Good morning Frock Stalkers! Hope everyone is loving the March blogging event so far. We've got a great blogger to introduce today... Candice! This beautiful girl runs a life and style blog that is always adorable and chic. I personally love her "Wordless Wednesday" series where she posts beautiful images she's saved over the week. She's here with some more fabulous Spring style advice!

Hi there! I'm Candice from Teatime Thoughts, a life & style blog that mixes musings with daily fashion.

Well, spring is in full bloom, ladies, and there's nothing that I love more than the trends that come with it. Enjoying the breezy skirts and dresses with high-low hemlines, beautiful blooms of floral prints splashed across just about everything, (hello printed pants!!), the reappearance of lace, colorblocking, and the most divine shade of seafoam/mint that is everywhere I look. If I had to pick a season, spring would totally be my favorite. Here's a few great ways to incorporate some beautiful spring fashion into your wardrobe, many of which you can find from Frock Stock!
Here's a few key pieces that you'll want to add to your wardrobe:

1. High-low hem dress or skirt: These are so fun, fresh and flirty. If you find one in a flowing chiffon, it makes for a beautiful silhouette in the wind, and is perfect for a Sunday brunch. Bonus points for incorporating the always lovely floral print trend into the look as well!

2. Mint/Seafoam pants: This elegant yet playful pastel has made it's name known this season, and it just so happens to look flattering on every skin tone. To style it, you can add a lace top and pale pink accents, or toughen it up with a black blazer and some moto boots.

3. Lace dress: whether you're off to a tea party, or an evening on the town, a lace dress will always be effortlessly chic. Keep yourself from looking washed out by adding some fun accessories such as a pretty flowing scarf in a coral or aqua shade, and add some pretty accessories like gold heart earrings or delicate hammered bangles with stone accents.

4. Chic clutch: Declared the new "it bag", the clutch is making its daytime debut as a popular handbag to grab on your way out the door. No longer reserved for evening affairs only, find a neutral color in a soft leather to be the perfect compliment to your outfit. Running errands, coffee dates or taking a trip to the beach, here's your new companion!

 Aren't you in love with Spring?! Here's to a season of effortless, beautiful fashion!

    I really like your collection, especially the pants and the scarf. I think they really bring out the pastel spring theme that's currently hot right now. I also enjoy reading your blog, love the way you dress. =)

  2. I am LOVING that shade of seafoam/mint, currently rocking it on my nails, but hope to get a pair of trousers that colour soon.
    Also, really enjoy the accessories you paired with the lace dress - such a good way to make the dress into an outfit.
    Now heading over to check out your blog!

    1. Sarah, I have one of our Wanderer Skirts and the asymmetry just makes it flow so beautifully. It also helps show off whatever cute tights and shoes I'm wearing with it. I would definitely recommend this style 100%!

  10. I recently purchased a pair of mint skinnies from American Apparael and am in love! I'm really into wearing similar shades of the same color together and paired the pants with a light turquoise knit sweater and nude flats. I felt so spring-y!

    I love that the high-low hem skirt is trending! The chiffon fabrics are the best, and pleated chiffon is just glorious. Great blog :)
