2) Floral Print Dress and Top

Nothing says spring like a beautiful floral print pattern. A floral print top for the office or the weekend is a great way to slip in some bright colors into your daily wardrobe for the sunny season. A floral dress is very feminine and essential for the warmer days that spring brings. Pitaya in Ann Arbor and Royal Oak Michigan have plenty of floral to wear for the spring.

3) Hats

Michigan weather is unpredictable so a stylish hat is ideal for the transition. Whether it's cold or hot, a hat comes in handy for the spring and adds flare to any outfit. Mr. Song Millinery carries hats grand enough for formal affairs and casual enough for everyday.

4) Rain Boots

April is full of rain showers therefore rain boots are a must-have for the season. There are several designer rain boots to wear that are perfect for any rainstorm and are extra stylish. Pink Pump in Royal Oak has an impressive selection of designer rain boots for a fashionista to love.

5)  Trench Coat

A trench coat is light enough for a warm up in the afternoon but has enough layers to stay warm for the early, chilly mornings. It's a compromising item that allows a fashionista to be comfortable and fashionable for spring weather. Find a trench in any length, color, and style at Kohl's.

6) A New Handbag

There's no better way to embrace spring than with a trendy, new handbag. A handbag can tie an outfit together no matter what the Michigan weather may bring. Try picking a handbag that has a pop of color for the season or a unique element to add to any outfit it is paired with.
