Spring Fashions with Smock Detailing. The first thing I noticed is smocked detailing. As I checked out some of the clothes, I noticed that they look like spring fashions with added smock detail to update clothes for summer fashions. There were the same cute halters, sundresses, and off-the-shoulder small blouses, but with a gathering and elastic around the breast area as well as some small ruffles detailing. There was even a cute bikini, as well as one piece bathing suits with such detailing. The spring colors of soft pastels and fun polka dots continue to be popular. There was even a cute off-the-shoulder, short-sleeved peasant top with bold colors of vertical stripes. I loved the halter-style jumpsuit with culottes-like wide pants because it looked so comfortable, especially with cute, strappy flat sandals. White halter dresses are always popular in the spring and summer, but I will probably wear my Benetton white dress. There is also a cute fitted sundress in denim, which looks long, probably mid-calf, but the smock detailing covers the whole torso, which gives the dress that low-waist 20s style for dresses. I like it because I have always liked 20s fashions and denim. Poplin blouses also have that added smock detailing, at the shoulder and chest area, which gives the blouse a romantic appearance, perfect for a bohemian outfit. Some of these off-the-shoulder blouses have short sleeves, while some blouse of long sleeves, but I think they all appear to be inspired by Spanish and Mexican cultures for bohemian fashions, in which I think such fashions have fun, colorful, and flirty items. Most of the clothes on the Elle Magazine site are very expensive, except for the Abercrombie & Fitch off-the-shoulder long sleeve blouse, which is only $35. I also noticed a mini skirt with floral print, ruffles, and smocked detailing on the hip area of the skirt, which looks very bohemian.
