The Spring Pieces and Prints You Need In Your Closet Now (Even Though It Doesn't Feel Like Spring At All)
Even though it may not really feel like spring outside yet in most parts of the country, it's safe to say that we've all had enough of bundling up in dark colors for winter. Between fun florals (am I the only one thinking of this right now?), great pastels, and light, cheery patterns — we're ready for spring fashion in all its glory. Here are 17 of the best spring pieces you should buy ASAP (or at least as soon as it gets even remotely warm).
Floral Dress
Why wake up and smell the flowers when you can wear them? Exactly.
