    if this is the new treat call me outdated, I will not wear this look, did not like it in the 6o’s and still do not like it now. WOW I guess I have a strong opinion about this one. Thanks for sharing Karen.

      I understand–just trying to show all the trends showing up this spring but we don’t have to embrace every one! I will have a follow-up post on this topic with more photos. You never know–you may change your mind!

    When I saw the photos I thought “wasn’t this the trend in the 60′s?” I guess your first commenter had the same thought! I have an open mind. Still deciding if I like it but thanks Karen for sharing the trend for spring. I do like that orange/tangerine is a hot color. I can embrace that!

    Thanks for highlighting this trend Karen! As you know, I wear very few styles with patterns. Color Blocking is a perfect trend for patterned challenged people like me. Since I am the jewelry fashionista I love all the bold and colored jewelry accessories for spring. These outfits are the perfect pairing. I do realize that if you have lived this trend in the 60′s you would rather not revisit it. I feel the same about the 80′s. I’m not going to revisit neons. Another big Spring trend.
