What to Wear Now: Dark Denim

These bootcut rinse jeans from Old Navy (Buy Direct)are an affordable $25, but still manage to have a flattering color (legs look leaner in dark denim) and nice fit (a bootcut leg is perfect for balancing out heavier hips or thighs.)

What to Wear Now: White Boyfriend Shirt

There's something so chic and relaxed about a white boyfriend shirt like this, which has a slouchy fit, but not baggy (it skims the body). I'd wear it now over slim jeans with flats on the weekend, then later under a fitted jacket or vest. It would also look great tucked into low-slung khakis or paired with leggings.

Must-Have Leather Jackets

This yummy Vince leather jacket is even better looking in person (I've been admiring it in a store for quite some time). With its sleeker-than-most styling (I love the mandarin collar and lack of flaps, folds and other distractions), it makes the perfect "It" leather jacket of the season. Another great point are the less-harsh-than-black colors of army green or charcoal to choose from: both of these neutrals will go with almost anything that black will.

Denim Dressing Spring Fashion: 10 Looks to Love

Runway: Designers rework denim into rompers, dresses and shoes for spring. The edgiest looks feature head-to-toe denim: previously a fashion don't.

Reality: Head-to-toe denim may work on trendy fashionistas as a fad, but in reality the denim-everything trend is one we all love. From denim tunics worn with leggings to great denim shoes (Tory Burch has a pair you'll die for), touches of denim worn in new ways -- as jackets, dresses, rompers and shirts -- instead of just jeans looks fresh for spring. Mix denim with white, brights and neutrals. Denim is a natural for big bold pieces of nature-inspired jewelry like wood or turquoise.

Cynthia's Women's Fashion

I can already imagine how this Jeffrey Campbell (Buy Direct) sandal will lighten up all my black outfits, be a great neutral against brights like red or cobalt and even take me into the fall. Plus, it's really hot with its allover silver studs on gray (also comes two other color ways) and looks like it would even be comfortable to wear for a high heel sandal.
