From Cynthia Nellis, your Guide to Women's Fashion
From sexy jumpsuits to crisp military jackets, there are enough fresh looks out there that you'll definitely need to purchase at least one new item this spring to freshen up your look.

Military Influences
How many trends can go to work at the office (like the shirtdress, left) or be knockaround casual for weekend (as in utility pants) ? The military look gets its legs from olive and khaki canvas pieces; it mixes back well with earthy pieces like rope-heel espadrille or cork wedges and wood accessories. If all that olive drab and khaki isn't your speed, add color pops in orange, coral or yellow. (Photo Credit: Nordstrom.com)

Jumpsuits
I'm partial to the strapless jumpsuits that are out there in great neutrals like white and black. Watch the leg width, though. Many of the jumpsuits in the market have wide legs which are a huge no-no if you carry any extra weight in your hips or thighs.

Mad for Plaid
I love that this trend is just as apt to show up in a work-ready blouse as a pair of waterproof flats. And, of course, there's still the plaid shirt which is a huge trend.

Fringed Bags
A little boho goes a long way, and fringed bags this season are just the right touch of hippie chic to add to everything.
