I’m particularly excited about our fourth and last trend installment this week, because these three trends feel really fresh for the season. What was your favorite trend of the series? Let me know!
Enjoy!

Raffia
Raffia is an easy one to integrate into your wardrobe. Hint: buy some fabulous platforms or earrings! Hopefully we will be needing handbags again one of these days, but in the meantime earrings are probably a surer bet. All the better to look trendy on Zoom. If you buy one spring shoe, let it be a fabulous pair of raffia platforms.

Retro Prints
How much do you love these retro sixties and seventies prints? I can’t wait to wear the vintage 2-piece printed outfit I bought in Asheville! Out of my house hopefully. If not, I will totally rock it for you on Instagram or on Zoom. Promise. House dresses and comfy pants were made for these prints.

Hobo Bags
We haven’t seen Hobo bags in a looong time. They are the opposite of the structured lady bags we’ve all been carrying. I’m not sure I’m there yet. I mean, of course I love the giant Bottega Veneta option below, but I’m not sure about going back to this for every day. They are still feeling so out of date and heavy to me. My eye hasn’t adjusted yet. How about you?
