Ahh, spring. The semester’s almost over, the flowers are blooming and the spring trends have reached stores and an Internet browser near you. But with a fashion blog overload, do you really know what to wear these days? The first step to knowing what you want is figuring out what you dont’! Make some room in your closet by throwing out these items!

      This list is stupid. Tight skirts are definitely still in, and no one should be throwing out wardrobe staples like khaki trench coats, skinnies, neutral clothes, and black flats. I'm all for adding color to a wardrobe, but there's no reason to throw out the neutrals!

      Yeah, I agree with Krista. Instead of saying that someone should throw out things that are clearly wardrobe staples, you should have the title as ways to switch up your wardrobe this spring! or something like that and then have a picture slideshow of all the clothing you mention that we should wear instead. That would make more sense.

      This is so stupid, no way should you throw these things out.

      This list seems really weak, besides the denim jacket the other things are must-have and should-keeps in every girls wardrobe! Seriously!

      Okay, just as a warning, I am not the same Krista who commented above! I am a different reader named Krista.

      Tight skirts are great, especially paired with a looser top. They are a basic that doesn't go out of style, plus then you can dance without having to worry your flippy skirt will flash people! And frankly, a hippie skirt can only be pulled off by a few people, myself not being one of them. Honestly, maxi skirts aren't worn by that many girls that I know, I've never actually seen a girl wear one.

      Neutral clothes, why ever would you throw out basics? You can't have all statement pieces, but what irked me most is the suggestion to pair an all-neutral outfit with something neon. Ew, let the soft beauty of the beige and whites and pinks speak for themselves.

      Instead of throwing things out, why don't you do a list of what to upcycle plain pieces to instead? It is a bit more eco-friendly as well.

      Adding color is a great idea. how about the tite, UPDATE your wardrobe for spring? most of us cant afford to just throw out and buy new. I ditched the skinnies months ago, but I will never ditch the Tight Skirt or any mini skirt for one of those maxi dresses. I buy those and cut them off to a more flattering length. I'm 5" tall. Those never fit or flatter. so sorry hun…your just plain wrong.

      Stupidest list ever. Know fashion before you write about it.

      This is a totally realistic post. She's not talking about throwing thee clothes out of your life, rather just for the season. If you "know" anything about fashion, you know that it changes from season to season and requires updates and sacrifices. You go glen coco
