global influence continues to be on trend this spring. and there’s no globe-trotting necessary. clothes this season are infused with bright colors inspired by the ancient spice trail that changed the culinary world forever. cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, and nutmeg (supposedly more precious than gold once upon a time) have inspired the color scheme of today’s ootd. a wide leg linen pant is heaven to wear and is the perfect partner with this crochet top. both are keeping me cool as georgia soars into the high eighties today. and what about these bold, modern accessories? colorful pops of orange and a flash of gold help this outfit sizzle. oh yeah, i’m liking this global influence. it’s what’s on trend today on the blog.

That is a great outfit! The sunglasses are perfect. I’m rather fond of a crocheted look top… xoxo
it’s always fun to see trends recycled. if you stick around long enough something you loved from years past will circle around.

I am so into the neutral outfits that are trending! They look so cool and classy. And I love your addition of spicy colors.

i love the color combo of coral and tan. and this crochet top mixes in a few metallic threads to give it some pop. aren’t you happy summer has arrived? loving the colors this year.

I love linen, yes it can look rumbled but I find it to be very cool. Love those sunglasses.
i agree with the rumpled look. it’s way cool. no pun intended (or was it)!
