But before you get all juiced up about shopping for a new spring wardrobe, check out these tips from the world's top fashion bloggers whose savvy advice is packed into a creative new book, "Style Yourself," by Jane Aldridge.
--Address the issue. How about brightening up the occasion with a new dress? And don't make it just any ol' dress. Red dresses are always a Valentine tradition, but check out the new graphic floral prints popping up in the stores right now.
1) Graphic Prints. Whether it's a new floral blouse, a striped skirt or a batik dress, the prints this spring are big, bright and bold. This is not a fashion trend for the wallflowers out there. Look for pieces that stand out, and don't be afraid to mix and match them from head to toe.
Sale, sale, sale. Everywhere there's a sale now. It's out with the wintry wardrobes and in with the latest springtime trends. At this time of year, discounted merchandise is ripe for the picking ... but there are some precautions to take before you fill up your shopping cart and whip out the credit card.
"If you can get the right items on sale, great," say fashion experts Jill Martin and Dana Ravich, co-authors of "I Have Nothing To Wear!" "Sometimes even the classic basics go on sale. Stores are always receiving new merchandise and need to make room, so sometimes you can find exactly what you need on the sale rack."
