Below are a few tips as to how to accessorize and embellish your current wardrobe to get the latest look:

Lace clothing

Lace skirts, lace dresses are dominant this season. As compared to earlier: all over, stretchy lace is no longer in fashion. The 2011 lace clothing is all about antique lace. Basically, go for wider, bolder looking lace.

How to get this look- If you are trying to go for this look on a budget then go to the nearest hobby store or an online store, where you can buy swaths of lace of your choice to dress up your existing outfits. It is great if you are handy with a needle but if you are not, no worries. Use fabric glue. It works fine and gives a neat edge to all outfits. This is also very useful if you are not sure about this look and only want a bit of lace around the edges, or some lace ruffles at sleeves or some lace at the bottom of the skirt.

Tassel

Furniture dressings are ready to enter your wardrobe. From accessorizing shoes and handbags, tassels are being used to embellish tops and bottoms as well.

How to get this look- You can easily buy matching tassels from a home store or a hobby store. It is quiet easy to attach on a tube top and make it a halter neck. Or if you are not sure, then one of the best and easiest ways to wear tassels, is to wear as a matching necklace to an outfit of your choice.

Bold colors

Bold colors such as orange, greens and magenta are going to be popular in the upcoming Spring collection.

How to get this look- If you do not want to buy new outfits then the easiest and cheapest way to get the new look is to buy a bold color scarf. You can even be a little different by buying yourself a lacey scarf. Another way to embellish your existing light colored or pastel clothing is to add big bold buttons or wear a bold colored belt on a dress.

Capri's, Cropped pants, wide-leg fashion trends

Cropped pants are making a comeback along with wide leg fashion pants.

How to get this look- It is best to buy a wide leg fashion pant if you care for this look but with cropped pants you have a choice. As the cropped pants of Spring 2011 are skinny as well as rolled up pants, you can do much with your existing skinny jeans and other pants. You can cut your skinny jeans or simply roll up your pants to get this cropped look.
