This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Scranton chapter.

Say a long farewell to winter, ladies! Spring is finally here and its here to stay! Kiss your chunky sweaters and leather boots goodbye. It is time to embrace spring and welcome the warmth by showing a little skin and displaying your flawless fashion sense. Do this by taking trip to your nearest mall and spruce up your wardrobe with these 7 essentials:

1. A Reliable Pair of Sunglasses

Please don’t buy another $15 pair at Claire’s that is bound to break by the time summer starts. Sunglasses are an everyday accessory, so put a little thought into it girls! Pick a versatile, classic pair to last you for many seasons to come.  

2. A Jean Jacket 

The jean jacket is America’s staple item. Your grandparents wore it, your parents wore it and your children will wear it. All I need to say is invest my friends, invest. 

3. A Pair of High Gladiator Sandals 

Just because. Why wouldn’t you want to feel like a Greek goddess??

4. A Long Kimono

Easy and breezy, kimonos are the perfect topping to perfect an outfit. Get them all- they range in floral to lace to solid colors. Go kimono crazy! 

5. A Solid Color Leotard

American Apparel has a killer collection of ‘em. Leotards seamlessly form to your body and match with any bottom. You’re never going to fret about pulling your shirt down. Pinky promise, you’ll thank yourself later.

6. A Pair of White Jeans

Waiting till Memorial Day isn’t a thing anymore- white jeans are the answer. Any time, any day, anywhere, please just throw them on. Either dress it up with a pair of heels or throw on some flip-flops, investing in white jeans is a MUST. 

7. A Good Self-Tanner

Putting yourself at risk for cancer isn’t cool, but making a little trip to St. Tropez is cool. You will not regret purchasing St Tropez self- tanning mousse (Absolutely no streaky-ness is included) Lather yourself and watch your tan build!
