White Dresses (this isn't even all of them!):
Nearly every major designer featured some variation of an all-white dress. It was so prevelant that it almost came across as some sort of fashion conspiracy. I don't know anyone that wears all white dresses. Do you? I don't know if I'll be wearing this trend in the spring, but I am definitely feeling the peer pressure on this one.

Skinny Belts:
Next up is skinny belts, which is always a flattering accessory. I'm already picturing the different ways I'll wear this trend. Some of my favorite uses for skinny belts on the runway are pictured below:

Bare Legs:
You'll notice in all of these pictures, and in nearly every spring runway collection that bare legs are back. There was nary a legging or tight to behold. How can the absence of something be a trend? You didn't see any giant African necklaces either. Does that mean they're a a trend? Touche, Dear Reader. In the past few years, the fashion industry has embraced such a love of legwear as to make the sale of tights and leggings multiply exponentially. Even people (like me) who swore to never wear leggings, now wear them (I own about 30 pairs!). Every single season has been dominated by tights and leggings, so when they are noticeably absent, yes, it becomes a trend.
Unfortunately, I am going to have to eschew this trend come spring. I am too much in love with my legwear not to wear them repeatedly.

I completely agree on your legwear comment. Leggings are everywhere nowadays! The whole aspect of white seems very daring to me; what if you get something on it? That scares me the most about the trend of white. Also, to pull off white you usually have to be super pale, or tan. At the moment, I'm in between; too much time spent cooped up inside the house!
I love all of these looks!
I like the white dresses, actually. Especially for spring. For some reason, spring = white eyelet, to me. It's been a while since I've worn a white dress (confirmation, I think? so that'd be 1998?) but I think I might have the right coloring. I'm also stoked about the skinny belts...I have one holdover from a few winters ago that I almost tossed the other day. Glad I didn't! That was one accessory trend I felt immediately confident using. Mine is black, though. Maybe I can find a bright green one to match my bright green Chucks. (kidding!)
I, too am in love with my legwear! Bare legs are no fun :)

That white dress trend is pretty crazy. White only looks good on the ramp, not when you're running around in real life with SO many potential stain-causers dancing around you. And not everyone was tapped on the head by the Look-Good-in-White-Angel at the time of her birth. I love the skinny belt trend though. They look so much classier than large, bulky ones!
