Spring is Coming: What You Need in Your Wardrobe Now

Spring is a great time to freshen up your wardrobe and splurge on a few great new pieces. Whether you’re a fan of spring or not, you can’t deny that there is something enticing about warm weather that gets everyone excited for the season. This spring you will have the most up to date and fashionable wardrobe and be the envy of all of your friends with these essential pieces.

Tops to make your friends jealous:

A simple striped boat-neck top is an essential for any Spring wardrobe. Blogger Carly A. Heitlinger of The College Prepster agrees, which is evident in her latest post about J.Crew spring essentials. The classic navy blue and white is so versatile that it can instantly become a staple, paired with anything from white jeans for a casual look or a simple skirt for a dressier style. Here are a few places to find classic boat-neck striped tops this season:

Dresses that will make you the talk of the party:

Gingham is all the rage this season. Designers from Victoria Beckham to Brooks Brothers sported this chic look on the runway and it exceeds expectations. There are so many ways to wear this fun pattern, especially on dresses. Here are a few great places to look for this newest addition to your wardrobe that you will not regret!

Shoes to make you stand out from the crowd:

Every year there are a few pairs of sandals that seem to see everywhere you go—they are staples, and for good reason. The reason being, they are timeless, comfortable, and last forever. If you do not have a pair of these I highly suggest investing in them. Here are a few of the best investments in shoes you can make:

-Jack Rodgers : the classic Jacks are always a good idea, and the Jellies are a fun alternative to the classic look. Great to dress up with shorts or dresses!
