You're tall and can wear those kind of things without looking stumpy... yes 5'4 is tall compared to my mere 5'2

[MsKipani]

There are a lot - wide leg pants/menswear influenced pieces being one
Others are ethnic prints, ombre prints, light denim, safari influenced pieces, feminine pieces, bright (primary) colors

I'm tall :grin: that's a new one!
Actually I feel tall nowadays, I don't know if people have shrinked or what. Maybe it's the heels :giggle:

So what are you wearing Ella? You're probably rocking the tight leg pants :yep:

Ethnic/Global is in once again too.
Those two are my favorite trends for 2008

[Leslie_C]

Im with u on the wide leg pants and colorful tops....give me some accessories and high heel sandals and a couple of cute bags and its a wrap.

Wide leg pants are my best friend and Im really glad they are back in style lol....its hard out here for someone who gives thick thighs a whole new meaning! Finally pands that fit...I got a cute pair of wide leg dark jeans from kohls, and a black and khaki pair from Ann Taylor Loft...all 3 of which I love love love.

[br0wney3z]

I am so excited about the wide leg pants trend this season even though I am 5'4 (I'll just be rocking 3-4 in heels and keeping it moving). I also love that bright colors are in, even though I think those never go out of style. And 'ethnic' prints have my name written all over it.

[SummerRain]

I did a blog here: http://ohsochicboutique.blogspot.com/ about Spring Trends...but you ladies are pretty much spot on

I :love: YaYa!

And LaRok, you can typically find in Loehman's. I've gotten a few LaRok tops there for like $60.

[IntelligenceisBeautiful]

Ballerina like clothing
The bohemic look
The "schoolboy" look....short of the boyish trand that's been around for awhile
I think floral is making a comeback

[MsKipani]

I know! Some things are more like classics than trends

[Nina_S]

I think shift dresses are another timeless essential for spring....

[caramelcutieinva]

I'll be buying

cap sleeve blouses
wide leg denim trousers
shirt dresses
sheath dress
colored patent wedges
pencil skirt

[MissVee]

Ladies,

I would love to wear wide leg pants but I am a big booty, big thighed, small waisted chick and I have never been able to find wide leg pants that look right.

I am a size 10/12, can you all suggest some stores that I can get some nice wide leg jeans or pants? Thanks Ladies!

[SleekandBouncy]

Platform shoes (hidden platform or visible) - holdover from last year
Color
Florals - esp. in silky chiffon like materials
Safari-esque clothing
Patent
Maxi dresses
More form fitting dresses - We're leaving the shapeless tent dresses behind and moving towards more form fitting styles so you may want to move your floaty mini dresses towards the mid-back of your closet (if so inclined)
Ruffles
Structured handbags - Same thing as with the bags, we're moving towards less slouchy styles and more structured shapes
Wide leg jeans
The high waist remains
"Bourgeoisie boho" - The term coined for this "new" interpretation of boho. I've always done this, as that I'm not fond of what I call hobo boho (ie. homeless hippy). Boho for spring is about looking like the rich cousin of that hippy. Ethnic prints, ethnic jewelry, luxe details and materials, etc. Bring out your gold bangles, your beaded earrings, your embellished sandals, and floaty tops
I'll be back with more later and pics. Must stuff face with food and finish reading the posts I missed.

[Blizzard]

According to InStyle:

Goddess Dresses
Layered Sheer Fabric
BOHO
Floral Prints
Colors, Colors, Colors
