Spring (wardrobing) Has Sprung!

You may not be ready to start thinking about it, but spring apparel is in stores and soon all fall sale will be gone. Now is a good time to start strategizing about spring buys. It's still so cold that there's no risk of talking yourself into buying anything at full price. Plus, who can think about full price with all the discounts flooding everywhere?

Look at what's coming through the major fashion labels to figure out what your going to watch and what your going to use as inspiration to guide your other purchases. Plus, soon you'll be pulling out last year's buys that you either wore briefly, or not at all, and you'll want to compliment those key pieces or look to fill in the gaps.

If you don't remember, last year had alot of gladiator sandles, metalics, florals and boho chic. You can still wear all of that. All of these are still in. But look to round things out with the new themes of rocker/material girl, euro sexy and rich color.

My inspiration comes from Halston's butterfly cardigan dress, Phillip Lim's ruffled mini skirt and girly bow tie jacket, Micheal Kors neon blue rockstar dress, and Just Cavali's lolipop mini. All will be within reach at first markdown, or all of them have one attribute that you will be able to find somewhere else at a lower price.
