Spring has sprung and now is the time to update or buy just a few more pieces to add something to your wardrobe or body that puts you in the mood and in the right style for you to enjoy the season.

Aries: You may love to buy a bit of bright rain gear! On the go as you are, there is nothing like lifting your spirits with a splash of red, for example in a raincoat or an umbrella. You might try a red plastic shopping bag to carry all your acquisitions or even, if you dare, a brightly colored hat! I know, Aries hates anything on their head so the hat may not be you but if you are an Aries that shows off their hair, you might opt for the bright colored hat for those rainy days when your hair is not going to be or stay at it’s best.

Give up those skinny jeans for a pair of baggie pants that are fitted at the waist and tailored down the leg and you will find that if you pair them with a fitted top they are just as sexy as your look when you wear your jeans that you’ve been wearing time and again! Go out and get a hair cut that works with your natural waves, or lack of, since natural hair is so very “in” this season and you so dislike working on your hair anyway! A good hairdresser can give you a wash and wear cut that can last through the spring and summer rain by bouncing back for you each time it gets a bit wet out there!

Remember that your style is very popular right now in the way you don’t like to plaster your face with make up! You’d do yourself good if you have blonde or brownish blonde hair to invest in a cherry red lipstick or stain to wear with a natural face for it adds a sexy touch that is undeniable when you look at it. Wear your new lipstick with a tan or without because it’s just as stunning either way! Also, you might add that shock of color in a pair of rain boots because there are so many out there right now that are of any price point and that make a statement with pattern or color. Wear your new rain boots with skirts or summer shorts, even the occasional summer dress and you make an Aries “I’m here” statement without much effort!

Taurus: Taurus, you of all signs need a hair cut this season. You tend to find a style that works for you and stick with it, but updating it a bit is a good idea this season. Bangs, for example, are very hip right now and I mean LONG bangs and not the usual bang. If you have long hair because you love the luxury of feeling it along your skin you can still wear the long bang and look lovely in it. It also hides flaws and is very sexy! Since you do love luxury but are casual about it you might try the new look of an embellished tank top, even a sequined tank under a utility jacket! A utility jacket is very sexy this season and when layered over something that is very glamorous and elegant like a tank that is embellished it brings the tank down to day wear or even casual evening wear and looks very “now.” Buy your new spring utility jacket in a soft, soft cotton that you can wash because you love soft against your skin and wear it with just about everything in your closet for a pulled together look!

You also might like the new maxi dresses that are out with a fitted top and a long, not too billowing skirt that make anyone look great in the spring when paired with a casual jacket. A lot of women are wearing these new maxi dresses in prints but I think that a print with only two colors is the easiest to wear and for you, who look great as natural as can be, two colors are enough in any spring print to bring out your natural beauty. Find one that you can wear with your flip flops and throw it on no matter where you are going and look well dressed and well within the trends of the season. I expect the maxi dress in the spring will last into other seasons and you are one that likes to invest in your wardrobe and not spend on something you are likely to wear only once or twice and have it go “out of style.”

Not one to waste money, think of adding about four or five pieces to your existing wardrobe to update it and make it spring/summer ready. Embellishment is something I love on a Taurus because there are so many T’s and tanks that have it now that it is almost a no-brainer to find one that looks great on you and shows that leaning you have for the opulent without going over budget and without going overboard with your look. Since you are a Taurus never buy anything that doesn’t fit perfectly and feel right on. You want quality fabric and arm holes that fit well and don’t pull. Make sure your tops are fitting exactly on top or don’t settle! The less a Taurus wears the better because it flatters their “no-nonsense” approach to dressing themselves and it is part of their charm to do things simply but with great class and ease. Ease is your keyword as well when you are shopping for spring and summer. The last thing I might suggest for you is if you have long hair you are a great candidate for the braid. By the braid I mean the latest use of a braid which is one large braid to the side or a braid through your bangs to the side in the front of your face. Experiment! It’s a natural look and still have a touch of luxury to it.

Gemini: Gemini, you should try to find yourself a pair of white jeans or pants to go with just about any color you choose to wear this season since you love color and white just looks fresh now in pants of any kind. Don’t worry about them getting dirty, just make sure you can throw them in your washer and wash them up quick as can be with the rest of your whites. White pants can go classic when worn with navy, for example, or red, and can go ethnic when worn with ethnic print tops or even try them with the boho tops that abound out there when you are shopping around. In the spring a pair of white pants do a Gemini proud because you can carry off any character you choose depending on what you pair with them! You might try mixing prints this season and it’s easier than you think. All you have to do is choose prints from the same color family and use a small print with very small pattern on the bottom and a slightly larger print on top. If the print is larger than your fist it is too big but there are all sorts of prints out there, maybe even in your closet, that will work for this look which is interesting and very intellectual when you think about it because you HAVE to think about it to pull it off! If you dare try this look I promise you that you will love it and do it over and over again!

Bright swatches of makeup are very rippin’ right now and you might try them on your interesting eyes. Making up your eyes is a good idea because you get into conversations which cause people to watch your eyes and you can wear these bright colors on your eyes because you are so expressive. You want to go with two colors on your eyes this season, two bright colors. You don’t have to color your entire lid, in fact it might be “you” to use one bright color to line your upper eye and another to smooth over your top lid, but not your entire top lid just the bottom portion of it. This style looks new and interesting without being very hard to pull off and time consuming. You can get these colors from companies like Urban Decay, Nars or MAC and with MAC you can use water to apply the color and even use water and use the shadow as a bright liner like discussed above. it might behoove you to invest in some eye color so you can keep you eyes interesting, again, because people tend to look at you when you are doing what you do best: communicating!

Gemini, when you are shopping, remember that when you find a T or a tank or a top that you love you should buy it in more than one color. You never know what you will want to wear when it comes to color each morning so it’s great to have a top that will fit your plans each day and having more than one choice is a great idea if the fit is good. Stay with close-fitting tops when you wear loose on the bottom in the way of things like skirts, and you should have a look that takes you through the season. If you wear flip flops or easy shoes you might like colored shoes too and remember to buy in more than one color if you love the design in this case as well. Embellished thongs look great on your Gemini feet and bright toenail color. Look for nail color in the same companies I mentioned above to show off your love of color and to make you spring look even more intellectually complex and interesting!

“Bright swatches of makeup are very rippin’ right now and you might try them on your interesting eyes.”

That would be a good idea. I need to grow a pair, I have blue-green eyes and red hair and all I know how to wear is brown eyeshadow, maybe could try something crazier. What do you think would go?

@Dina I don’t know what Annalisa would say but I would say a moldering lavender color would be gorgeous!

Dina,
MAC cosmetics has a few orange colors that would flatter your eyes very nicely or you might try a mustard color for a change. I would apply them with water to get a deep and true color and you should be looking lovely in no time.
I do agree that a purple would work as well but you might get the result you already do with a brown unless it is a bright purple.
Be brave, be daring, be GEMINI!
Yours,
Annalisa, parent of a Gemini~

P.S. Remember to try lining with a different color than what is on your lid. A lavender would look lovely as a liner or even a deep purple.

Annalisa, I like the idea of dressing for my Venus (Aries) but my ass is my best ass-et and baggy trousers make it look bad. Any suggestions on keeping my butt looking good in the pant department.

Signed, Chrispito (picky about shoes: even pickier about pants)

Chrispito,
Of course you’re picky about showing off your ass-ets! ha!
Baggier pants can have great butts. All you do is make sure the waistband of the pant is right at the top of your butt and that the pant is filled out exactly right with no extra fabric on the sides of your butt to add weight. The effect is a well shown off ass-et that is encased instead of wrapped, per say. Make sure the inseam of the pant comes right up to where your inseam belongs and don’t buy pants that the crotch drags down on you. This way you have a great butt fit but have roomy legs and so have that baggy fit but a great butt showing too!
Hope this helps, I’m picky too!

THANK YOU Annalisa! It’s all about the inseam, it seems. (Uh oh, bad pun alert). You are so good at what you do!:)

My Aries sun LOVES the idea of a red shopping bag :)

I have Venus in Taurus, and I do love my comfort so this “Since you are a Taurus never buy anything that doesn’t fit perfectly and feel right on.” makes perfect sense and is very good advice.

I have, in the past bought stuff that I wasn’t 100% happy with, like a pair of shoes that hurt, or a dress that wasn’t quite fitted enough, and have ended up never wearing them, ever!

Annalisa – thank you for these fun bits. You actually helped me – finally! -understand why I didn’t wear half my wardrobe. I’d fall in love with the color or print or fabric and then never wear it. I shop almost exclusively at the thrift store for clothes so I can feel the fabric. I can touch and pick out natural fabrics just by touching and looking BUT there is a complaint I’d like to register.

Big IF here….If you ever have the chance to talk to big fashion houses, designers etc. Please tell them they’re screwing up – BIG TIME. I buy these pretty, practical solid pieces, you know a silk linen blend and then I never wear it. Not once. Why? Because it’s lined in polyester and makes my skin crawl. Tell them if they’re going to spend the money on natural fabrics they might as well line it in natural fabrics too. I’ve started looking online at the big fashion houses (expensive places) figuring if I spend 70 dollars on a shirt I expect it to be good and last (I’m talking 10 years here for that kind of money – in my world that is) and that there I might find something with real fibers… but no, they’re worse than the cheap places or the second hand stuff. I’m now purging everything with poly lining as now I realize why I wear so much unlined stuff or just cannot find anything in my wardrobe to wear. It sounds funny but when you’re job hunting (again) and can’t just wear overalls to the interview ;) this sucks.

I don’t care if the lining is plain cotton or what but something, ANYTHING that is natural fabric lining to go with the natural fabric outside.

–Signed (obviously) a Taurus :D

Oh and if you guys can’t laugh at my pain… well, your loss. I hope you guys can find humor in the torture that I’m going through. And no, I’m the poor girl from the country that never thought I’d be a fabric snob and here I am. So laugh, please, laugh :D

I so agree, mudlikesubstance!! Believe it or not there are lines that DO line their clothing in cotton. You have to look for them but they are out there. I cannot stand poly on my skin and I’m allergic to that type of fabric so I’m on your side, no question.
It is a bit dull of them, true!

DKNY natural usually lines in cotton and so does Eileen Fisher if you like classics. Trouble is they charge. Their pieces are about 200 a piece!

Oh my, that IS expensive. I finally, thanks to you, figured this out and so am looking at linings now at the thrift store and might look through Ebay now that I know some names of lines. The poor sellers are all going to be asked “but what is the lining made from” :D

Oh and ROFL on the Eileen Fisher, I had no idea who she was 10 years ago and some boyfriend of mine thought I should be in her clothes (pisces guy, swore he was gay but he’s not) and now, so many years later, I’ll have to tell him he was right!! :D

I bought myself a pair of bright white rain boots and a whole lot of red in my wardrobe (and I own a bright red trenchcoat)… So indeed – very spot on about Aries :)

I can just picture your rain gear and it’s a great picture, indeed! Have fun!
