More signs of spring

• White is the color of the season. If you can't pull off a white dress, try white paired with black or an eye-popping white bag.

• Lace and crochet — they're not just for tablecloths anymore. Look for eyelet details; laser cutouts; and feminine frills on dresses, skirts and tops.

• Dots, from polka dots to Dalmatian prints, will only get bigger come fall.

• Nudes. From cream and rose to blush and buff, there's a shade to suit every skin tone.

• Wide belts are bigger than ever. Try one in patent leather, shiny crocodile prints or even elastic.

• Jewelry is earthy and personal. Try wood or stone accents and slender gold pieces that are personal, not flashy.

• Flat sandals, often jeweled or gilded, are kind on your bare feet and look great with the season's dresses.
