Some of this season’s trends embody enchantment, so-phistication, romance, and a touch of glitz. Ruffles and tiers

remain key accents for dresses, skirts, and blouses, while soft pastels and fun watercolor prints are spring essentials. Bows, rosebuds, and other feminine touches keep things fresh and flirty on handbags. Embellishments containing studs and sequins add just enough sparkle to sandals and other accessories to ensure

that your outfit will truly shine. Whether you want to splurge or you’re on a budget, you can find fashionable items that go along with these runway trends at your nearest Macy’s, Dil-lard’s, JCPenney, Kohl’s, or Forever 21 stores.
