Spring Fashion on a Budget Featuring Lindy Flowers

I’m Lindy Flowers and I’m going to show you how to stretch your dollar and still keep up with the current spring trends by taking something you already have in your closet, a simple tank top and a pair of jeans, and show you how to wear them three different ways.

My first look is a hip—trendy—casual look. I’m wearing a pair of flat sandals along with a vest, which is a huge trend for the spring season. Around my neck I have a Doll House necklace and I’m carrying a Charlie Lapson crocodile handbag, and to top it off, I put on a pair off inexpensive sunglasses from Forever 21.

For my second look I’m headed out to lunch with the girls. On my feet I have a pair of neutral colored low-healed patent-leather pumps by Stuart Weitzman paired back with another huge trend for the spring season, a lightweight trench coat. This one by Michael Kors. On my eyes, a pair of Chanel sunglasses, I’m carrying a Nordstrom handbag, and to pull together my whole look, this beautiful Shankari necklace.

And for my third look, I’m heading out for a night on the town. On my feet I’m wearing a pair of metallic strappy stilettos, and I’ve layered my jewelry, including this beautiful bangle from LENA made from recycled coins. To complete my look, I’m carrying a purse just big enough to hold a cell phone and a tube of lipstick for those touchups. Now I’ve shown you three completely different looks using just a pair of jeans and a simple camisole, this one by Itty Bitty Bra found in the Intimate Apparel Department.

Next, take a little black dress out of your closet, and I’ll show you how to use this spring’s accessories. I took a pair ofcomfortable flat sandals, a few pieces of simple jewelry, a bracelet and necklace from Jules Smith, and a statement ring from Vintage Glo. As my handbag, I’m carrying an inexpensive multi-colored tote just large enough to fit a towel, magazine, and sunscreen. And Finally to complete my look, I’ve added a pair of Tom Ford sunglasses, and I’m off to the pool!

For my second look I’m headed off to the office. I replaced my flat sandals with a classic pump, put on a chic cashmere cardigan, and a simple pair of drop-earrings. For a splash of color, I added a red handbag by HOBO. Off to the office I go!

For my third look I’m headed off to an upscale (evening) event. I put on some sexy, strappy sandals, added some couture jewelry—some vintage—some new, and a stylish clutch. So don’t be afraid to be creative when you’re out there shopping.

Lindy Flowers – Fabulous Fall Finds

Hi I’m Lindy Flowers. We’re here at EM and Co located on 3rd Street in Los Angeles bringing you Fabulous Fall Finds.

In this segment I’m going to take three key fall trends, separate them, and come up with complete separate fall looks.

1) Starting off with this updated biker jacket, this fierce black dress, and must have skinny pant.

2) I kept on my skinny pant from the last outfit and paired it back with another fall trend—the cozy sweater. And for a splash of color, added that tall, fall boot.

3) I put on the updated biker jacket form the first look, put on a pair of blue jeans, spiced it up with a fuchsia tee shirt and added a few key fall trend accessory pieces, including the peep-toe bootie, the layered chain necklace, and the great leather handbag.

4) Finally, I kept on the fierce black dress from the first look, took off the updated biker jacket, took off the skinny pant, stepped into a striking pair of stilettos, accessorized with some bling, and picked up a metallic clutch.

So there you have it, this season’s trends. You too, can look fabulous in your fall fashion finds!

All clothes and accessories from this segment are available at EM & Co.
