One way to up any outfit is through the use of accessories. Accessorizing your outfits immediately results in a more stylish and put-together look. While this applies to all times of the year, accessorizing can pertain specifically to spring with the use of colorful jewelry. As pictured to the left, colorful beaded necklaces are a great way to incorporate more color into an outfit. Chunky, colored rings are also a spring-season must in your collection. Statement pieces and bright colors are a necessity to upgrade your outfits and add some spring flair to anything you wear.

Claw Clips

Another trendy, yet functional accessory to add to your collection is the claw clip. These clips are cute and easy to throw on with any outfit. Perfect for a bad hair day- or anytime you want to keep your hair out of your face– the claw clip is the perfect hair accessory to incorporate into your spring wardrobe. These are a universally appealing accessory, but for more of the springtime vibe, look for clips with bright or pastel colors! These clips can be found at most boutiques, such as Vestique (located in Park West) as well as Amazon.

Flowy Pants

A fun and creative way to improve your spring outfits are with flowy, loose-fitting pants. As seen to the right, these flowy pants are perfect for warm weather, as they are airy and comfortable. These pieces are great paired with a tight top, to contrast the looseness of the pants. Perfect for a beach or lake day, they are easy to throw over a swimsuit and look stylish. Pants like these can be found at stores such as Urban Outfitters and Zara.

Scarves
