It’s likely the East Coast has seen the last of snow;
Better start preparing for cold rain instead;
An umbrella is altogether useless in the Big Apple.
This leads to me the final conclusion that the time is now to fully stock your wardrobe with spring essentials. But what exactly do I need, you ask? Here is my list of must-have items that every spring wardrobe should not do without:
Trench Coat
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Of course, I revert to Audrey Hepburn in the film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” in which the character shares a kiss with character Paul Varjak (George Peppard) in the pouring rain. Holly Golightly clutches her cat as she and Varjak, the two characters both wearing trench coats, share a passionate cinematic kiss.
Button-Up Dress
The Great Gatsby
Find yourself a light and feminine dress with buttons to make everyone think you are as sweet as Daisy Buchanan, or as sweet as the character would like others to believe in The Great Gatsby. For spring, a simple button-up dress can be worn various ways depending on your mood and the weather: with tights and knee-length boots, under a sweater vest or cashmere cardigan, with a statement necklace and long scarf. The list goes on.
Leather Skirt
Leather Escada skirt
Whether inspired by the urban West or punk rock, the leather skirt is no longer an essential fall-winter item. Designers like DSquared2, Geren Ford, Gryphon and Alexander Wang all have their versions of leather skirts and bottoms. Paired with a silk button-down top or a tank top, a leather skirt makes the transition from conference calls in the office to last call at the best rooftop bar in town. Lately, I’ve had my sights set on a brown leather skirt by See by Chloe.
