Combine Classic and Trendy
It's time to shed those thick layers of clothing and show off some skin, as pasty as it may be from not getting any sun. Spring is a time for rebirth; everything that has been frozen and dead comes back to life. So, it's time to breathe some new life into that stuffy wardrobe.


The key to building the best spring wardrobe is to take classic pieces that you already own and pair them with something trendy.


The clothes that seem to be a staple in this season's wardrobe are florals, heritage garb, animal prints, cargo dresses (newly named safari dresses), and denim. It's easy to take something basic and pair it with an animal print purse or heritage jewelry. You should be mixing patterns, shapes, and colors; just don't get too carried away.


Floral is big again this year, as if it were ever out of style during spring. In particular, you may see lots of flowy dresses covered with colorful flowers. These dresses will be so airy and light that you'll get the feeling that there is a wind machine following you around.


Heritage prints and animal prints are quite trendy too. They can add a hint of color or act as an accent piece to an otherwise boring outfit.


Denim is like old faithful in a wardrobe. The only thing that may change about denim is the fit and shade. So, this season pull out the dark denim from your closet. Anything denim is in style.


Want to spice up an old wardrobe? Go and get old clothing tailored for a better, more updated fit. This will add style to unique clothes that may not be on the rack anymore. A tailored fit will also show off your sleek curves.
