There was still snow on the ground, and my weather app said that it was technically freezing. But, I refused to hold onto winter any longer. I put my winter clothes into storage, and went on a shopping spree, ready to welcome springtime into my life. Here\u2019s what I bought:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Jersey Dress<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A perfect dress is one that I can \u201clive in.\u201d To me that means that it looks great, feels comfortable, and can be worn to the park with my son, or to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilebox.com\/maker\/invitation-maker\/graduation\/\">my cousin\u2019s graduation bash<\/a>. This season, that dress is the jersey dress \u2014 made from a light and stretchy material that hugs my body in all the right places. Whether I wear it with strappy sandals, sneakers, or flip flops, I always look and feel incredible in it.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Anything Yellow, Neon, or Pink<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1031\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smilebox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/shutterstock_380539786.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock_380539786\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\"><\/p>\n<p>As a native New Yorker, I actually find it difficult to buy clothing that isn\u2019t black, white or gray. But when spring rolls around, I find myself craving color. This year, bright colors are in. And when I say bright, I mean the kind of colors that may make your eyes hurt. But that\u2019s what sunglasses are for, right? I decided to be daring and introduced a neon tank top to my wardrobe. I figured I\u2019d wear it with a cardigan. Maybe when I\u2019m feeling daring, I\u2019ll unbutton it a bit and let the color shine through.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Shoulder-Revealing Shirts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Shoulders are front and center this season with runways featuring off-the-shoulder looks, as well as shirts with shoulder cut-outs. I think the shoulder is one of the most underrated body parts. After all, they truly carry so much weight, with backpacks, baby carriers, and pocketbooks slung over them. This year, I\u2019m excited to give my shoulders some spotlight \u2014 and sun!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Flowers Galore<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1032\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smilebox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/shutterstock_221335003.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock_221335003\" width=\"1000\" height=\"527\"><\/p>\n<p>I live near one of Manhattan\u2019s most beautiful and underrated parks \u2014 Fort Tryon Park. In its entrance is a narrow pathway with colorful flowers spilling out in every direction. This year, floral prints are in, and I can\u2019t wait to traipse down the path in a flowery dress, fading into the beautiful surroundings.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Loose Spaghetti Strap Tank Top<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Thank you, fashion world, for introducing clothing that\u2019s loose, light, and extremely versatile. This season, that is the spaghetti strap tank top. It\u2019s easy to throw on, and can be paired with tight jeans, short shorts, leggings, and even a skirt. After buying one, I immediately called our babysitter and asked if she could watch our son on Saturday night. I was excited to wear my spaghetti strap tank top and check out the new Brazilian bar in our neighborhood with my man, and a few of our friends. I even sent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilebox.com\/maker\/invitation-maker\/\">invitations to everyone<\/a>, inviting them to join in on the fun.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Slogan Tees<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1033\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smilebox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/shutterstock_404771155.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock_404771155\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\"><\/p>\n<p>Say it loud, wear it proud! Slogan tees are the new Facebook posts \u2014 an amazing way to tell the world what you stand for. They\u2019re super fun and great conversation starters. When I wore my \u201cLove Being a Working Mom\u201d tee, I got lots of thumbs up and \u201cyou go girl!\u201ds while walking down the street. I have never felt so empowered while doing errands.<\/p>\n<p>What are your favorite springtime fashion items?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since my calendar announced that it was March 20th, I decided that it was time to embrace springtime.
