Daylight Saving means longer days…which means Spring is right around the corner!!! That means it’s time to analyze your wardrobe and determine what items from last Spring/Summer should be tossed and which you should hold on to! You should absolutely keep any items that you bought that are classic and timeless. Some examples are: a classic khaki (or any neutral color) trench coat, a lightweight leather bomber or blazer jacket, boatneck tops (solid or striped), collared shirts, pencil skirts, wide-leg trousers, and ankle-length trousers. However, you may want to reconsider any trendy items— whether that were a trendy color or style. Some trendy styles will easily translate into this current Spring season…so, do your research and determine which pieces are worth keeping and wearing. Before preparing your Spring wardrobe “wish list”, take inventory of what you already have and determine key pieces that will go with them. If you already have a Spring trench coat, then no need to purchase a new one. Instead, focus on Spring dresses, skirts, tops, accessories, and shoes.
The “It” color this season is Radiant Orchid. If you don’t typically wear the color purple, then I would only buy a few inexpensive items in this color since you probably won’t wear it much again after this season. The “It” shoe this Spring is the D’Orsay style– flats, pumps, and wedges. This is a timeless style that you can keep for seasons to come….so, don’t be afraid to invest in a better quality/more expensive style. The bomber jacket is another popular trend this season. If you get the right fabric and color, then you will be able to re-wear it in future seasons because it’s another classic silhouette. The crop top is on-trend this season, BUT it is not a style for everyone! Don’t be compelled to jump on the band wagon for this trend if you won’t feel comfortable revealing your mid-drift!
Take a careful assessment of what you already have and only invest in pieces that will go with these items AND can be worn for future seasons. It’s better to invest in a handful of high-quality pieces that are more on the expensive side than to buy a closet-full of cheap and trendy pieces that will barely make it through the summer!
