Tuesday's Trendy Tip: Orange!

According to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, "Consumers look to spring for renewed energy, optimism and the promise of a brighter day".  I couldn't agree with this more!  It's amazing to see the racks in the store transform from dull and drab to bright and cheery as we switch from winter to spring.  If you don't already know, the hot color for spring is Tangerine Tango PANTONE 17-463.  

From clothing and accessories to your nails and make-up, make sure you figure out a way to work this color into your life for the next few months.

Feel Fresh Fridays: Vintage

Vintage has been a growing trend in the fashion world for years now and who could disagree?  Even high end designer brands these days are not constructed with the same quality as that of a true vintage piece.  The vintage items in my closet collect endless compliments every time I wear them, as they should, they have withstood the test of time and are still in great shape and fashionable!

Recently we had an incredible woman come in who was moving and had to clean out her house, she shared with us some awesome vintage clothing and she said there is more to come.  The clothing pictured below came from her and the clutch and the shoes are newer items but clearly vintage inspired.  Enjoy!

Please share your vintage finds with us in the comment section below or shoot an email to info@growingkidsNJ.com.  We'd love to hear about them!

Feel Fresh Fridays: Dresses

        Luckily, the spring weather has arrived earlier than expected. Aside from today, I'm sure we've all been digging up last year's wardrobe looking for something suitable to wear on these sunny, 70° days - which will be back tomorrow!  However, I've been having trouble finding something that excites me as much as the weather.

        Simple, light-weight dresses are the best transition piece for any wardrobe during this time in the year. They can be paired with jackets and boots on cooler days or just sandals when it's hot. This season, Renewal has the perfect spring dresses for any body type and style.

Elasticized Waistline:
       An elasticized waist helps to draw attention away from the hip area and accentuate the bust.

Mimi Chica (Medium) - Lush (Medium) - Mimi Chica (Medium)

Empire Waistline:
      The empire waist is a classic style. Like the elasticized waist, it compliments the bust nicely and helps to enlongate the legs.

Trixxie (Sz. 7) - Ruby Rox (Medium) - Aqua (Large)

Cinched waistline:
        A cinched waist forms a nice silhouette on almost any body type. The hourglass-like shape makes the waist appear small and creates nice curves for both the upper and lower body.

Proenza Schouler (Medium) - Spring Street (Small) - Mandees (Medium)
