Spring is finally here! It’s time to lay your winter clothes to rest, and pick up some new spring styles. You may feel the urge to cling to your cozy scarves and boots, but spring’s trendy staples will have you anxious to leave them with the snow.

Sometimes it’s hard to believe that spring weather can relapse back down into low temperatures. The last thing you want to do is pull back out your winter coat! The simple solution to this dilemma is pairing a cool leather blazer with a spring staple to keep you warm on windy days. You can throw it on over a tank top, or pair it with your

favorite skirt to look good in all degrees.

Traditionally spring brings bright colors and crazy styles, which can be a little overwhelming compared to a dark winter wardrobe. When you’re going out, try a simple flowing peasant top. This flattering style will give you a refreshing look that screams spring.

While your go-to flip-flops are great for the pool, they won’t quite hold up when it’s time for a nice dinner out. With a classic gladiator, you can keep it casual while still looking put together. Try a basic brown pair if you want to keep these statement shoes simple. Following these tips, you will be ready to make a fashion statement this spring!
