I do not think that anyone is as excited for Spring as I am! Over here at Why I Wear Skirts we want to be just as ready for Spring as we were for Winter and we want all our lovely readers to be ready as well. Spring time is time to bring out the brighter colors and luscious pastel tones. With all of these fashion decisions to make, finding the right hand candy is very important.

A nice way to spruce up the visuals of your eye candy is to find some nail polish in a color that is a nice contrasting color to your bag. The contrasting colors between the bag and your nail color is sure to be an eye catcher. We recommend trying bright colors that pop, try using a bright contrasting color on a bright contrasting color for super pop.

I highly recommend that you purchase a pastel tone bag as a homage to the spring time spirit of warm bright tones. Put away your dark winter bags and brighten up your closet in every area including your tote. You can find various types of bags from clutches to large totes in almost any pastel color. Here are an array of wonderful pastel colored totes pictured below, which one do you prefer?

Spring is here...in white

Spring just started and now we can pull out those beautiful, light and airy spring colors/fabrics.  Aren't you happy?

We here at WIWS are overflowing with joy about all the colors we get to bring out again...including spring shoes, necklaces, earrings, cosmetics and more.

White is one of those colors we haven't been able to wear as much for a while and miss.

Here's one of our faves...


The white or cream Aline skirt.  Match with a pair of cute kicks like the model above and a tan or pastel colored blouse like the one below.


You can also do this with a nude or colored shoe.  Light pink or peach would look stunning with this skirt as well.

Still tryin to stay warm but want to wear white?  Even though some areas of the nation are warming up, some of us arestill  seeing snowy days!  Here's a cute way to enjoy the spring ready to brave the cold frontier.  

Don't be afraid to match different shades of cream or textures to create a smooth and mixed look.

Or go completely spring with this sheer blouse and accordion flowing skirt.  You can also match this with another style stiletto shoe!

And, finally if you want to go corporate-business rock a full white suit!  Got to love the ruffle detail and matching pearls.

Throw on some shades and you're in business...

What's your favorite look?
