Ruth Carter
As the spring season approaches, many fashion-conscious females are contemplating what alluring accessories to choose to compliment their stylish spring wardrobes. Flowing scarves, straw hats and beanies, flashy and functional belts, aviator and retro sunglasses, brooches and pins, and costume/statement and retro/vintage jewelry are a few of the popular items to accentuate the fabulous fashions for spring 2010.

Scarves

Orvis is the place to look to find that perfect spring scarf. Two of the scarves that Orvis offers are the Waves Scarf for $79.00 and the Sheer Wool Scarf for $29.00. The Waves scarf is made in India and hosts a beautiful wave pattern of tropical colors that is sure to go well with any articles of a fashionista's spring attire. The Sheer Wool scarf is composed of lightweight merino wool and can be worn as a wrap on chilly evenings. It is available in black, purple, and blue.

Hats

Straw hats, beanies, and berets are the hats of choice for Spring 2010. Newport News has a stylish wide-brim straw hat that would compliment just about any spring outfit. This versatile hat retails for $29.00.

Athleta offers the Heart for Africa beanie by Prana which not only keeps the head warm but also helps the women who make the hat. This eco-friendly hat is reasonably priced at $22.00 and would look great with any casual spring attire.

Belts

Flashy and functional belts can spice up any spring get-up. The Sparkly Chain Belt by Newport News adds sparkle and pizzazz to that black dress or even to those faded jeans or capris. This belt with bling is available for purchase for $44.00.

The Go-To belt that Orvis sells is a functional belt that comes in a host of spring colors and would be appropriate to use with jeans, khakis, chinos, or any type of pants that require a belt. This fashionable belt is economically priced from $39.00 to $45.00.

Sunglasses

Aviator sunglasses and other retro styles are a definite go for Spring 2010. Macy's displays an assortment of suave sunglasses that are sure to please and even provides a guide for matching the shape and style of sunglasses with the appropriate facial shape. Ray Ban aviator style sunglasses are priced at $139.00, and the other styles range from $20.99 to $179.00.

Brooches/Pins

Brooches and pins are not just for chronologically mature individuals anymore. This spring, everyone is sporting them in a variety of ways.

ModCloth.com provides a number of gorgeous brooches that are simply extraordinary. One of these is the Flower Box Pin for $14.99. This colorful, cheery brooch gives the feeling of the fresh flowers that are often so reminiscent of spring and is sure to make a wonderful addition to any spring top or dress.

Another wonderful place to find unique and lovely brooches is the multitude of shops on Etsy.com. One of these online shops, Enchanted Beads, has the Deep Sea Brooch with Mother of Pearl and Blue Flower that brings images of the beach and the ocean to one's mind. This enchanting piece of art is reasonably priced at $39.00 and would be a lovely accent to any spring blouse, shirt, or sweater.

Statement/Costume Jewelry

Statement/costume jewelry is definitely making a comeback this spring. ModCloth.com provides a wide array of sparkling jewels for any fashionista's enjoyment. Two jewelry pieces from ModCloth.com that this author really loves are the Dressed Up to Dazzle earrings for $19.99 and the Saturday Night Disco Ring for $14.99. Both of these glittering pieces would look great with a dressy gown, a black dress, or even a more casual pantsuit.

Retro/Vintage Jewelry

Retro and vintage jewelry are the rule this spring, so pull out all of those decades-old goodies and enjoy. The precious mother-of-pearl sterling silver daisy ring presented by Newport News is reasonably priced at $49.00 and takes one back to the days of flower power.

The Antonia earrings designed by Wynn Studios on Etsy.com are made from classy Swarovski crystals and remind one of the glamorous days of times past. These gorgeous earrings are priced at a mere $12.00 and would look lovely with any dress.

When shopping for just the right accessories to accentuate that spring wardrobe, keep these items in mind. Have a happy, sunny spring!

    I work the Orvis part time and that Wave scarf is a HUGE hit this year. It is full of color and goes with almost any color.
