Top 5 Must Haves for your Spring 2009 Wardrobe

Everyone needs seasonal updates to their wardrobes, so we have outlined how you can make your classic look current by including the following five trends:

1. Bedazzling Jewels – Out with the understated, in with the overstated! It’s all about selecting jewelry with unique shapes, colors and textures all in one piece. If it looks heavy to wear, you are headed in the right direction. To keep your look balanced, make the statement necklace the main attraction of your outfit and pair it with studs. If you’d prefer to make a statement with vintage-inspired costume earrings, skip the necklace. Narrow it down to one main piece.

2. The New Femme Fatal – Tired of your boring basic and classic pieces and want to add more of a feminine touch into your wardrobe? Add some ruffles to your dresses, blouses, jackets and even purses! There is an endless variety of clothing and accessories out there to select from. The key is to select items that you feel will diversify your wardrobe and give you the best bang for your buck.

3. Pick Your Pink – This spring stock up on unique colors like fuchsia, magenta, or coral. Select the hue that best compliments your skin tone and gives you that youthful glow! Looking for that attention-getter dress to stand out from all your LBDs? Grab a pink one instead. You’ll receive compliments from girlie girls and men who can appreciate a sassy, feminine woman.

4. Patterns That Punch – Bold patterns always make a statement and can be fun too! Looking for a more avant-garde look? Add a geometric pattern to your wardrobe. Interested in adding some kick to your white button-downs and jeans? Select a patterned shoe. Look for asymmetric necklines, graphic prints and anything that almost resembles Origami.

5. Snakeskin That Sizzles – Move over leopard, this season is all about snakeskin inspired shift dresses, sky-high stilettos, carry-all handbags and clutches. This texture can add dimension and variety to any basic wardrobe in a chic and whimsical manner. It’s a great way to spice up a simple outfit or add an edgy element to a feminine look. Nude color snakeskin shoes will visually lengthen your legs while bright colored snakeskin ones will satisfy the fashionista.
