RECAP: Fashion Group International Spring 2013 Trend Event

 
Yesterday evening I had the pleasure of attending the Fashion Group International DC Spring 2013 Trend event and I must say I learned alot. Being totally obsessed with fashion I knew that this was an event I had to go to! The evening kicked off with remarks from Editor-In-Chief of Washingtonian Bride & Groom Magazine discussing the DC fashion scene as well the Mrs Obama's Inaugural dress choice. After a few minutes of discussing the state of DC fashion (which is on the rise if you ask me) we got straight to the Spring 2013 Ready-To-Wear Trends! I jotted down some notes from the presentation and was in complete awe of all the trends that are expected for the upcoming season. Below is a list of all the Spring 2013 Trends from head to toe that you need to know about, thank me later! Let me know some of your favorite Spring 2013 trends you look forward to seeing :)
