get over it. This isn’t a trend that I’ve seen in stores, it’s more of a DIY, so I’d recommend going to your local thrift store, picking up some jeans and trying this trend!
