As a buyer you see the coolest contemporary sportswear on the market. What did you personally purchase for Spring?

I bought neutral blouses to work back to color I already own. Colored/novelty bottoms are very fun and exciting for Spring. Specifically,  Diane von Furstenberg red pants and a Rag & Bone novelty skirt.

What are the trends in your market this season, and which of these are you incorporating personally? 

Colored bottoms. I love the idea of a bright pant with a blazer. Tribal. Either printed tribal pants, animal printed tops or natural accessoriesNeon. Pops of neon are so fun for spring. I bought egg yolk yellow pants that look so crisp with white.

How would you describe your personal style? 

My style is a direct reflection of my personality. I feel I am business minded yet have an affinity for humor and try to maintain an upbeat demeanor. I really enjoy staying abreast of trends, from apparel to all things domestic. Therefore, I would say my personal style is feminine chic juxtaposed with whimsical edge. I have no problem wearing pearls with leather leggings.
