Welcome to Spring

The birds are chirping, the days are getting longer and that wool coat is a little too warm some days. It makes you think, what do I have in my closet for Spring/Summer. Today's post is to aid you in finding creative ways to spruce up your wardrobe. More of a Checklist:

-Do you have that ever so necessary 'little black dress'?
-What about that crisp white button down, no-iron white shirt?
-And the proverbial black pants (several pair)
-Add a touch of color, something bold and vibrant. You can do this with a shell under a suit, a trench for the Spring, or a strappy sandal for the summer, or even with a nice eye shadow or lip color.
-A navy, cotton or linen blend, versatile jacket is a great staple for the summer, you can dress it up or go casual with it.
-How about those white crop pants (otherwise known as Capris) or the walking shorts that you can couple with a jacket and wear on casual Friday. (Be sure that they're knee-length).
-A nice chain or colorful belt can change the look of any outfit.
Remember, just as everyone shouldn't wear leggings and one size does NOT fit all, everyone cannot wear the new trend 'jumpsuit'...be mindful of your body shape and make certain that it's a good fit if you dare. Also, don't buy 'all' the new trends, just grab one or two that will work for you. Play up your good features, we all have some!

In this economically depressing time, make yourself 'look' good and I guarantee it will aid in you 'feeling' good. Image & Etiquette is Everything!
