What is it about spring sunshine that puts us in the mood to shop? And with the Sun’s move into the highly commercial realm of Taurus last week, it’s only going to get worse! Just remember that it's not the cinched waist that makes the dress, it's the personality of the cinch--ee who's wearing it! So what new look is going to suit you?
Aries
With big vacation plans, you'd rather spend your hard-earned money on travel tickets than attire, which is precisely what makes the term "vintage" so appealing now. You'll find hot brands second hand, and find a foxy way to rework the pieces you already have.
Essential spring gear: A chunky baroque necklace.
Taurus
Spring is for tapping your inner Venus and reveling in your glorious girlishness. From your chandelier earrings to your Easter egg-colored pedicure, you're she-riffic.
Essential spring gear: A pastel party dress.
Gemini
You have a blast playing your twinny opposites. You're colleagues wouldn't guess that the same girl who's wearing the cashmere sweater set can also be seen after hours in a punk-rock zipper dress and biker boots.
Essential spring gear: Bangles that mean business.
Cancer
You know better than to wait until summer to buy your beachwear. The best pieces are on the racks now and you'll snatch up a few more options than usual too, as you're planning some serious leisure in the weeks to come.
Essential spring gear: A glamorous swimsuit cover-up.
Leo
Wave buh-bye to the sweats and yoga pants. This spring the Lion is a femme fatale who wouldn't be caught dead wallowing in comfort when she could be prancing in peep-toe kitten heels.
Essential spring gear: A handbag as flirty as you are.
Virgo
You’re truly gorgeous in an unadorned state. That's because you know the secret: "natural" doesn't come so naturally. There's a lot of work that goes into looking hot in your favorite jeans or the simple body-skimming sheath dress. The adoring attention you get makes it seem so worthwhile.
Essential spring gear: A perfectly plain white T-shirt.
Libra
Why settle for "appropriate" when you can go for "memorable?" Your creative spirit is in full bloom, which inspires you to add a touch of art-school cool to your repertoire. You're drawn to the unusual, especially if it's adorably nerdy.
Essential spring gear: Statement glasses.
Scorpio
Your dance card is about to fill up, Scorpio, so it's essential that you invest in eveningwear -- you wouldn't want to be seen sipping cocktails in the same frock night after night, would you? Get vibrant-colored separates you can mix and match with all that black in your closet.
Essential spring gear: Lingerie as sweetly festive as a cupcake.
Sagittarius
You'll be the height of sophistication as you pull together a look from multicultural influences. It may come from all over the world, but the sum total is "so you." Opt for fabrics that will be wrinkle free even after a 12-hour ride in your suitcase. Essential spring gear: An embroidered top.
Capricorn
Your recent swell in popularity puts new demands on you and your wardrobe. You no longer need outfits that merely go day-to-night. You also need them to go east-to-west and north-to-south. You'll gain a new respect for the versatility of quality materials like silk and leather.
Essential spring gear: Skeggings -- if you dare!
Aquarius
You're more convicted than ever in your offbeat choices. You can wear idiosyncratic-nerdy like you invented it, or put a futuristic twist on a classic that would give a Project Runway designer a run for their money.
Essential spring gear: Bangles that mean business.
Pisces
Your soulful yearnings are reflected in the playful contradictions of your fashion choices. And though you're certainly not out to impress anyone, the way you layer patterns or play with splashes of color will amalgamate into your own marvelous brand of lo-fi glamour.
Essential spring gear: A stunning ring -- try aquamarine.
