Spring 2014: Outfit Inspiration

Effortless Lace Tank: Spring 2014

[Ahh spring is here] We've been experiencing a few warm days around the Seattle area, and it almost feels like summer (well, at least before the next day when it's cold again). Regardless I'm thinking ahead to lightweight knits and crochet that I can wear when the weather heats up. One of my favorite designs is the Effortless Lace Tank. So named because the lace pattern is easy to memorize. It can be easily dressed up for a night on the town with sleek jeans and boots (throw on a sheer cardi for brunch with the gals), over a fitted maxi dress with summer wedges, or paired comfortably while still being chic as shown above.

[Colors] Visions of an orange/tan PNW sunset near the cool blue water and gray rocks inspired this outfit. These cool neutrals are offset with a bright pop of Celosia Orange with a relaxed pair of shoes and a bauble necklace or a striking watch.

Speaking of colors, have you seen Pantone's Spring 2014 Color Report? It's so fun to find yarn that matches around the shop!

[Trends] I'm seeing for spring and summer: Oversized tops with drape and lacy or sheer, mesh/simple lace, sheer layers, white garments edged with a pop of color like Radiant Orchid, Cayenne, or Dazzling Blue.

What are YOU making for the warmer season? Lightweight garments? Featherweight shawls? Or perhaps you continue making for cooler weather?

I'd love to hear about it in the comments below!
