Candy Crush

We're suckers (get it?) for mixing spring's ballet-inspired looks like tulle, tights and legwarmers with edgy extras like leather, cutouts, corsets and platforms. Put it all together and you've got the sour patch kids of style first they're sour, then they're sweet.

THE LOLLIPOP GUILD

Go for off-duty ballerina with a Swan Lake-inspired sheer feathered top, a tulle skirt with built-in leggings and a sleek ballet bun. Adding cool-girl sneakers says "I'm just coming from rehearsal" and topping it off with a lollipop-adorned cardi says "say hi to my sweet tooth."

SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT

A frilly, frosty bodysuit layered over a turtleneck and tucked into a pleated leather skirt is the ultimate indulgence. A cutie charm on your belt loop ups the sweetness, but go-anywhere combat boots balance that right back out.
