Picking Patterns for Spring

Whether it’s floral, polka dots, or geometric shapes, bold prints are on everything from accessories to clothing for spring 2009 collections. Don’t be afraid to make a loud statement this season with a patterned ensemble.

Join the trend by introducing a patterned dress into your wardrobe. Invest in a staple piece that can be worn to several occasions throughout the spring and summer. From weddings to picnics in the park, a patterned dress can be transformed to suit several occasions.

Try choosing neutral accessories to either dress up or dress down your outfit. Add gold bangles, a neutral colored clutch and pair of heels for an evening out. For a more relaxed look, try wood bangles, a vintage purse and sandals.
