Set It Off

Spring is finally HERE (at least on paper lol). You may not have seen the side effects of Spring yet, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun getting your closet prepared. Spring offers beautiful color palettes, great silhouettes, and awesome duos that will help you set it off like a true fashionista.

I've mentioned short sets before here on Ali's Fashion Sense, but they have found their ways back to Springs center stage this year. Short sets are charming yet offer a hint of contradiction. But you know what I like to say....BREAK THE FASHION RULES! Short suits offer a chic look almost suitable for the office yet a playful twist that will allow you to enjoy a night on the town!

Check out these runway looks and affordable grabs.

Don't ruin your classy short suit by wearing the wrong shoes. Try pairing your suit with streamlined footwear like sandals, wedges, pumps, flats etc.
