Spring Trend Alert!

  Hello AICI SLC Chapter Members!  We hope you are all enjoying the beginnings of this beautiful spring season.  With this burst of warm weather also comes a burst of new looks from the runways to the department stores.  Bold color is everywhere and can be seen in both bright primary hues and rich jewel tones.   You'll see this blast of color in everything from swing jackets, trapeze tops, and A line skirts to accessories such as handbags, head bands, and belts.   Look for large abstract prints as well as blocks of solid color.   

  The fantasy trend this season is definitely tribal.   Ethnic prints and safari styles are making an appearance in both traditional and modern variations.  Classic safari jackets, dramatic headwraps, and jungle print sun dresses in deep earthy colors are all the rage for months ahead. Jewelry is a great way to incorporate this theme with wooden bangles and beads popping up in boutiques and chain stores alike. 
  
  Besides notifying you of the latest and greatest in trends and styles, we also want to welcome Tina Gill and Carol Steinbrecher as the newest members of AICI SLC Chapter!  We are thrilled to have these women join us and look forward to working with them in the future.  Also please let us know which of you are planning to attend conference next month.  We would love to have as many members of our chapter there as possible.  As always please feel free to post anything you like here on our blog.  The instructions for posting are found below.  Have a wonderful month making the world a more beautiful place!

Sincerely,
AICI SLC Chapter Board
