1. Straw Bag

It’s still a little too cold to put away all my winter pieces just yet, so I’m freshening up my winter basics by swapping out my go-to purses for straw bags. Straw bags are great for their ability to make any transitional outfit look spring appropriate. Below I’ve featured a few adorable straw bags that will easily add a dose of spring to any outfit.

2. Add A Scarf To Your Purse

This black and white silk scarf (similar here) does two things for this look. First, it dresses up an otherwise simple straw bag. Secondly, it helps the straw bag coordinate with my all black outfit. Try this by tying a scarf around the handle of your purse. It’s a simple update that’s perfect for spring!

3. Wear A Belt

Belts not only work with pants, but they look great over dresses too! I’ve worn this dress several times before (last seen here), so I wanted to changed it up a bit by adding in a belt. Belts over dresses are not only great for adding interest, but they’re also great for accentuating the waistline. This dress (similar dress here) has more of a boxy shape and the belt helps to define the waistline. Try adding a belt over any dress you’ve worn a million times for an updated look that’s perfect for spring!

4. A Beret

Another fun accessory that will help you transition into spring is a beret! A felt beret (similar here) not only adds a little warmth to your head, but it’s a refreshing update from a winter hat. Use one to add a little pop of color to your outfit, or wear one that matches your outfit like I did here.
