Out with the cold in with the Spring...

In these uncertain economic times everyone wants to save money. Reusing items helps to put money back in your pocket (or if you are girl it puts money in your cute oversized, overpriced, and overstuffed handbag). Here is a list of items you can take with you into the Spring/Summer season.

1. Leggings-wear them all year they are even showing liquid leggings through the Summer.
2. Chunky rings-wear all your winter jewelry into the spring just pair it with some bright colored bracelets or earrings and you will be set!
3. Berry colored tops-wear with a fun light weight scarf in a complementing color to update the top. Just make sure the top is not a winter fabric.
4. Wide leg jeans-these are a must throughout Spring and Summer
5. Skinny belt-keep wearing your skinny belt at the smallest part of your waist. You can also go with a wide belt this Spring and Summer.
6. The statement necklace-is still hot hot hot! Just keep in mind color. Make sure you pair it with something light weight and mix with a bright color.
7. Short/shrunken jacket-wear all the way through Spring-even leather is ok!
8. Riding boots-wear till about Spring break after that I will be putting mine away.
9. Patten leather shoes-as long as they are light weight and not a super thick shoe you can wear them all Spring and Summer make sure they are at least peep toe though.
10. Bootie shoe-if they are heavy or dark colored retire them around Spring break. If they are peep toe and not a heavy weight like suede or a thick leather you are good to go. Keep wearing them with your skinny jeans.

I hope this helps! Just be creative and mindful of your fabrics and you can make anything work. I will be putting a list of the must haves and colors for Spring/Summer so stay tuned!
