The Staples for Spring!

It's that time of year again when the weather outside is not demanding you to wear those chunky sweaters and wool pea coats.  That is right, the icicles from your closet door are melting and sunshine of Spring is beaming through.  Here in Alabama it seems we only enjoy Spring for less than two months or so, by the time May hits we're lucky to be in the mere mid 70's at night. I always keep this in mind when shopping for Spring clothes. I tend to stick to the basics with only a few pieces that are pretty bold.  I'm a huge fan of keeping it simple, I never want any item of clothing to be wearing me. I also tend to buy more tops and pants in a traditional fit and solid colors.  I also have to buy clothes made to my body shape, just because an article of clothing is in style and looks good on 20,000 other people does not mean I will look good in it.  There are way too many girls that make this mistake, myself included a few times.
It may be silly or way too in depth thinking but I truly believe what you wear reflects how you feel and your personality.   Just like Forest Gump says "There's an awful lot you can tell about a person by their shoes. Where they're going, Where they been."  It's almost true! I've always thought women that wear painful high heels endure a lot. All of their weight while walking is all on their feet, actually the forefoot to be precise.  These women choose to make themselves taller which leads to most other women looking up at them or on the same eye level. It's also how a woman appears to look leaner if she has a shorter torso. It's also a good conversation starter between men and women. Don't believe me? Women that do not know each other will compliment another woman on their shoes in the restroom and ask where they bought them, etc. Men will give up their seat more easily on a bus or a seat at the bar and say something along the lines of "How do you crazy women walk on those all day?" Women that wear flats are what I like to call more comfortable (obviously) a woman wearing flats usually doesn't make any sound while walking down a street but a woman in heels will make noise every time she takes a step which makes others in ear shot turn around and look, a woman in flats does not create that kind of attention. See where I am getting at? I'm assuming most women don't even know those little tid-bits about themselves. Stick with me kiddo's and I will teach you there is more to fashion than just throwing on some clothes! anyway on to Spring Staples!
Here are some Spring staples that should be in every girls closet for spring......most all year long!

1)  traditional trench coat. there is no way you can go wrong with this coat for all seasons of the year and it's been a fashion statement since the 1950's. Audrey Hepburn, Jackie O, Katie Holmes along with so many other ladies have dawned this coat.

2) The perfect Stiletto/High Heel. If I have to explain this, then you need to head over to the Style Network ASAP!

3) the Perfect Pair of jeans. These jeans should be long enough to wear with heels and should have darker wash with no holes! The jeans should be able to be paired with most tops, shirts, sweaters and blazers. The jeans should also not show all of your back behind if knelt down.

4) the long sleeve button down. I cannot stress to you how 2 or 3 of these in your closet can change your shopping world! Buy a classic, cotton, slim fit blouse. It can really show off your silhouette. Plus they are timeless!

  5) I have 2 accessories that are all about Spring! A pair of Sunglasses (I prefer the larger frame) and a headband, the head band can really open up your face and its just a cute flirty different way to jazz up the everyday hair style.
