Spring is here! Isn’t is wonderful? Last weekend I dug out my spring/summer clothes that I had put away last fall. They are like old friends. I missed you, lovely skirts and dresses!

On Wednesday, I decided to wear something to celebrate spring. I used a few of my basic pieces (black sheath dress & green cardigan), but I thought it looked boring and not spring-y enough. So I pulled out this awesome Vera Neumann scarf. Check it out.

Look how good my nails and camera look!

I received so many compliments on my scarf! It was great. I think it was just different enough that people noticed it. So if you’re looking to try something new, the head scarf is definitely in for spring.

(I want to figure out how to do a turban too. I might check out some YouTube tutorials this weekend. I will post pictures if I find any that I like!)

The other great thing about this outfit is that everything was either second-hand and/or cheap. You don’t have to drop a lot of money to look good! The scarf and cardigan (and camera!) I bought second-hand. The earrings are from Etsy. The necklace was a gift (Debbie has one too!). I bought this dress at JC Penney three years ago for maybe $15; my cost-per-wear at this point is pennies.

So my challenge for you this weekend is to play dress up in your closet. See what you already have that you can wear in a new way!

Are you doing anything new for spring fashion-wise? I would love to hear ideas for other minimalist trends!
