A trend is defined as a craze or fad. Keep this in mind when building your wardrobe. Also remember that just because it is in style does not mean you should wear it!

Spring has sprung! Flowers, flowers everywhere. Exciting colors for the season - trendy ORANGE and all shades of BLUE. Touches of feminine LACE. Lots of PRINTS in dresses, blouses to wear under your solid jackets, and scarves to pull it all together. Relax into your wardrobe for spring. Wear cool and comfortable fabrics that float. Try some FACE-FRAMING JEWELRY. Wear natural makeup and a new breezy hair style. And don't forget a BOLD HANDBAG and a fabulous high-heeled pump or flat GLADIATOR SANDAL. Spring and summer fashions can be softer for the changes in the seasons but they can still look professional in the boardroom. Keep them crisp and you will look sharp even when the thermometer rises!

Trends come and go but personal style stands the test of time. Find your own style and stick with it, regardless of what's "in vogue" for the season.

ORANGE! What a fun color to wear for spring - peach, mango, tangerine or cayenne - just a "hit" of this new color in a jacket, scarf, blouse, or pump.

ALL SHADES OF BLUE! A fresh addition to your wardrobe whether it be sky blue, navy, or the color of the Caribbean.

FEMININE TOUCHES OF LACE! A sleeveless lace dress; a camisole under a jacket; a flirty skirt.

PRINTS! Butterflies and poppies; geometrics; mad, swirling colors; or bold graphic stripes!

Bold and chunky NECKLACES and satchel HANDBAGS in bright colors.

Don't forget a GLADIATOR SANDAL for the weekend!

KEEP IT SIMPLE! Instead of mixing busy patterns, try taking a solid suit and shirt and then bringing them to life with a PRINT TIE.

PASTELS! Time to wear a soft blue, pink, ivory or yellow shirt under your KHAKI OR NAVY SUIT.

Try a PALE GRAY SUIT and wear it with a SHIRT THAT POPS!

The new shoe of the season? LOAFERS.

ACCESSORIES of the season? A Panama hat; a 2-color piped pocket square; Wayfarer sunglasses.
