I Can't Explain Myself, I'm Afraid, Sir Because I'm Not Myself, You See





You've got a very important date. And it's not to go see Tim Burton's 3D production of Alice in Wonderland in theaters, either (though that is pretty high up on my priority list). The date I'm talking about is the first day of spring. Yes, it's only January and everyone is still worried about taking down their holiday decorations let alone starting spring cleaning. But with Alice hitting theaters in less than two months, you have to be dressed appropriately for any mad tea parties that might spring up. Designers this spring put out a wide array of trends on the runways- from crisp and classic at Ralph Lauren to fun and beachy at Diane von Furstenberg. You just have to be able to choose the right ones to wear, and look no further than the new adaptation of Lewis Carroll's classic for inspiration. Start off with Alice. Sweet, charming, and blue is the look to go for. Chanel did a pretty fairy tale-esque ensemble for spring that would surely make Alice proud. Next, the Mad Hatter. I don't know which I'm more excited for- Johnny Depp's portrayal of the crazy character or his outfit. Balmain's tattered yet embellished collection this season would fit right in with the Hatter's frayed top hat and elaborate garb. Finally, the Queen of Hearts. Rodarte's wild red and black minidresses would be the perfect thing to wear when you're trying to figure out who stole your tarts.
