it may be cold, snowy, or rainy in your neck of the woods. but old man winter is bound to pack up and leave sooner rather than later. as a matter of fact, the official day of spring is a mere three weeks away. today, let’s think all things spring with 10 key items for spring that will jump-start your wardrobe.
white jean
white denim is a perfect choice 12 months out of the year. but they are even more perfect come spring and summer. don’t forget to add a pair (or 2) to your wardrobe. add a denim jacket to help ease you into spring. denim and blazers always strike the perfect balance.

dresses are far more versatile than you think. but the appeal is they are one and done. a tee shirt dress is a favorite wardrobe staple come summer. but there are lots of choices from a sheath to a shirt dress. all i know is that nothing beats a dress on a hot summer day!

trench coat
if there’s room for only one spring coat make sure it’s a trench. this coat is an iconic classic that will stand the test of time. khaki is the perennial favorite, but don’t forget there’s room to diversify.

shorts
many women discount shorts because they think they can’t show their legs. but no one has perfect legs – not even models. this is when we work with what we have and use instant tanner if they are blinding white. just keep an open mind and look for the perfect length for you. a good rule of thumb is that the shorts should stop where your legs look the slimmest. stand in the mirror and play with the length until you find the right length for you. there’s nothing like shorts to help beat that summer heat.
denim skirt
some summer days are just too hot for blue jeans. this is when i slip into a denim skirt. don’t forget to add white denim to your repertoire as it’s perfect all summer long.

sunglasses
to be certain sunnies have that cool factor going for them. but did you know you will protect the whites of your eyes from UV light if you slip a pair on before you head outside?
fancy tees
fancy or plain tees are a spring/summer basic once warmer weather prevails. but graphic tees are fun to wear so grab one or two. they’re perfect tucked under a blazer, cardigan, or shirt. they’re available everywhere and at bargain prices.

flats
flip flops and sandals are easy to slip on during the summer months. but don’t forget slingbacks or ballet flats look great with skirts or shorts.
