How weird is that when talking about spring, you don’t want to wear floral patterns! No, not weird at all my love, this happened to us ladies. Some days you might feel like I don’t need a single petal in my life right now or some days all you want is to have florals all day everyday please! It happens to us all the time and I get it. In case you’re in a “No florals” mood lately like me, today’s post might be a good read to get your spring fashion ready for this year.
Simple spring fashion tips I’m about to share with you today are super practical. You might find them too simple which makes you forget about how easy it is to make your spring wardrobe happen. Before you get confused with what I’m trying to say. Why don’t we get started on today’s topic?
Light Side Of Neutrals
Because spring is all about blooming and bright, you might want to pick the clothes that are lighter and brighter in colors. The most common neutral colors in the fashion industry are black, white and grey but cream, pale pink, navy, olive, burgundy and silver are also considered neutrals. These colors blend well with other colors and don’t stand out. Like I mentioned earlier, we will have to pick the light shades of neutrals for spring. Your cloths can be a solid color like light gray, tan, ivory, pale pink, light sand, white and etc. It’s a good way of transitioning from winter to spring. If you don’t like floral patterns, working with colors are the way to bringing spring into your wardrobe.
Shine Bright Like A Sunshine Day Accessories
One thing that can make spring happen without any effort is choosing your accessories. The rules that I always use with myself is based off the Color Theory. I use these three the most: Monochromatic, Analogous, and Complementary. Let me explain to you how I use them.
Monochromatic: Wearing one color with different tints, tones, and shades. You will get a feel of clean and elegant when wearing this look. For example, you can use white as your primary color (dress), using blush for shoes and bag and using coral (the brightest color) to highlight your necklace. You can use the brightest color for any of your most important accessories you would want to show off.
Analogous: Using the three colors that are side by side on a color wheel for example blue, blue-green and green. In this case your accessories’s color should be green because green is in the warmer side of a color wheel. Analogous color schemes match well with each other and make a pleasant look when using them together. I’m loving this color wheel chart from this blog especially when I’m putting some Analogous outfit together.
Complementary: Using two opposite colors from the color wheel. For example, if I’m wearing a lavender dress, I would pick a yellow necklace. Like its name, these two colors use each other to enhance or emphasize their qualities.
Try not to use to same color for both accessories and clothes unless you want to emphasize the “all black everything look”. Make sure one of your pieces are screaming spring out loud, then it’s worth the try!
No Florals No Problem
Instead of wearing floral pattern clothing, you can put some polka dots, stripes, gingham, chevron, paisley or plaids on. They’re all good for spring. See! You don’t need to worry at all about florals. They’re plenty of pattern choices out there for you to choose from. Adding a spring collection to your closet won’t be that hard anymore.
Give me some Flowy and Soft Touch
The right type of fabric can help create a complete spring look. You want to go for some soft and lightweight fabric like sheer, lace, rayon, silk and cotton. These fabrics will be great for spring and summer. They can keep you warm in the early spring days and keep your skin cool when summer has arrived.
Spring Make Up And Perfume Scent
This last tip might not be a fashion tip, it’s slightly more about beauty aspects. But I found that fashion and beauty always go great together. Picking bright color lipsticks like Fuchsia Pink, Striking Red and Vibrant Burnt Orange will make your spring feel like a wonderland without any blooming flowers in the picture. You can wear black on black on black but those bright lips will scream hello spring for you. I also found that spring scented perfume can help uplift our spring spirits. There are plenty of spring perfumes out there but my love for one right now has to go for Dior Absolutely Blooming. I’m working on a spring perfume collection post, it will be live sooner than you think. 🙂
I hope my spring closet guide can help you pick the right spring pieces that are not just florals, like a lot of people are wearing for spring. I’m not saying that I’m never going to wear a floral dress at all this seasons. I predict that you will have one of those days that you are tired of florals and don’t what to wear them. I’m the same way. Just remember this post and you will think of a fabulous spring outfit to wear!
Have a great week my love! Thank you for stopping by allaboutgoodvibes.com today. See you again soon on my next post!

Olivia Garden – Divine Wet Detangler Brush
This brush is anti static, lightweight and great for all hair types including wigs. The Memory-Flex bristles are designed for gentle detangling of wet hair. What I love the most about this brush is that its design helps to reduces stress on your wrist and hand when using.

If you are tired of your headband slipping off your head, this one will help keep you more focused on your workout and less on your hair.
This moose can help achieve the hair of your dreams. It’s a perfect mix of shape, hold, and softness and great for all hair types and textures. It contains shaping polymers that provide a long-lasting hold without ever collapsing, and has been infused with the ultra-nourishing sea buckthorn berry extract that keeps hair soft and weightless.

Today I have a quick product review post to share with you. I was gifted these two DHC products; DHC Liquid Eyeliner EX and DHC Deep Cleansing Oil through Preen.me, but don’t worry love, all opinions are 100% my own.
Let’s get started!
DHC Liquid Eyeliner EX .01 fl. oz, (Black)
Price: $20
Features:
Line and define your eyes with confidence
Easy to use, precision point, and smudge free
Dispenses the right amount of pigment where you want it
I love how easy this eyeliner goes on my eyelids so smoothly. The texture is excellent, not too dry or too watery. The brush tip makes it so easy to apply. If you want to achieve a darker and bolder line, you can press more weight on the tip of the brush when applying. Either thin or thick lines, this eyeliner will do an excellent job.
If you’re starting to learn about how to use Liquid Eyeliner, this one will be perfect because it’s like you’re using a pen. Easy to hold and apply, perfect for beginners!
DHC Deep Cleansing Oil, 6.7 Fluid Ounce
Price: $27.75
Features:
Dirt, excess oil, makeup-even waterproof mascara-and other pore-cloggers dissolve easily, leaving your face a grime-free zone that is soft to the touch.
Its unique water-soluble formula rinses completely, so you’ll never see a greasy residue. Olive oil and vitamin E help ensure you won’t see dryness either
Indications:
DHC skincare makes some great olive oil skin care products. Since DHC is based on olive oil (in fact one product is solely pure olive oil), a common first thought is: Won’t DHC skincare items cause break outs? But the general reports from both the DHC skincare company and from consumers is that the products, even the pure olive oil, do not clog pores. Instead, olive oil helps to dissolve the gunk that can sink into them.
This DHC Deep Cleansing Oil, gets rid of my waterproof mascara, eyeliner and lipstick!! I’m actually not a fan of oil based products because I have sensitive and acne prone skin type. This oil has surprised me while I was rinsing my face with water. The oily and greasy feel turned to be a soft, milky consistency instead. It leaves my skin feeling so soft, without any grease which makes me fall in love with this product. If you believe about good skin care = good makeup, you can give this DHC Deep Cleansing Oil a try!

Going out on a normal date or a special one like Valentine’s day, they are all important, don’t you agree? It’s the first step to get the first impression and to learn about the person you’re going to, or planning to start your relationship with. Because tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, I came up with some last minute tips on what you should wear without spending any more money. Sometimes it’s so frustrating to try to find the right outfit, I’ve been in this situation for too many times, I know exactly how you feel. I remember buying new clothes just to wear on a special occasion like Valentine’s Day Date night, but I ended up not liking the clothes and I had to work with what I have.
The simple rule here is the wear less pieces, less is more! Let’s stay simple but classy. Your little black dress will work wonders on any date, pair it with a jacket and a pair of high heels, and you’re already killing it. Try to go for a neutral color jacket and the same hue of shoes. Or try to match the color of your bag and shoes to help emphasize the look.
My outfit here, dress, jacket, and heels, I got them all from forever 21 two years ago. I’m still wearing them often. I’m leaving some similar pieces for you below for you to check out. You might not be able to get them for this Valentine’s Day, but it will be great pieces to add to your collection. These pieces will be perfect for when you don’t know what to wear on a date.
Now let’s talk about how fortunate I am to have two weddings, wait it’s actually three wedding events, let me explain to you here. My husband and I had our wedding in Thailand (Thai ceremony in the morning and the wedding reception at night). So we had a chance to wear two different outfits in one day. A few months later we flew back to the US and had our American wedding.
There was a lot of drama and stressful situations involved! No surprise, right! The organizing part wasn’t the problem. It was the people who made it a problem. I’m not going to talk about that part. All I can do is to forgive, forget and move on!
So we were planning our wedding in Thailand one year in advance and for the one in the US, my parents in law, they were helping with every step in the process. All we had to do was just show up! 🙂
Besides drama, here’s what I’ve learnt from my weddings:
1. Budgeting is very important but you will go over your budget anyway! So try not to go over it too much because you will be upset later. It’s better to keep your money and enjoy it yourself. It’s not a good idea to spend your money in one event that people will forget in a couple of weeks.
2. Not everyone is important, don’t invite them all to your wedding. It’s your special day, you only need someone who’s truly happy for you. Just a heads up, you will see some people who you have no idea who they are but they’re attending your events, some strangers and some you didn’t even think about inviting them they will show up today.
3. Don’t buy your gowns, you can be broke because of that. I understand it’s a special something that you can pass on to your loved ones. But trust me I don’t want to wear my mother’s or my grandmother’s wedding gown. Let them decide what they like and what they want to do. You can help them with the cash!
4. You should wear matte lipstick! I didn’t realize that this type of lipstick existed until a few months later! I kept messing with my lipstick all day! You suppose to kiss all day long, so this way it will help reduce the amount of times you have to apply your lipstick on.
5. Enjoy every single moment of your wedding, let other people deal with the drama, take lots of pictures, video recording is also a great idea. You want to look back and only see how happy you were. Remember it’s your day!
Here’s how I feel about having two anniversaries:
1. I feel so lucky that I had three beautiful wedding events.
2. I love that my husband and I have some special moments that we’re always talking about.
3. I love to be able to give and get two anniversary gifts in the period of three months!
4. I love that we have a lot of pictures of our weddings. It helps to remind us how lucky we are to find each other and be married to each other. We love our wedding video so much too! We’re in tears every time we watch it.
5. Love = talking and understanding. Two weddings or ten weddings won’t matter if you’re closed your minded and shut your mouth. Talking is the key to a good relationship. Never keep your mouth and your mind shut if you want your relationship to grow stronger and stronger everyday.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today!
Enjoy your day my loves! Happy Valentine’s Day!
