Spring Trends of the Tacoma Types

How do you know Spring is here in Tacoma? Well, besides blooming cherry blossom trees and the seemingly bi-polar weather patterns with spots of sunshine, rain, hail or all three at the same time, there are always a few tell-tale signs that let us know that April showers will soon bring May flowers.

Flip Flops in the Rain
It never fails, the ladies see a glimmer of sun and the flips flops come out in full force!! It doesn't matter if it's pouring rain outside, if it's Spring we're wearing the one pair of many flip flops that matches our outfit of the day. Although the weather has warmed a little and there's no fear of frostbite, if we say our toes aren't cold, we're lying... they ARE cold. Who can deny a girl the opportunity to match her most comfortable accessory when we typically only get about 3 months out of the year to do so?!?

You know you've seen it and you quite possibly have done it. We don't blame you for taking advantage of the sunshine. If you get weird looks, it's not because we think you're crazy.... we're just jealous!!

Lighter and Vibrant Colors in Clothing
Flower prints, pastels and tank tops OH MY!!! Pantone named turquoise as the color of the year. They have, as well, interviewed top fashion designers and named the Spring color trends of 2010. If you take a gander at the top of this post, you'll see that the trend has moved away from the brash jewel tones of the past and are venturing toward a still bright and vibrant but more subdued color trend. These beautiful colors have been pegged as the colors fashion designers intend to use in their Spring fashion lines so if you haven't seen them gracing the racks of your favorite boutiques, you are sure to see them soon. We at Embellish can't wait to venture to some of our favorite shops and sift through the racks of vintage or otherwise keeping in mind colors like Aurora and Dried Herd.
