As I was perusing my March issue of Elle, I noticed they devoted a whole spread to the purest of all colors. And they're not the only ones focusing on the whitest of whites. Designers everywhere are celebrating Spring with bursts of colors but they're also releasing glorious neutrals in the most heavenly shades. Here are a few budget friendly finds to show off your more than your pearly whites come Spring.

Snowberry Lane Lace White Dress from Lulu*s

This is white hot right now especially since the 70s era is making a huge comeback this year. With the gorgeous lace and flowy bell sleeves I would definitely pair this with combat boots and some hard accesories to even out all that frill. But if you want to keep it classic, a pair of wedges or wooden platforms would look darling. Speaking of wooden platforms..

Wood Platform Pump with Studs from Charlotte Russe

Now this is the type of shoe that upon staring too long will cause drool. And for $38 you don't even have to feel guilty! I would wear these with a bright colored or floral dress for a date with the man or some boyfriend jeans and a simple tank if I want to keep it casual.

Butterfly Embroidered Tunic from Forever 21

This pick should come as no surprise.. it has "butterfly" in the shirt description! I adore the detailing in the sleeves and think that the stylists from F21 nailed it. The model looks simply gorgeous!

The great thing about fashion is that it is interchangeable. You can mix designers, wear a high fashion item with a no-label staple, or even wear items from a different time. I have many pieces in my own closet that are over 10 years old because I know at one point the trend will be recycled. 2010 had a resurgence of the 80s whereas 2011 seems to be all about the 70s and 90s. One of the big trends of the 90s that I remember is floral prints and this Spring is all about stopping to smell the roses! Or tulips, or daisies.. I think you get the point. So here are some of my favorite picks from the bouquet:

Floral Polka Dot Dress from GoJane

I really like this dress from GoJane because it is more conservative and subdued in regards to the floral aspect (plus it has polka dots!). I could easily wear this to work with tights and flats. I could dress it up for date-night with sky high pumps and dramatic makeup or keep it low-key for a shopping date with the girls by wearing sandals and a straw hat. The possibilities are endless!

Cross-Stitch Floral Embroidered Tunic from Forever 21

Again, I really enjoy the subtlety of the trend. I also love how this tunic has a bit of an exotic vibe to it. I myself would not be daring enough to wear it alone but it is an option. Or if you are more body conscious like me, some leggings or skinny jeans with wedge sandals or pumps would really complete this look. The one nice thing about the floral trend is there is not much need for accessories.

But if you don't want to overload on the trend and do just want to incorporate it into your accessories, Etsy has a wide array of floral jewelry such as this gorgeous ring:

Big Love Rose Ring

And there is an over abundance of scarves and headbands at many of the retail chains such as Forever 21, Charlotte Russe and H&M.

So will you be wearing your favorite flowers come spring? Or will you leave it all to nature?
