Alright, ladies, it’s that time of year when we’re told by the pessimists of the world (called forecasters) that we still should expect snow this season. However, if you’re like me, when spring fashion hits the racks, you start to see floral prints and bright colors and decide to mentally check out of winter and pretend that this awful season never even happened.
And live in delusion we shall. Here is what to expect this season and good deals to grab them early.
Stripes

At New York Fashion week, designers like BCBG Max Azria showed off the amazing blend of girly and denim for a fun spring twist. Urban Outfitters has always been denim lovers and they have got the season’s best out now. Check it out here.
Black and White

Nothing is classy like a case of the black and whites as evidenced by Julianne Moore’s stunning dress at the Golden Globes. As for us commoners, the sleek, sexy look of tuxedo blazers for spring may be more appropriate. Dress it up for work with cropped black pants and heels or with a sequined blouse for a night out. Macy’s has an amazing sale on these right now.
Holy Sheer

Showing skin has never been this fabulous. Pair a bright sheer top with almost anything this spring. Or a fun dress like Nicole Miller’s design above. Love love LOVE it! Overstock has some very fun dresses for less than $30. Can’t.Go.Wrong.
I hope you girls have your smiles on. Let’s drive this cold weather outta town!
frugal & fabulous
