Spring cleaning? After a long winter (and let’s face it, they’re all long!) we’re itching to shed the layers and lighten our load. That’s especially true of how we feel about our closets. We’re ready to refresh our wardrobe when the weather starts to get warmer. Not only are we ready but we’re eager!

So what if you’re looking for a few new items to add to your closet for spring? What’s on trend and what makes for an easy wardrobe refresh? How about a new top or two to bring a little spark to your closet? A new top is an easy way to update your wardrobe - the key is to find the right top that works in your existing wardrobe - you want to maximize the versatility of your purchase!

When we think about a typical spring wardrobe, there are some consistencies we expect to see which include pastels, florals, ruffles, lace and lightweight fabrics. This season we continue to see the same consistent styles. These tops are feminine and romantic. Whether paired with jeans, a skirt or trendy wide leg pants, these tops can be worn to brunch, dinner out or the next school function.

Keep in mind that New England spring weather is the perfect example of inconsistency. The temperatures can range from 30’s to 70’s in just one day! So you might need long sleeves at the beginning of the week and then slide into something sleeveless by the end of the week. Keep your closet filled with a variety of options to meet the changing needs of Mother Nature this season.

One great place to start is the Friends and Family sale at Bloomingdales this weekend! Find fantastic options in spring tops at a discount! If you’re looking for some potential additions to your closet…. check out my favorite picks below!
