 Spring is two days away and some of us are looking forward to springing forward.  There are some staple fashion items for every fashionista's checklist - fabulous dresses, a splash of color and the right fit.  This spring, maxi dresses, trapeze dresses, colorful accessories and tube dresses are a huge hit.

1. Swing into Spring with a Trapeze Dress - Trapeze dresses are every girl's dream; easy to wear, flattering on every waistline, they are easy, breezy, comfortable and now, very stylish.  Whether you're petite, pregnant or tall, the trapeze dress works for you.  Go for something, fluid, sleek and not too voluminous - volume overwhelms petite frames.  

Flats and Wedges are great footwear accessories.  Most trapeze dresses have embellished necklines, eliminating the need for necklaces, but some nice hoop earrings add some sass.  Trapeze dresses come in various colors, designs and patterns.  This spring, be bold and go for something colorful and fun.

2.  Elongate your frame with a Maxi Dress -  Maxi dresses are a great addition to any wardrobe.  They are comfortable, elegant, can work for casual or dressy events, and they tend to accentuate all shapes and sizes.  For petite frames, try to find one that does not overwhelm  your body.  

Maxi dresses are fabulous when accessorized with a nice pair of wedges, embellished sandals and even flip flops.  Add some chunky, funky jewelry and it's perfect.  Maxi dresses work on any body type - slender frames, pregnant women - with empire waists, anything goes.  They are great for camouflaging hips or problem areas. 

Maxi dresses come in all shapes, sizes and styles.  With looks ranging from bold solid colors to feminine and artistic paisley prints, there is something for every diva.  The great thing about these dresses is that they are truly versatile - Kick off your flip flops, add heels and voila, you're ready for that elegant evening soiree.  Every woman needs a hassle-free outfit - the maxi dress is it.

3.  Sashay into a tube dress - Sassy colorful tube dresses add fun to any wardrobe.  This spring, go for something colorful, light and breezy.  Try out a few dresses and get a comfortable length.  If you want to go off those hard-earned gams, then go for something sweet and short.  Either way, comfort is key.   Accessorize with a long necklace and some fab earrings. Wedges, heels, flats - everything works, depending on how casual or dressy you want to look.

4. Round up some colorful bracelets - Nothing screams spring better than colorful bangles/bracelets.  Punch up your wardrobe and your spirits with some bright, fun bracelets.  The recession is depressing enough - uplift your wardrobe and your style.  Brighten your wrists and your day.
