Here are some tips for this spring season!
·        Look at what you have in your closet before you shop – I know I have numerous items that if you just add a belt, earrings or a necklace,  a whole outfit is waiting to get out of my closet….which leads me to…..
Â
·        Accessories can be recession proof – Necklaces, earrings and belts are all an easy and affordable way to dress up any outfit. As I mentioned before I love Banana Republic and J Crew for accessories but some of my favorite bargain stores to shop accessories are Forever 21 and Aldo accessories
Â
·        Shop the discount stores – for us in New England that can range from TJ Maxx, Filenes Basement to the new Nordstrom’s Rack!
Â
·        The top trends this season include exposed zippers, ruffles, fringes, neon and mini florals. Check out the today show segment on fashion under $50.00
