'Spring' into Fashion

This spring season it is all about the accessories. You can do a lot to a boring shirt and a pair of jeans with a few of these simple trends that will pack quite a punch.

Whoever said thin was in was wrong. Chunky jewelry is all the rage this season and will no doubt make a statement. Bangles and brightly jeweled cocktail rings are a great idea for those of you who are easing into this trend. Pair with a simple top, jeans and a cute pair of flats and make heads turns. For the daring, pull your hair back into a ponytail and rock a pair of oversized earrings or wear a v-neck top with a long, chunky necklace.

All the stars have been seen sporting a common item since the start of the New Year - oversized bags and totes. Although you may have some difficulty finding your necessities in there, you definitely won't have a problem fitting your life and then some. The best tip for lessening your frustration with one of these bags are pockets. Because these bags are so immense, the insides are usually adorned with a special place for everything you do (and don't) need. Make sure to an oversized day time tote for work or school and an oversized night time tote to take to dinner and stash some things away if you happen to sleep out.

This spring, blue is the new black. And not just any shade - cobalt blue. This striking shade can add a little something to every outfit. Instead of wearing your white button down and khaki's with boring black boots, grab a pair of cobalt blue shoes. Get chunky jewelry with cobalt blue jewels or even your oversize tote. Anyway you look at it, this color wins the gold!
