Springtime Can Kill You, Chapter I

Already planning my spring/summer wardrobe, I've come across a whole slew of items that would fit right in with my new philosophy of flattering/not reliant on layering/lack of patterns/accessories are the focus/simplistic dressing. Now if only I had the cash...
Takada Paris' bow dress is classic, interesting, and beautiful.
Example
See by Chloé's Prince of Wales check parka is so crazy that I adore it. It's the sort of thing I'd put over my bathing suit once it got chilly at the beach.
Example
Givenchy's mesh-detail tee is just bad-ass cool, in an upscale way.
Example
Haider Ackerman's self-tie trousers are chic, simplistic, versatile, and basically perfect. The slightly baggy fit is a fresh departure from super-tight skinny pants, yet this pair isn't so oversized that a girl of normal stature like myself would look bad in them.
Example
Proenza Schouler's line of shoes is trendy and rich, while still maintaining a certain integrity and sense of class.
ExampleExample
Givenchy's white almond-toe pumps with a gold detail are basically the summer version of Miu Miu's baroque heels from last fall. Meaning, decadent and glorious.
Example
Zufi Alexander's patent clutch is sleek and modern with a subversive side. The perfect tone of the leather along with the classic shape make it upscale, while the fang-like detail gives it a rock and roll edge.
Example
YSL's handbags have always been great, and this season is no exception. The large black buffalo leather Downtown bag is a slouchy carry-all that'll last for ages, while the canvas and leather small Downtown Vichy is cute and perfect for spring.
ExampleExample
Lanvin's crystal sunglasses are pimp. Enough said.
