Office Fashion Guide for Spring '09

The spring season is now upon us this year and it is time to start updating our fashions for it. That, of course, includes what you wear to the office. Here is a wonderful guide that will help you find all of the great pieces that you need and can incorporate into your current wardrobe to be up to date at the office this spring.

When shopping for bigger pieces to wear to the office, go with shorter dresses, ones that are draped and "pinned" at the side are popular this spring. When choosing pants, opt for wider legged tailored types of pants and pair them with shorter sleeved shirts. I like short sleeves that have a slight puff to them. Shirts with embellishments at the top are a cute pick for the office this season.

When selecting new accent pieces for the office, I suggest tailored jackets. Long tailored jackets and even cardigans can go great with your dresses. If you are wearing pants and a short sleeved shirt don't opt for a jacket or go with a short tailored jacket. Weather you choose pants or a dress; pair the outfit with a large bag. Leather or crocodile and python skin bags are very hot at the office this spring.

When pairing jewelry with your office outfits this season, choose elegant but slightly embellished earrings, large cuff bracelets, elegant watches, and charm bracelets. If you are opting for a pants suit, pair it with long and sparkling necklaces, but only if your shirt isn't embellished at the top.

No office look would be complete with out great shoes to go with it. This season's hot picks for shoes are high heeled or even platform sandals, and round toed flats being worn with pants suits. Brightly colored shoes are a sure pick as well as snake skin shoes. Pairing your shoes with your bag is always a wonderful fashion trick. Shoes that are slightly embellished or with a lot of straps are great picks for spring as well.

Now you are armed and ready to search through your closet and jewelry box for all of these wonderful things you may already have amid your collection. If you find you are missing some essential pieces to update your look this spring, head to your favorite stores armed with the pointers in this guide to help you shop smart this spring season.
