While combing through the March spring preview issues of my favorite fashion glossies, I couldn’t help but get excited about warmer weather (even if the temperatures aren’t exactly cooperating right now!).
Although scallops may not be new to the fashion scene, they are something that I think go hand-in-hand with the arrival of spring. Think about it: a nice new scalloped floral dress, a pristine white blouse with a scalloped hemline, or perhaps a pair of scalloped sandals for spring break and beyond. Not to mention that anything scalloped lends an ultra-feminine touch to any ensemble.
I’ve scouted out some of my favorite scalloped clothing items and accessories – here’s to hoping it gets you in more of a spring-state-of-mind!
1. Dream Home Top in White (ModCloth) – A Peter Pan collar + the perfect scalloped hem to match – what more could you want in a blouse?
2. Jude Scallop Sandal (Loeffler Randall) – Can you count the ways to wear these lust-worthy Loeffler Randall scallop sandals? I can: infinite.
3. Amber Dot Short (Club Monaco) – Scallops and polka dots are one combination that will never grow old. Pair with a cashmere sweater now (give or take a few weeks) and a button-down shirt in the summer.
4. Sip Sip Tumbler with Straw (ban.do) – Nothing beats sipping your ice water or chilled limonata from this fun and frilly scallop-inspired tumbler.
5. Preppy Scallop Noteset (Sugar Paper LA) – It’s time to dot your i’s and cross your t’s with this sweet scallop note set. The blush pink envelopes are just icing on the cake!
6. Satchel Bag with Scallop Bar Detail (ASOS) – For girls on the go, here’s a satchel that is sure to add an extra spring to your step. The mint color and charming scallop trim are an unexpected, yet much appreciated, pairing.
7. Scalloped Bangle Set (Forever 21) – Because it’s always about the “arm party,” go ahead and add a scalloped bangle to your stack.
8. Scallop Ring (Jeweliq) – It’s a good thing that dainty rings are currently trending since this scallop ring only deserves to be front and center.
9. Navy Nubuck Scalloped Ballerina Flats (SSENSE) – A bit of a splurge, yes, but that doesn’t stop me from yearning for these Chloé ballerinas anyway. The navy/white stripes and scalloped edges are, dare I say it, swoon-worthy in their own right.
10. Apricot Scallop Hem Shorts (Topshop) – Say hello to springtime pastels and a new pair of apricot scallop hem shorts!
11. Deco Dazed Scalloped Necklace (Forever 21) – Less prim and proper, more art deco inspired, here’s a scalloped bib necklace to fit all of your accessorizing needs.
12. Silky Scallop Hem Dress (Urban Outfitters) - Complete with a sweet scallop open-back and hem, this floral dress is as effortless as you want it to be.
How will you be incorporating scallops into your spring attire?
