Wearing: bold green and gold earrings / YSL lipstick / white ruffle top (under $20!!) / gold watch / Christian Louboutin spring nail polish / asymmetrical striped skirt / Mansur Gavriel handbag (in stock here) / Kendra Scott spring ring / Gucci slides

One of the biggest trends on the runways for spring was the asymmetrical hemline. Since this type of hemline isn’t common on the streets, I was wondering how to wear asymmetrical hemlines for spring 2017. I decided it needed to be done by taking the overall look down a notch; hence runway to the street.

In order to take this wrap skirt, with an asymmetrical waist and hemline, down to the street, I paired it with a simple ruffle tee. The addition of flat slides also helped to make the overall look more understated. It was really easy and comfortable to wear! I wore this outfit for the first time when I took my daughter to her chess class, hung out at a coffee shop with the other Mom’s from the class, took my daughter out for a sushi lunch, picked up my glasses, took a walk; basically ran errands!

It was really easy to walk around in these slides, and the outfit was perfect for the nice spring weather we are having here in the San Francisco Bay Area. We were in San Jose when we took these pictures at Santana Row. My cute little ten-year-old daughter took these photos. She did quite well! She might know her way around a DSLR camera better then me!

So what do you think of the asymmetrical hemline trend for the spring season? Have you been wondering how to wear asymmetrical hemlines this spring season, or does the trend appear too daunting?

The easiest way to bring asymmetrical hemlines from the runway to reality is by pairing them with something simple such as plain tee, a ruffle tee, or crew-neck top; even a button down, crisp white shirt will do the trick. When you mix basic with abstract you can amp up a simple outfit, or bring a runway art piece to the street.

Wearing: Ivory tassel earrings / YSL lipstick / pale pink ruffle shirt (under $30) / Cult Gaia Ark bag / boyfriend jeans (old, also love this pair)  / black watch / Kendra Scott ring / Gucci spring nail polish / pale pink wedges (under $175)

No-one can deny, ruffles are a huge trend for the spring 2017 season. We saw them on the runways, and then they took the streets by storm. Of course the ruffle trend did not just start now, it started a few seasons ago, and this season is has exploded beyond belief!

It seems as if everywhere I turn this spring season I see ruffles! It is almost like they are chasing me around! Well, I love ruffles for spring, and I am happy they are everywhere! There is something carefree and fun about ruffles. They are playful and light; making any outfit fabulous and fun at the same time. Love!

I was so thrilled to find this pale pink blouse for under $30. Not only does it offer a carefree silhouette, it has ruffles! Oh the fun of it! My daughters love it too, they think it is so much fun. It is really comfortable with my loose fitting boyfriend jeans. This has turned into my go-to casual look for spring when I want to feel comfortable yet pulled together.

Spring is here! This means I am starting to think about vacations; both spring break and summer. It would be so nice to find a beach somewhere and sleep on it for a whole week! My kids schedules are wearing me out, I need a huge nap!

This maxi dress from OhConcept is perfect for my current mood. It has a vacation vibe, yet can easily be worn here in the San Francisco Bay Area at home. I wore this dress the other day to have lunch with my kids in downtown Saratoga, at the library, and to run errands. It was really comfortable, and made my day seem a little bit lighter since I felt like I was dressed for a beach getaway! Love that!

This dress by OhConcept is made from a lightweight jersey fabric and has a fun, open back. There is also a tie at the waist which adds a nice silhouette to the dress, as well as a fun little tassel on the side. Love it!

I cannot wait to plan a beach getaway and wear this dress non-stop while on vacation. It is the perfect vacation outfit idea for spring break or a summer getaway! This dress is also fabulous to wear right now, and well into the summer months, right here at home. It will be fun to wear casually with sandals or espadrilles, or pair with heels for a dressier look. Love this dress!

You can find this beautiful maxi dress by OhConcept online here, and you can find the entire OhConcept collection online at OhConcept.com. You will love their collection, they have so many fashionable, casual options which are perfect to wear right now! Love!
