Spring Styles with the Charlotte Today Show



Spring weather has finally arrived here in Charlotte!  I hope you are enjoying some nice weather wherever you are.  Speaking of spring, on my most recent segment on the Charlotte Today show, I shared looks that are perfect to wear if you are headed somewhere warm for Spring Break.  If you are new around here, I am an occasional fashion contributor on the Charlotte Today show which is a local TV show on NBC that airs every weekday.  I really enjoy going on the show and am so thankful that they keep asking me back!

I recruited 4 friends to be models for the segment who are all blogger babes here in Charlotte.   Josephine from The Style Hostess (Instagram & Blog), Tish from According to Tish (Instagram & Blog), Lauren from Lauren Schwaiger (Instagram & Blog) & Andrea from Dre Dream (Instagram & Blog).  I have linked their Instagrams and blogs so you can give them a follow!

I partnered with a local boutique, CRIV, to provide clothes for me and the models.  They have a great selection of clothes and accessories and I love that they have pieces that you won't find anywhere else.  Criv is located at The Metropolitan near Uptown Charlotte and they also have a great online store for those of you who are not local, which you can visit HERE.

I shared looks on the show that incorporate some of the top fashion trends for spring.  There are a few trends that we are seeing in all the stores right now such as colorful prints, wide leg pants and white denim.  I wore a colorful print on a tunic with jeans, and the tunic could also be worn as a beach cover up.  We also see bold prints on the models in some wide leg pants as well as a sweater.  This just shows you that there are many ways you can wear a trend, so have fun and try out some of these trends!  You can also switch out a top or layer a denim jacket to make these trends work even if it the temps are still cooler where you are.
