Wide Legged Trousers

If you haven’t joined this boat yet, get yourself a pair of wide legged trousers this season. These bottoms are ultra-chic and not only for tall girls. They are a great way to elongate short girls frames, high waisted wide legged trousers create an illusion

of a taller slimmer look. On the warmer days of spring trousers

are more comfortable and can still be worn in a business casual

setting. Here’s a hint: style with a crop top or a tucked in shirt,

proportion is key. ($42) Nordstrom, 290 Speen

Street, Natick, www.nordstrom.com

Orange is the New Black

You keep hearing this phrase right? Get yourself an

orange statement piece for this spring. Add some flare to your

neutrals with an orange blazer from The Oxford Trunk for $50. If you

aren’t that bold, aim for some orange accessories like a statement

necklace, wrap bracelet, or clutch. This color made its way all over

the runways and will probably fall into summer so it’s worth putting some pieces in your closet this spring. The Oxford Trunk, www.theoxfordtrunk.com and Bauble Bar, www.baublebar.com
