Last week, I dove into Spring fashions and gave you a good idea of what is hot this season. Did you miss the post? Catch up here. But what are clothes without accessories? Unfinished outfits, flirty ensembles that need ‘a little something’…..don’t underplay the statement that you’re making because you’re hoping that the ‘bare minimum’ look will be enough. Sissies and cross dressers, listen up! It’s time to add some flair!

A different kind of portion control

This Spring, you definitely have some options when it comes to accessories. It’s about the finishing touches, like you’re painting a picture. But use a dainty brush and not a paint roller. What does that mean? Flair is fun, but don’t overdo! Pair solid tops and bottoms with unique shoes and bags, or outfits that make a statement with downplayed accessories. Don’t flair everything or the exposure will be too much. And as I’ve said before, make sure you’re utilizing a full length mirror before you step out the door. Be sure that there is balance between your top half and bottom half. Dressing yourself is definitely an art form!

Fringe, jewels and more….

I talked about fringe last week on skirts and dresses. Don’t forget boots with fringe that are instant eye-catchers!

Keep your eyes open for sexy block heeled shoes to pair with palazzo pants and fitted blouses. Crave a little sparkle? Look for glimmery, bejeweled or studded heels that are sure to add something extra to your day. Also hot are velvet buckled shoes or chunky heels with a velvet touch.

Oversized, 80’s inspired dangly earrings and shiny, pretty brooches are right in style when it comes to jewelery. Wide fashion belts will give you a sexy cinched waist and add a little shape if you need it.

And when it comes to handbags, top-handles are hot for Spring! They’re almost trunk-like but they don’t have to be boxy. Prefer something with a longer handle to keep your hands free? Try an over-the-shoulder sling bag, which are also right in style right now!

Spring is the time for new beginnings, with crisp and fresh fashions. But like I said last week, there is life beyond pastels and you don’t have to look like an Easter Peep! Take advantage of the crisp fashions and hot accessories that will finish your look and make you unforgettable whenever you’re out en femme!
