LAST CALL FOR THESE ADORABLE WINTER STAPLES The temperature is rising, and we’re all ready to bid winter a big farewell. But before you spring into the next season, you have one last chance to snag these last-minute winter essentials at unbeatable deals. Keep these winter pieces on your radar before they’re gone for good. SIZE MATTERS WITH OVERSIZED BAGS Ditch your old bag because small bags are a thing of the past, and great for the working girl on the go. Oversized bags are hotter than ever and with good reason. Oversized bags offer more room than smaller bags. It’s annoying trying to fit something in a tiny small bag when you are in a rush. With an oversized bag at your side, you can fit your entire life in it basically. STYLISH PUFFER JACKETS If you live somewhere chilly, then a puffer jacket is an absolute must-have. Puffer jackets come in various different styles and grew in popularity this year. With stars like Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande rocking puffer jackets on the daily, this trend was almost inevitable. These helpful items offer

so much versatility. Puffer jackets compliment all body types and sizes; they even come in a whole bunch of different colors, from neon to dark. FABULOUS HEELS If you haven’t heard of kitten heel shoes then you’re in for a nice treat. Kitten heel shoes became one of the “it” shoes of the season. Kitten heel shoes are a type of heel that curves. The kitten heel typically tends to be around an inch or two in height. Kitten heels are great for casual events such as work or for a much more elegant event such as a gala. They are not only chic, but they are super comfortable. BEAUTIFUL SCARVES A warm, trendy scarf is an essential accessory to have during the winter season. A great thing about scarves is that they are so versatile they can be worn in various different ways. You can go the traditional way and wrap the scarf around your neck to give you that extra warmth when you are facing those cold winter days. If you want to give your outfit a little more of an edgy look take your scarf and make it into a head wrap, this can easily help with those bad hair days.

MAKE ROOM IN YOUR CLOSET FOR THESE SPRING ESSENTIALS The birds are chirping, and the days are getting longer. Spring will arrive before you know it, and we’re all ready for some fun in the sun. It’s an opportune time to get rid of those old winter clothes and give your wardrobe some love and attention. You don’t have to go super crazy spending money. You might even have some amazing things lying in your closet you haven’t even noticed. SCARVES ARE A MUST If you aren’t much of a scarf person you should really consider it. Scarves keep you snug during those early chilly mornings running to school or work as well as those late night outings with friends. Scarves can also add that extra flair and spice your outfit may be slacking. There are chunky warm scarves and there are lighter scarves perfect for accessorizing. Add a patterned scarf to a solid colored outfit or add a dark colored scarf to an outfit that has a lot going on to tone it down. ADD FLATS Ditch those winter boots and sneakers and opt for some super cute stylish flats. Flats not only can add value to your wardrobe, but they are also so comfortable. Flats can either be way over the top in bright colors and different patterns or they can be a much more neutral

shade. Flats can also go with pretty much anything: dresses, jeans, and skirts –you name it. Wear them to school, to work, and to a night out. ADD ACCESSORIES Adding accessories really can change an outfit. It can take a dull outfit and change it to something eye-catching and jaw dropping. Your options for accessories will vary; you can choose earrings, necklaces, watches, bracelets, etc. If you are going out on a date you can go ahead and pair your outfit with some cute dangly earrings. If you’re not a fan of earring, then a statement necklace is the way to go. These nifty items are great for various occasions from a first date to networking meetups. Try sporting them on your next outfit. SPRING AHEAD WITH THESE SUPER STYLES Spring is a perfect opportunity to change up your style. The sun is shining, and the weather is warmer. Whether you are adding a scarf, adding accessories to the wardrobe you have already, or your switching up your makeup looks there is a way to change your style without breaking the bank.
