THE WHAT of Spring2011 (continued)

Hey everyone! So if you haven't already, check out part one of this, CLICK HERE which talks about hyper colour and lace embrace, two of the seven trends of Spring 2011 according to style.com (:

DISCLAIMER: These pictures are pictures I get off their website, and although I do photoshop so they are together, I do not claim any right on these pictures! Also, my views are simply my views, do not feel obligated to follow these trends, personally I don't follow all of them, and I understand that everyone has their own individual styles!

Midi is the Message being quite short myself, I probably won't be rocking this style...
Who - Personally I think this is a look for taller people.. but anyone pretty much can pull it off!
What - (okay it might sound weird but...) these are 3/4 length skirts, so basically to mid-calf.
When - ANYTIME.... depending on how you dress it up?
Where - ANYWHERE? Preferably a nicer outing, going to the market like this could be a bit weird unless you shop at perhaps Whole Foods or Bristol Farms?
Why - Because its fashionable and easy to put together!
How - Buying or Re-doing Hem Lines 
[From Left to Right, Top Row to Bottom Row]
Charles Anastase great for a simple business-y but still fashionable up look!
Although the colour is just a simple slightly shiny material, its details are beautiful, and being a midi, it gives it that fashionable but smart (nerdy) look! Very cute!
Alternatives: Nordstrom, H&M, & 2nd Hand Stores! (I couldn't really find an example via websites simply because my internet was majorly lagging ): ! If you find one please send it in!)
This look will definitely go great for internships or interviews! But of course you'd have to find some closed toe pretty shoes! However it also goes great with a nice outing with friends, I picture her sitting at a nice outdoor cafe, sipping on coffee, while reading a book or filling out her schedule book, ready for an awesome internship at a fashion magazine? 
Clements Ribeiro look at that spring colour! she's killing two birds with one stone! hyper colour + midi is the message & she looks amazing!
This is one of the more bolder looks, so I definitely would be a bit shy to pull this look off, but if you have the guts and you have the height, go for it!
Alternatives: Nordstrom! It won't be cheap but you don't want to go cheap with a look like this! Colour wise it won't be as beautiful and fitting wise, going cheap can cause you to fit funny, but if you really don't want to splurge, you could always try F21?
This look is perfect for a day time look, I don't really suggest night time for this one! To me, this dress reminds me of Easter! But of course its probably the colour it is. If you're like me, you could go for a more lighter colour or a darker green tone, but if you're bold, yellows and oranges and reds will definitely bring this look to life!
DKNY florals for spring, how original. but no this is tres cute!
The florals make it so casual and free spirited, but the length really adds to the dressed up feel. I really suggest this look, because although it makes a statement its not too out there where someone like me would feel shy, yet its so nicely put together!
Alternatives: Try FreePeople, Urban Outfitters, or Second Hand Stores like Buffalo Exchange or Wasteland [for example: this (which isn't collared but its florals!)] 
Like I said, perfect look to invest in! (if you look good with collars and florals!) its perfect for walking around shopping or going on a date with your beau!
Donna Karan by far my favorite out of all the countless midi's I browsed!
This look is gorgeous! White is just so flattering on most skin tones, and if you look better in creams, find a dupe of this in cream! I think this is so lovely, so well put together, without looking like you tried too hard. Its messy but dressed nice? I just cannot say enough good things about this look.
AlternativesTHIS + a white blazer? Try H&M! 
This will go lovely for Spring nights and even days! It really just depends on how you piece it and where you're going. It is a bit overdressing for a lot of day time events, but since it is white, its not so bad! Try not to hit the mall in this, its a bit weird, unless you don't mind?
Georgio Armani fashion for the big events.
I'm not going to talk to much about this look, just because most people will not have a chance to wear this, but if you are someone who attends big balls and need a nice sleek look that's in style now, but doesn't really want to buy a whole new dress? REDO THE HEM LINE of an older floor length slim gown! It'd be lovely and a sparkly head scarf? Perfect touch!
Emporio Armani things you have that make this new look.
Again, this is a bit more formal, but really easy to master. Find an old long skirt and just up the hem line so that it fits nicely on you at the mid-calf. Then you could probably use a poof-y skirt to do the silver part, if you don't have anything like that, alter the look up with another kind of shiny skirt! then just add a flow-y black blouse (that was in a few years ago) and bam you have a new look!

Well, that's all for today (: Hope you guys liked this look! If you try any of it out please send it in and show me and I'll definitely try to post it up on one of my blogs! xoxo

Please keep an eye out for upcoming looks such as Prints Revolution and Seeing the Light <3
