Why Not . . . Spruce Up Your Spring Wardrobe

When spring begins to show its warmth and the perennials dare to reveal the beauty we’ve patiently waited to see after a long winter, my attention turns to many things, but my wardrobe always gets my attention as well. How can I spruce it up? What do I need? How has my style evolved?

Forever a fan of navy and class stripes, I am always assessing my options in my capsule wardrobe for my favorite go-to items. After all, navy is a neutral and stripes are a print that is ideal for casual wear, but formal wear in the spring and summer, absolutement!

To offer a glimpse of what the annual TSLL Spring Shopping Guide will offer come Friday April 1st, delivered to all newsletter subscribers, I wanted to show you a few of the items I have begun to select to include.

More than anything, I find spring to be a time to clear out what hasn’t worked, no matter how fervently we’ve tried and attempt something new or different. As well, it is a time to fine-tune and polish what has been working well for quite some time. As you will see below, the navy and stripes are my perennial favorites, but there are a few other items I am considering as well that are new and will perhaps add a touch of personality.

But before taking a look at the spring shopping styles and items, here is a list of ways you can spruce up your spring wardrobe:

1. Edit your closet – toss, donate or fix

2. Too tight, too loose? Get it tailored or buy a new size if it is an item you love.

3. Dry-clean seasonal coats, dresses, silks, to ensure you look pressed and polished

4. Be honest, will you really ever wear that again and feel confident?

5. Resole any shoes at your local cobbler

6. Assess your lingerie wardrobe – click here to update your lingerie capsule
