The consignment trend is in at high end shops that sell designer and name brand fashions. You can get assistance and advice on how to put your look together whether you are looking to be cute or sassy. Stripes seem to be very popular for the spring season. Accessorize with chain belts, long necklaces but don't forget sunglasses. If choosing a plain colored shirt, pick something that will pop like a bold orange or lime that can be playful or cool.
