Since you know I’m not THE fashion expert, I decided to go straight to the professionals—Andrea Chila, owner of Pileggi Boutique in Philadelphia and her awesome manager, Kellen Kredatus to find out what’s hot for spring. Not only do they help teach my clients how to find clothes that work best for their bodies, they also encourage ME to get out of my box. Let me translate that into English—they actually get me to try on (and sometimes BUY) DRESSES!
For spring, there are some definite looks you’ll want to incorporate into your wardrobe. Some of these looks definitely will be “throw-backs” to many of my friends. There are some dynamic combinations that may raise your eyebrows – but don’t be too quick to judge.
Pattern Play
Pattern Play:
It’s time to let your inner artist out! Go for some cool combinations—ones I’ve never thought of before. Try mixing a bold pattern print with a striped jacket! Sounds odd, but it works…really!
Or try this beautiful floral top, cinched at the waste, with a gorgeous pink jacket to top it off.
Clean Energy:
I love this look (and the name). It’s sleek and has simple lines—with a feminine take on tailoring. Think Jackie O. Try a crisp white blazer like this one.

Notice that it doesn’t look like your typical white blazer—this one definitely says I’m a woman and I look great! The beautiful gold buttons gives it a bit of a nautical look (yes, nautical is back).
Game Theory:
Designers have been getting some great tips from sports. Active wear has had a HUGE influence on the clothes this spring. They’ve taken cool materials (such as vinyl and tech) and created outstanding pieces—like this sexy evening trench made of tech.

This material is awesome (I have a couple pieces).
It packs well, it’s pretty much stain-resistant and the BEST part for me is that dog hairs don’t stick to it. Not a one!

Wow where can I find these bright and beautiful clothes? My closet is full of black and white. I guess I’m in a box too except with no dog hairs! Can’t wait for your next blog.
Love it! Mixing patterns sounds like a blast from the past…guess it’s time we give it a try! Let’s have fun shopping! Thanks for the info!
I love the pattern mixing but it never turns out quite right for me. I look like a total idiot. I’ll give it another try and will try to mimic the example you give.
Love the blog, Molly. Looking forward to more posts!!
