The coming of Spring means warmer weather, cooler clothes, and sexy shoes! But recently, with the entire country experiencing unpredictable weather, most of us don’t know whether to pack away our winter boots yet or not!? I thought April Showers brought May Flowers? While I can’t forecast the weather, I do have a solution for the wacky weather blues – I’ve put together a list of the Top 5 Fashion Must Haves for Sunny Spring! Hopefully, it will get us inspired, motivated, and fashionably ready for the warmer months ahead!
1. A Flirty Floral Dress
Nothing says Spring better than a sweet and sexy floral dress. Whether it’s a mini, A-line, or sheath, a flirty floral dress is all you will need to get out of the Winter blues. These dresses are versatile – go casual for daytime with flats and a cardigan, or dress it up for nighttime with jewelry and sexy strappy heels. These multicolored frocks make pairing shoes and accessories easy, so don’t be afraid to have fun with color! Another perk – this season’s floral dresses will take you right in to Fall. Pair with tights, boots, and a bomber jacket and you’ll look hot, even when the weather has cooled off.

2. Neutral Nude Heels
Every woman has their favorite pair of black heels – your go to shoes if all else fails. Well, after you see this season’s neutral nudes, you might reconsider which pair you grab for next. Hollywood starlets have known the secret of nude heels for years. Not only do they elongate your legs (what could be better than that?), but they easily pair with everything, from a classic suit, sexy dress, to jeans and a tee. Nude shoes are simple, sophisticated, and most importantly, not overpowering. They finish your look, while letting the rest of your outfit shine. As much as I love statement shoes, these new neutrals are just perfect and are a definite must have for Spring. After all, nude never goes out of style!

3. Hot Handbags
The must have handbags this season are sugar and spice, and everything nice! From bold studs and hardware to sweet ruffles and rosettes, there is something for every personality! Must have shapes for everyday are the satchel and hobo – roomy and fashionable purses perfect for work or going shopping with the girls. And no woman is complete without a great clutch – these are perfect for your date night necessities and look amazing with the season’s sexiest dresses!

4. Layered Necklaces
It’s amazing how jewelry can transform an outfit from OK to Ooh La La! The lovely layered necklaces of the season do just that, taking you from day to night in one simple step. The relaxed, bohemian vibe of these pieces glam up your outfit without overdoing it. Go for an all in one necklace like this one from Express, or use what you have to make the most of your existing accessories. Chains in silver and gold, strands of pearls, gems or rhinestones – whatever you’re in the mood for, you can’t go wrong this season when you layer it up!

5. A Colorful Scarf
The last must have for Spring is the ultra versatile scarf. It’s a tried and true fashion staple that all women must own. This season’s scarves are luxe and light weight – and with tons of color options available, you might want to stock up for the rest of the year. Don’t know how to dress up your jeans and tank? Wrap a bold scarf around your neck to add a burst of color. Don’t feel like wearing a sweater on your date tonight? Throw your scarf around your shoulders for a sexy cover up.
