A little bit of oomph!

The stores are starting to showcase Spring clothes but most of us cannot even think about Spring clothes with snow on the ground and temperatures below the freezing mark. So how to add a bit of oomph to your closet without breaking the bank? Accessories!

Ok admittedly our number one way is with handbags. But they really can add a splash of color and a fresh look to say a brown turtleneck and jeans. You know the drill - the bag does not have to match the shoes and you can mix patterns. Speaking of shoes…another great way to add oomph to your wardrobe. Choose shoes in a fabulous color and you can easily create a slimming effect all over.

Scarves are everywhere and priced affordably. Just be sure to pick a flattering color for your skin tone because you are going to wear the scarf close to your face. And then there’s the jewelry. Bold statement pieces take an outfit from blah to wow instantly. We love stacked bracelets in gorgeous colors. Just don’t overdo it!

Belts are another great accessory. Chain belts, wide leather belts, skinny belts or even scarf belts all work to add a pop of color and accentuate your waist.

Spend some time mixing and matching these accessory pieces with your current wardrobe. We love the belt featured from New York and Company for $16.06. Wear it over a jacket or sweater - instant color!

What's your favorite way to add spark to your wardrobe?
