3. 
    
   Colorful Cardigan

   Buy a few lightweight cardigans that you can layer over anything. Spring can have cooler days (at least on the east coast, anyway), so it is always good to layer. Choose neutral colored cardigans to wear over bolder outfits and choose bolder colored cardigans to wear over a more neutral outfit.
