Are you buying new Spring fashions or recycling?

Are you buying new things or mainly updating your last years spring
wardrobe?
I expect the same things will still be wearable and see no need to rush
out and completely restock given that I have 4 closets full of clothes.
What about the following:
crop pants
long summery cottony floral skirts
jean jackets in denim or other colors
twin sets or spring summer sweater sets
the shrunken jacket look
the chanel type jacket look
citrus colors
pink
purple or lavender
chandelier earrings
long straight earrings
glizier jewelry, vintage pins, etc.
simple jewlery such as plainer silver
gold jewelry or accents
Any opinions on their fashion fate?

Hi there
I am updating since I am still minus some shoes (on order btw) and
also some tops/blouses in the right colors . I went and cleaned out the
closet.. and need to do it again.. so
I have more than sufficient jeans but would like colored twill jeans
for spring. won't do pink as I have way too much and don't want to look
like a paint splotch .. but I would do green or turquoise.
also need more body conscious blouses in solid brighter pink and
turquoise and blue.. thinking I saw a couple of shirts in VS catalogue
plus a stripe shirt I would wear. Would love to find more vintage
inspired styles than what I am finding out there so anyone who has any
ideas please let me know.
I would love to snag a twinset..
need a grey suit actually.
bought the shrunken jacket and the chanel inspired jackets are already
in my wardrobe
citrus colors are hot.. so buy those.. but not in super trendy styles
if you want to keep wearing them
pink is definitely still on the menu as is shades of lilac and orchid
and even dusty purple
try smaller chandelier earrings.. carpet dusters or sweepers are
shorter too (those long straight earrings)
the pins are on their way out albeit slowly. what you are seeing is
them in the ads, not in the editorial pages.
simple jewelry, chunky fun beads
any color gold or silver is dandy .. whatever works for your skintone.
I would like a fluttery shorter print skirt that would work with a jean
jacket, with a twin set and tees as well as the vintage tops.
Plus I will need a couple pairs of new sandals too

As always, I'm buying things to add to my existing wardrobe. I want to
base my spring and summer wardrobe on skirts, and I've seen lots of
interesting skirts this year, so my beginning focus will be on that.
While web–surfing, I found a designer I'd not seen before. Her name is
Cynthia Ashby, and her stuff looks like a higher–quality CP Shades.
Everything is washable crinkly–looking linen and gauze, and looks like
it would need little or no ironing. I ordered a skirt, tank top, and
blouse, which unfortunately won't arrive until April. Also saw some
skirts I liked on Anthropologie's web site. I love jackets and they're
supposed to be big this spring, but it's just too warm and humid here
(already!)...the very thought of a shrunken jacket makes me feel
uncomfortable.

as for me, I'm now on a strict regime of not spending too much. So I
will definitely focus on accessories, with scarves being my total
weakness. I have loads of them and I usually wear one every day. I
also love the long pendant style necklaces that are in these days...
love double wrapping them around my neck and letting them flop down–––
good way to minimise a big chest too!
