Tie Dye For

I am tired of the dull, grey winter and am eagerly looking forward to spring clothes. Proenza Schouler showcased bright colors and several tie dye looks which have me itching to try this trend.

Tie Dye by Icedivastar featuring Billabong

While not everyone has the mega bucks to drop on designer clothing, stores like Forever 21 and Free People are producing garments that pay homage to this spring look. Forever 21's Studded Dyed Tee ($19.80) and Tie Die Print Skirt ($15.80) are inexpensive ways to introduce tie dye into your wardrobe before spring arrives. Free People's We The Free Romper Dress ($29.95) is another cute addition while We Love Colors Splash Color Tights ($11) will kick up an outfit you already own.

Of course, I can't forget to mention the obvious way to introduce this trend into your wardrobe and that is to do it yourself. Grab a tee and some Rit® dye and make like it's summer camp. Paula Burch's How to Tie Dye is a good place to start.

Must Buy Tights

Hosiery is taking over the runway, so now is the time to stock up on some must-buy tights. Solid tights have been around for the past few seasons, and DKNY makes a great opaque pair. I have a pair in black and in eggplant and love how they feel. This fall, designers such as Doo.Ri, Cynthia Rowley, and Zac Posen are raising the bar by featuring embellished tights in their collections. Cocorosa has a brilliant tutorial on her blog about how to embellish tights, and Starmoss takes it a step further by beading patterned tights. Other trends seen on the runway are lace, striped, floral, and bi-color tights. Free People and ModCloth offer fun versions of these new tights.
