The Good: most of the colder, wetter weather is behind us now (we think!)

The Bad: taxes are inevitable, but they ARE behind us now, for a while anyway.

The Beautiful: we’re moving through and into two of our most wonderful seasons.

We’ve been talking about Spring fashions for some time now, starting last September when the trends for the season were presented at Fashion Week. But now that we’re here in the season — what do YOU want to do to update your wardrobe?

Maybe it’s a nude shoe — it’s plusses are many: it lengthens the leg … it goes with everything … it works well as sandal or heel … and it’s available at all price points.

Another hot trend of the season is lucite – you can even combine it with the nude shoe or incorporate it as a stand-alone accessory, such as a necklace or bracelet.

And speaking of necklaces, add a bib, baby! A bib necklace, that is. Whether it’s lucite or a fun novelty version with faux stones, there’s no shortage of choices to spruce up your warm-weather wardrobe.

You’ll want to add some arm candy too — the good news is, it’s non-fattening. Don’t be shy with this trend — stack the bracelets or cuffs on the same arm. Use coordinating colors and a variety of textures.

With the softer neutrals of the season, add in a pop of color, whether it’s yellow, purple, coral or blue (this season’s hottest accent color.) We say — don’t limit yourself. These are easy and fun ways to update your look and add some drama. Now go out there and enjoy the season!
