Spring Ahead

Okay, that's it, I'm ready for spring to be here! I'm going to ignore the fact that we had another snowstorm today ... and the reality that it's only February and spring's a ways off. No matter. I'm at least going to start thinking about spring fashion. I'm obsessed with the Chloe spring 2011 ready-to-wear collection, showcased on style.com. The flowy skirts and streamlined tops are perfection. The white looks will surely inspire me as the weather warms. But I have to believe the darker, warmer blush tones could work a little sooner.

Here's what I'd love to be wearing now ...

... and wearing a bit later.

Jump to It?

When it comes to fashion, I strive for a balance between simplicity and style. Too much of anything just doesn't look right on me, no matter how chic it may look on someone else.

I'm not sure I'd be able to pull off the look, but I am really liking some of the jumpsuits showcased on the spring runways. These somehow manage to be fun, stylish, effortless and, from the looks of them, quite comfy.

Only time will tell if I actually work up the nerve to try a jumpsuit this spring. But in the meantime, I'll mentally dress myself in these four beauties:

Derek Lam

Chloe

BCBG Max Azria

Halston
