Sometimes, two of the most beautiful concepts in fashion come together and it is glorious. Today, these are eyelet lace and a full-skirt dress. Cue heart palpitations.

We had gorgeous weekend weather in Vancouver (people were in their bathing suits in March, that happened). No more denial, it's officially time to break free of the winter pants prison and let your legs breathe in dresses! Bonus points for doing this look in all-over colour. I'm loving the shades of blues and greens together, it gives an already stunning dress just a liiiittle extra pop.

Simone sleeveless seamed dress, in Royal, Jade, and White, $129.

Necklace in Mint, $42, and purse in Blue, $39.

If you've already mastered the head-to-toe colour challenge, take it to the next level with head-to-toe pattern! Try a geometric print for a fresh and modern spring ensemble, and wear with confidence. A casual top knot and cat eye sunnies finish this look off purrrfectly.

Simone mixed media sheath dress, in Black/White, and Red, $115.

For most of us, buying an entirely new wardrobe every time a new season rolls around just isn't a viable option. How do you stay stylish and current without a complete overhaul? It isn't necessarily about spending more money, it's about taking a new approach to shopping. Shopping with purpose means making deliberate, conscious choices about the clothing you buy. Evaluate your needs (and wants!) at the beginning of each season, set a realistic budget, and then choose the items you want to welcome home to your wardrobe. This shopping strategy is the best way to take a tired wardrobe and bring it back to life! 

To get the most bang+confidence+compliments for your buck, find items that take on a completely new look when paired differently - something that can be dressed up and dressed down. My double duty pick this season? The coloured blazer! Right on trend without being "trendy," surprisingly versatile, and a variation on office wear that is fun! What could be finer for spring?

Tobias fitted-jacket, fully lined (striped), in butter (shown) coral, fuscia and jade. $189

What's your go-to shopping strategy? How are you planning to put it to work this spring?

As always, I love to hear from you here, on our Facebook page, or on Twitter @PlumClothing
