Dress for Less: Spring Trends Part 3

Here is Part 3 of my Spring Trends Dress for Less series! I'm picking a few of the key trends for Spring 2011 and showing you how you can get those looks for less in a series of posts!  For this post I chose Girly.  If you guys like this you can suggest more spring trends for me to do! :)

Girly: The girly look can be achieved in many ways!  You want to look for light, flowy pieces in blush tones.  Some lace or sheerness would also be a great thing to use in your look. 
Just like with the 70s I opted to choose separate pieces instead of a whole look. The top left dress is expensive at $216, but it's Anna Sui and very pretty, so I had to include it ;)

    I love the peach/rose tones trend. I can't decide whether I like those or nude better.

    The Valentino collection was so beautiful and I love the spin you put on it with those blush pink shorts - they're great!

    That dress is 'not found.' I guess I wasn't alone in thinking 216 not the worst price for Anna Sui. Not that I have it anyway. ; )
    and BAH! No, I'm leaving in the afternoon...lame. But I guess we can catch up in London in July! ; D Sooooo international!

    Amazing, I love the Valentino dress on the left - but it's so expensive, so I really like the dress for less pieces you suggest! Especially the shorts...

    PS: Following you now <3

    I'm starting to embrace more of a girly look these days for some reason. I'm loving all the bows you picked out on the blouse and the pants :)
