There are so many summer/spring trends out right now, we can barely keep up. The trend we are zeroing in on right now is the crochet trend. It all started with a mindless trip to H&M where I spotted a super cute blush pink crochet knit top. I picked it up and walked over to a line that had about 30 people on it. Already tired, I put the top down and said, I’ll come back tomorrow. Do I need to continue on for you to figure out that it was not there the next day? Well, no, it wasn’t. I asked a sales girl who was wearing one, if they had anymore left and she said, they sold out. Since then, I’ve been on the hunt for crochet. Whether it’s a top, dress, or shoes, I want it and I’ve found a few plus size curvy girl pieces for you to get in on the trend too.
The cool thing about crochet is that when you mix it with different textures or casual pieces you wind up creating a pretty cool and unique look. I loved Rachel Roy’s dark blue crochet dress for her spring 2011 collection. It was so chic. Catherine Malandrino’s designs are always feminine and sexy. I fell inlove with her floor length cream colored crochet dress from her spring 2011 collection. It made me want to put a feather in my hair and dance the night away.
When it comes to trying out this trend we suggest the following:
– Pair a cropped crochet top with denim cut offs for a casual day of shopping or sight seeing.
-Try a sexy body skimming crochet dress in a bright color for a fun and chic spring look.
-Wear a crochet tunic over a slip or tank dress.
-A crochet vest also looks good with denim shorts complete with a white t-shirt and boyfriend jeans. Top that look off with a fedora.
-Try a colored tank or bra (if you dare) under a crochet top.
-Not really into the trend, then go for a pair of crochet espadrilles.
This trend really reminds me of the 90’s! Am I showing my age? LOL
If you see any maxi crochet dresses – like the Malandrino one – please post them – I’m on the hunt but haven’t seen anything even close.
I think this is a look I may try! I like the suggestion of the top with the cut offs
The long white dress is just too sexy, I just love it, and the old navy shoes are just incredible.
