5 Pieces to Complete Your Spring Look

Now that spring has arrived, it’s time to start thinking about packing away those toques, scarves and mittens. Instead, take note of these trendy fashion accessories, all of which are a necessity in completing your spring 2010 look.

1. Silver Oversized Jewelry

This isn’t to say you should ditch all your gold jewelry from seasons past, but muted silver jewelry can be a look-changer that is fairly inexpensive to acquire. When you’re wearing your silver, go big or go home. Oversized bracelets, layered necklaces, substantial earrings… the bigger the better. Layer on the silver in various tones and lengths for an eclectic look.

2. Tribal Patterns

Go bold with tribal patterns for your shoes and purses this spring. This season’s tribal trend has been influenced by an edgy urban look. When looking for your fashionable footwear or perfect purses for this season, take note of the tribal patterns combining a myriad of bright traditional colours in geometric shapes and chic designs.

3. Low Heels

Low heels are the new flats. This spring, pair your jeans, shorts and skirts with a pair of low heels. Whether it is a short kitten heel or a small wedge, low heels give you a sophisticated look while maintaining comfort for your feet.

4. Small Bags

What’s bigger than a clutch and smaller than your book bag? The perfect purse! This spring you can finally put away your oversized bags and store the contents in your closet. Trade in your large heavy duffels for smaller compact purses. The softer and simpler style of the small bag will complement your outfits while remaining unobtrusive. Your shoulders will thank you.

5. Scarves

Light fabric scarves are a must-have this spring. Make the transition from a thick scarf to a thin scarf as the weather warms up – it is time to trade in your knits for a light chiffon or silk. Whether you tie it around your neck or let it drape artistically, the neck is not the only place to wear your skinny scarf. Wear it in your hair to keep those pesky fly-aways out of your face or run it through your belt loops as a fashionable belt.
