Put a Little "Spring" in your Wardrobe
Tips for wearing your existing pieces in new ways through transitional weather  

 

Switch out your spring jacket for a blazer

Don't put away those long sleeve "winter" blazers just yet! Add them to a tee, jeans and flats for a trendy polished look while your on the go

 

Add a scarf

Scarves not only provide warmth, but also a seasonal pop. Choose a lighter fabric with on trend colors (like brights or pastels) and patterns (like hombre, floral or stripes)

 

Style summer dresses with winter accessories

Dying to wear last summer's favorite maxi or sundress but the weather isn't cooperating? Just pair the dress with boots and/or top it off with a lightweight sweater or leather jacket.

 

Wear new colors together

This spring is all about color and color blocking. You can totally revamp your wardrobe just by wearing new colors together that you normally wouldn't. Have a royal blue shoe, scarf or necklace that you would normally wear with a white top? Try wearing orange or mustard with it instead! 

Spring Cleaning your Wardrobe

 

 

Much like your house undergoes a spring cleaning this time of year, your closet can use one too!

 

- take this time to bring any items that need repair to the cobbler or the tailor. If your anything like me, these items have been sitting in the bottom of your closet all winter and haven't been worn when they could have been.

- bring your winter jacket(s) to the cleaners before you pack it away so next year when you pull it out its ready to go!

- clean and condition leather shoes, belts and purses. Leather goods will last a long time, but they need to be taken care of properly in order to achieve their full life span. These goods should be conditioned 3 times per year, especially if your coming off a winter with a lot of snow or slush. You don't want salt eating away at your leather boots while they sit in the box all year. 

- edit down any items in your wardrobe that you haven't worn in awhile.

- reorganize your closet and dresser drawers. Sort items by classification, outfit, color, occasion, etc
