Butterflies for the Perfect Spring Style

Butterflies are beautiful things, flying around with their beautifully colored wings, who wouldn't want to dress like that? Diane von Furstenburg's Spring 2010 look book has all the models wearing gorgeous butterfly clips in their hair. No, they didn't look like children playing dress-ups or like hippies, it looked very chic, very fresh and very haute couture.

Note: I don't condone the usage of REAL butterflies! Ew.

You can view these clothes/accessories on-line, to decide if you want to buy them, or would like something similar.

Try simple, understated butterfly jewelery like a butterfly ring or necklace. I own a silver butterfly necklace with diamonds, and everyone loves it! You'll be able to wear this jewelery when you're going casual or formal, unless you buy a big bulky butterfly necklace. Forever 21's Butterfly & Blossoms Necklace is only $8.80, you can buy this online or in-store.

Brighten up a blah outfit with a statement ring, butterfly, of course! For a butterfly ring that's a steal, buy this Torrid Butterfly Silver Ring, only $10, available in-store or online. For those wanting to splurge, Betsey Johnson has a very pink-punk feel with her Patchwork Posey Butterfly Ring, $50 online.

If you want butterfly patterns on clothes, decide which pattern you'd prefer: simple, even, not-much-detail butterfly patterns or swirling, butterflies of all different colors and shapes. I love this ASOS Pussybow Butterfly Printed dress you can buy online, that has more of a swirling butterfly pattern.

Or try a butterfly picture, not a pattern. Patterns can clash if you're already wearing something patterned, or if you don't suit patterns. Free People have a beige burnout jersey butterfly print tunic, $40.00 - $68.00 that would be perfect for exercise or day/night wear. The top is a nice shade of gray, so it won't stand out too much.

Okay, so maybe you still think that only little 5 year old girls wear butterfly prints. If you do, wear butterfly jewelery! Or a butterfly belt, handbag, or headband. Go into your favorite store, they're sure to have accessories you'll like. Seriously, what better way to celebrate the coming of Spring than with a tribute to one of the most beautiful insects alive?

Now you have some ideas of what sort of butterfly outfits to buy, remember: Mixing prints generally doesn't work, so if you're already wearing patterns, settle for a butterfly picture or some jewelery.
