Ray April 2012 - 10 Clothing Items for Spring

Ray is probably my favorite fashion magazine - everything always looks so wearable. April's Ray has a special on 100 looks focused on 10 big clothing items for spring (with 10 looks based on each item):


  1. Yurutero Jacket
  2. Color Bottom
  3. Tulle Skirt
  4. Flower-print One-Piece
  5. White Knit Outer
  6. Bicolor Tops
  7. Loose Knit
  8. Happy Print
  9. Gingham Check
  10. Bijoux Tops



1. Yurutero Jacket
I have no idea what "yurutero" means (ゆるテロ) but from the pictures, it looks like just a loose jacket - the whole boyfriend-blazer look. Nice way to balance out a floaty dress, or to dress up denim shorts.



2. Color Bottom
Lots of cute pastels here. A very girly look. Pastels don't work with my skin tone, so I'll probably be giving this one a pass.



3. Tulle Skirt
All different styles and lengths! Love this look; it's very fresh and feminine. Balances out well with a structured jacket or chunky knit on top.

4. Flower-print One-Piece
A perennial spring/summer favorite. The retro prints and cuts for this year are quite nice.



5. White Knit Outer
Definitely need one of these - a chunky, open-weave cardigan in white/ivory/cream is perfect for those days when it's hot outside but cold inside.



6. Bicolor Tops
Once again, lots of retro styling. The contrast-color collars/bows are nice, and of course colorblocking is always popular.



7. Loose Knit
The perfect lighter knit for spring. Wearing a loose-knit sweater over a spaghetti-strap dress or top is a nice and easy way to get an extra season's wear out of something summery.



8. Happy Print
Not so much a fan of the ditsy prints, but that apple. Do want.



9. Gingham check
Yup, perennial staple (although I tend to associate gingham with summer rather than spring). Picnic time!



10. Bijoux Tops
Floaty chiffon with jeweled details - just gorgeous. Unfortunately for me, detailing around the collar/chest area is not very flattering on my body type.

I would seriously wear every look on these pages if I had the body/skin tone to do so!
