FASHION ALERT: 10 ALL-STAR MUST HAVE ITEMS FOR SPRING


Spring is here and at this time each year I get that familiar voice saying I need to totally overhaul my wardrobe. I’ve tucked away those bulky winter sweaters, salt stained boots, and heavy jackets, and I am so eager to get myself dressed up in only spring gear. Whether you need a new dress for a graduation ceremony, business event, outdoor party, or wedding here are 10 closet all-star must have items that will take your spring wardrobe to new heights. 
 FIT AND FLARE DRESS
This is a perfect daytime dress for spring. You can wear it to the office or on a Saturday afternoon.  The style of this dress shows the perfect amount of skin without screaming summer. You can dress this up with a blazer or down with a jean jacket.  Here are links to get this:
