You might still be throwing on your coat and scarf when you head off to work in the morning, but spring is just around the corner. You know what that means – it’s time to update our wardrobes to reflect the hottest new spring trends! One thing we’ve learnt from New York Fashion Week is that Spring 2014’s motto is: think pink. From geranium to cantaloupe, we’ve picked out four pink outfits you can mix and match to get this season’s most sought after look.
1. Spring Fashion: Pretty in Pastels
When you’re looking to expand your spring wardrobe, a pastel dress is a must have. Not only are pastels a spring fashion trend that blossoms again every year, but they’re also perfect to mix and match with. A lovely pastel dress can be paired with soft colours and light accessories for a cute daytime look or combined with a black bolero and tights for a sophisticated evening ensemble.
The Emerald Sundae Junior’s Lace Surplice Dress (Macy's - $59) is a great example of a fantastically feminine pastel dress. The floral white bodice embraces winter’s lace trend, while the pleated pink skirt lends the look a touch of preppiness. Ideal for a lunch date or a walk in the park, this elegant spring dress should be paired with a set of nude shoes. The FERGALICIOUS Adele flats (Famous Footwear - $24.99) are a cute and comfortable option that comes with gorgeous pink bow detailing on the toe. Let’s face it, who wants to be hobbling around in heels every day?
Up the cute factor of this spring fashion look with a trendy pink handbag. We particularly love the B-Collective by Buxton Angelina Convertible Clutch (Kohl’s - $69) for its mix and match potential. By day, this textured, creamy pink number can be worn as a convenient crossbody bag, but when you need to glam up for the evening, it seamlessly converts to a stylish clutch.
No spring dress is complete without accessories. Finish your look with a delicate necklace or bracelet. As the Emerald Sundae dress sports a v-neckline, draw attention to your sensual collarbones and neck with a medium hanging necklace. This Sterling Silver Bird Pendant (Target - $19.99) is a lovely choice, as birds are evocative of both new life and spring.

2. Spring Fashion: Pretty in Pink
The second of our trendy pink outfits is for ladies who want to create a light spring fashion look with a touch of preppiness about it. Start with a cute, subtly patterned dress in a soft peach colour. The BCX Belted Polka Dot Print Dress (Macy’s - $49.99) is a perfect option for those warmer spring days. Hitting just above the knee, it sports girly and playful polka dots which add interest and a sense of fun to the dress without compromising its elegance. The bow applique on the bodice lends the whole ensemble a beautiful feminine flair.
For this look, choose a pair of patent leather pumps in a neutral colour. Nude shoes are a huge spring fashion trend for 2014. The Aerosoles Red Hot Pumps (Famous Footwear - $78.99) in antique white are no exception and the two inch kitten heels are just enough to elongate your legs without being uncomfortable to walk in.
Add to the elegance of your dress with a bag that’s stylish enough to make your friends jealous: the Calvin Klein Geneva Pebble Demi Shoulder Bag (Macy’s - $168). The classic quilting gives the bag sophisticated appeal while the off-white colour makes it ideal to mix and match with all your white and pink outfits. The size? Very intuitive – just big enough for your essentials without looking clunky.
Tie everything together with this Sterling Silver Opal Flower Necklace (Amazon - $66). Flowers are evocative of spring and this simple but chic design matches the colour scheme of your outfit brilliantly.

3. Spring Fashion: Passionate in Pink
The last bite of winter can sometimes last well into March, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait to adopt the hottest spring fashion trends. One of the must-have items of spring 2014 is a versatile trench or pea coat. Consider a good quality coat a future investment, as it’s a vital item to mix and match with, all year round. The Tommy Girl Double-Breasted Bow Pea Coat (Macy’s - $36.30) ticks all our boxes. Not only is it on crazy post-winter sale, but it comes in a stunning and super trendy French rose colour. Ornate buttons and strategically placed bows add feminine charm and style.
For an extra girly look, wear your pea coat with a flattering pencil skirt. But it you’re looking for an easy, casual ensemble, a pair of jeans is the way to go. The Levi’s 512 Perfectly Slimming Bootcut Jeans (Kohl’s - $54) come in a smart black wash and are expertly tailored for a proportion balancing fit.
For shoes, slip on some chic black boots. If you’re wearing jeans or planning on doing a lot of walking, pick a small, wedged heel for comfort. However, if you opt to wear your pea coat with a skirt or simply love that long-legged look, the FERGALICIOUS Regal Booties (Famous Footwear - $34.99) in faux suede will give you some serious height and style on a slender heel.
Bold pink outfits deserve equally bold nail polish. Essie’s She’s Pampered (Beauty.com - $8.50) is a daring dark fuchsia that’ll look fab against the backdrop of your hot pink coat.

4. Spring Fashion: Perfect in Pink
Spring fashion trends aren’t just for ladies under size eight. If you’ve got a full figure but still want to rock pink outfits this season, take advantage of all the empire waisted shirts on the market right now. Pink and white polka dots are set to be a big spring trend, so a great example of a stylish empire top is the Polka Dot Empire Top (Torrid - $38.50). Cinching in at the waist and then skimming over the hips, it creates an unbelievably flattering shape. Better yet, you can mix and match it with anything from jeans to chinos.
Because a top with an empire waistline flares out, it looks best when paired with jeans that accentuate your legs. Skip your usual bootleg jeans in favour of the Torrid Denim Medium Wash Skinny Jeans (Torrid - $58.50). Made with larger ladies in mind, these chic jeans will cling in all the right places to create a streamlined silhouette.
Sandals are another spring staple. Try to select a pair that are both glam and heeled to give the illusion of more slender legs. Check out the Franco Sarto Suzy Wedges (Famous Footwear - $40) for inspiration. These white sandals sport a stylish braided t-strap, practical cork wedges and comfortable insoles for a smooth gait.
The sexy v-neckline of your Polka Dot Empire Top begs to be drawn attention to, so complete the look with a Sterling Silver Tree Station Necklace (Target - $19.99). Again, our accessory choice harkens back to nature in a gorgeous representation of spring fashion.
