Jump Into Spring and Update Your Wardrobe: Bargain Shopping

Those of us who are major fashion heads are always keeping our eyes trained forward to the next season although we may be firmly entrenched in one at the moment. Yes we have one month left of winter, but that doesn't mean that we only have to be focused on winter. What about spring? It'll be here before you know it and you will already be behind the bar. As an old sage once said, "The early bird catches the worm." And that folks is the ultimate truth.

Florals and polkadots go together very nicely and so does tribal print with stripes. Have fun with it and be a bit daring.

Spring is all about bright candy pastel colors. This spring takes pastel to a whole new level. The yellows, pinks, greens, corals, and turquoises are brighter, happier, and more carefree. Don't be afraid to add a pop of color somewhere in your wardrobe or outfit.

Another fabulous trend is my favorite colors combined; red, black and white. I can't help it, I'm an Aries. Red  and white will always be my go to colors. So don't shy away from red. Mix it up. If you feel the color is too bright, tone it down with white and black.

Another thing awesome to do this spring is wearing the traditional tuxedo jacket in a bright color and add another bright colored accessory to the mix.
