Seasonal transitions are the best excuse to add the latest fashion trends to our wardrobe and the forecast from the runways of the spring fashion shows and lookbooks appear to be Y2K-Inspired, complete with low-rise waistlines, high-rise hemlines, halter tops aka crop tops in lightweight fabrics, and brightest boldest colors.

Ultra-mini
Ultra-mini mini skirts and mini dresses we're seeing this spring is giving Destiny's Child. Rising hemlines are a symbol of fashion’s return to fun, experimental risqué dressing; I say risk it all with styles from V74 Boutique, G Bemi, and Curverra.
Platform Shoes

TBH, platforms haven't ever gone out of style and the resurgence we are seeing on the runways is proof the iconic shoe has come full circle. Shop Twelve AM Co., Arch NYC, and The Rustic Shoe Box.
