Is Your Closet Ready For Spring?

NYFW's Spring 2014 collections from major designers focused on bright colors paired with pastel neutrals and bold prints and textures. As we transition from the brutal NYC winter into the effervescent Spring, it leads me to wonder if everyone's closet is as Spring ready as it should be. Not quite sure if yours is or isn't? Here are a few Spring essentials that are sure to prepare even the most unprepared fashionista (although fashionistas are rarely ever unprepared...helluuurrrr)

Bright Colors

This beautiful orange neoprene strapless dress with a flared skirt is the embodiment of Spring. Neoprene is usually a material used for dresses with a lot of structure so the flare in the skirt shows off how the material can also hold volume. Pair this with matching orange peep toe heels or a bold kiwi green or  banana yellow pump.
