Spring Stripes

Mimi & Red top, pants and glasses // Zara shoes (similar here and here) // Pianegonda ring

Right after returning from NYFW I attended an event at Mimi & Red in North Park, San Diego.  A contemporary boutique with a SoCal vibe and insane accessories collection, they have two locations – the other being in Bird Rock.  Last week I returned after a tea date at Holy Matcha to take a look at their spring line-up.  Immediately after laying eyes on these 70’s era glasses, I knew I had to have them.  At only $12, they were a total steal and haven’t left my face since.

If you’ve been reading In Spades for a while you know I’m a big fan of statement pants.  This spring I’ve been leaning more towards the high waisted, wide leg variety over skirts, so these totally fit the bill.  Paired with a striped crop top I felt just like Gwen Stefani, sans red lipstick.

Surprisingly my favorite trends for spring have been rather unspring-like in the traditional sense.  Rather than floral print, short dresses and feminine sandals, I’m definitely sticking to my signature silhouette of volume and texture.  Think wide leg pants, duster length trench coats and chunky heels.  The bigger the better in my book!
