Will This Be the Prettiest Trend of 2018?

With the holiday season behind us, it's time to look ahead to what's in store for 2018, and a big part of that is taking into account how we're all going to want to dress. If you think the dreary month of January provides the perfect excuse to buy (and wear) something pretty, luckily one of the biggest forecasted trends of 2018 is just that: lavender.
Many are declaring lavender the new Millennial Pink, but we think there's room for both pretty hues in a fashion girl's wardrobe. In fact, both colors had a massive runway presence in the S/S 18 collections, but it's lavender that's creating all the buzz right now, with many brands already releasing their pretty purple wares. Ready to invest in the lavender trend before it's everywhere?
