The Diva's guide to 2009 spring fashions

Spring is just around the corner, I'm sure of it.

I know it's true because lately I've had an uncontrollable urge to weigh in on the spring fashion trends that are crowding the fashion pages of the latest magazines and newspapers.

I feel positivity giddy about the trends I'm seeing this spring - clothes are boasting the kind of bright, crazy colours and bold prints and patterns that haven't been seen since the mid 1980s.

Sure, we're in the midst of a recession. But that's all the more reason to stop taking fashion so seriously. The 80s may not have yielded a lot of timeless classics, but the clothes were silly, irreverent and FUN, just like this spring's most wearable trends.

Oh good. Now I've just gotta lose the twenty pounds I've gained since the 80's and I'll be ready. :)

My son has been wearing skinny jeans, I LOVE the look, 80s girl that I am. I'm also tempted by the leggins - can I pull it off?
