spring has sprung

It's official! It's spring!

Time to trade in the boots for clogs and sandals, lose the pea coat for a cropped jacket, turn the wool hats turn baseball caps, and trade the dark sunglasses in for the stylish new transparent shades.

Focus on lighter, flowing fabrics, but don't get too skimpy just yet. This is still New England, and the weather would still pass for winter in Orlando. However, after spending a good chunk of time zoning out on the quad, just laying in the grass and taking in the sunlight, I've come to the conclusion that spring is officially here, and it's time to dress accordingly.

Pack away the heavy sweaters and chunky fabrics- lighten your laundry load. Stick with the layers I'm always waxing on about- they'll come in handy when warmish spring days turn back into cool nights.

Luckily for us, scarves are no longer considered a strictly winter accessory. (I kid you not when I say I've seen girls in bikinis sporting them on the beach) So keep them out of the storage closet- especially the skinny ones and lighter fabrics.

The start of spring also signifies the start of another of my favorite accessories- flip flops! These cheap, colorful, fabulous pieces of footwear will match any outfit from ball gown to a bikini (although I don't recommend wearing either of those to class). Free you feet from those chunky boots- just watch out for puddles.

So sit back, relax and embrace spring- looks like style survived another New England weather!
