"    Stella McCartney, Erdem, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Photo: Imaxtree  The fall 2011 Fashion Weeks are nearly upon us and while magazines and store deliveries would have us believe it&amp;#039;s spring, New York still has at least another month of freezing temperatures and slush to trudge through. However, there is no better time than next month&amp;#039;s New York fashion week to step out in the spring trends we&amp;#039;re most excited about, especially since we&amp;#039;re getting pretty sick of the dark, dull colors and thick fabrics of fall and winter. So, what do you do when the fashion season doesn&amp;#039;t quite reflect the actual season? Lest you deign to show up to a dall `11 fashion show in a fall `10 trend (gasp!), here are some ways to make spring 2011&amp;#039;s most prominent trends work for the inevitable cold weather. A big trend on September&amp;#039;s runways was white. Designers like Alexander Wang, Calvin Klein, Chlo\u00E9, Stella McCartney and Rag &amp;amp;amp; Bone featured numerous head-to-toe outfits in the non-color. Easy to interpret for cold weather, pick white or cream-colored pieces in thicker fabrics with enough coverage to keep you toasty. If it&amp;#039;s a dress, add heather grey tights for a less harsh than black contrast and pile on the neturals \u2014 camel sweaters, charcoal coats and dusty pink scarves are perfect accessories. Wear this cable knit sweater with a pair of light-colored trousers or tea-length skirt (see below). {Topshop} This white silk blouse will become a spring staple. Wear it with everything. {J. Crew} These wide-leg trousers from Stella McCartney&amp;#039;s standout spring collection are perfect for the winter-to-spring transition. {Bergdorf Goodman} For a more casual look, try these Stella McCartney jeans. {Yoox}  Another undeniable (and undying) trend for Spring was florals as seen on the runways of Oscar de la Renta, Mulberry, Erdem and more. Luckily, a floral print dress can be worn in Februrary\u2014just add a blazer or cropped cardigan and thick tights. Or, try a pair of floral print trousers under a wool sweater which is very on trend for Spring. Big florals, like the one on this party dress, were all over spring runways. {Urban Outfitters} This gorgeous pleated floral print skirt by Jason Wu would look lovely with a &amp;#039;50s style cropped sweater. {Bergdorf Goodman} These Cooperative by Rachel Comey floral trousers are fun and affordable. {Urban Outfitters} Throw on these floral gloves by Zucca to add a pop of spring to your outfit. {Creatures of Comfort} One of our favorite trends from the Spring runways was long and tea-length skirts and dresses. This new length is charming for any occasion and the extra length means extra warmth. If the skirt alone isn&amp;#039;t enough, add tights or socks.  This long black skirt by The Row is super versatile. Keep the look minimalist with a simple white button-down. {Bergdorf Goodman} Kill two trends in one transaction with this long, floral Yohji Yamamoto skirt. {Yoox} This full swing skirt can easily be dressed up or down. {ASOS} We love the print and pleating on this ladylike skirt. {ASOS} Finally, one accessory that will simultaneously keep you on-trend and warm is the turban, which made its comeback on the spring &amp;#039;11 runways. Make a turban yourself by tying a scarf around your head or try this headband turban from ASOS. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
