It's Spring - Now What?

Ahhh...Spring has sprung!  The days are getting longer and the nights are getting warmer, so you know what that means...time to update your look!  Are you ready for spring?  Is your wardrobe?  Don't have time to shop for the latest spring trends?  No worries, here's a few quick fixes that you can do now that will help you easily transition into the new season!

1.) Brights - don't feel like you have to put away those black skinny jeans or get rid of your brown leather skirt just yet.  Bring them with you into the spring, but add a pop of color to them.  So, instead of wearing a black sweater with your leather skirt, add that coral blouse you bought last year to it to brighten it up.  White is always easy to do and pretty much in everyone's wardrobe.  Adding a white tunic or white blazer to any darker, fall-like outfit can instantly brighten it up!  Don't be afraid to pull out those bright, floral printed heels you bought on sale at the end of the season last year too, those will be perfect still for this spring!

2.) Hair - Just reworking your hairstyle can help you transition from winter to spring.  No need for those winter hats anymore, so hop on pinterest and play with some new do ideas.  Throw it up in a perfectly polished sock bun, add some cute waterfall braids, just have fun with it and that alone will make you feel like a new woman!  Gone are the days of static cling and dry locks.  It's time for that hair to say hello to the warm rays of sunshine and let it fly in the wind!  There are so many creative ideas out there, so if you aren't ready to update your wardrobe, you can at least update your hairstyle every single day!  Best part of that is, playing with hairstyles looks is always FREE and I don't know about you, but I like free!

3.) Makeup - again, no time to shop for new clothes, no worries, pull out those eye shadow palettes and have fun!  Updating your makeup look is an easy way to move you forward into the warmer temps.  No longer a need to wear those browns and taupe eye shadows, instead play with the untouched blue hues or green shadows sitting in your makeup kit and brighten up your overall look. You'll feel fresh and ready to take on all that spring has to offer!

4.) Scarves - this is one accessory that you can pretty much find ANYWHERE!  I have a billion scarves from wool to silk to cotton, throwing on a weather-appropriate scarf is not only a great transition piece, but a lovely accessory!  Leave the wool for winter and fall, but pull out those cotton and silk scarves for your spring collection.  We all know that as the seasons change, the weather often takes some time to catch up and realize that, so keeping those scarves around can really help when the weather guy says it will be 65, but in reality, it's only really 50 degrees out!  Stick with bright colors too and you'll hit two trends!  I personally love to wear my with a jean jacket for a nice casual, spring look.

5.) Layers - winter always has us dressing in layers upon layers, but did you know spring can be that way too?  You just need to change them up!  If you are used to dressing in layers, then keep with the trend, but spring it forward.  Instead of the tank, layered with a long-sleeve tee under a wool cardigan, throw on a soft camisole under a three-quarter button down.  Light layers is always a spring trend, so keep layering up those colors and prints, but just keep the fabrics light and flowy, just like the air outside!  Have fun transitioning and enjoy the weather! :)
