With temperatures in Tallahassee hovering in the high 50s to low 60s, it’s hard to believe that spring is technically only a few weeks away. Although it doesn’t quite feel like it yet, the season of fresh flowers, sunny weather, and cute baby animals will be here faster than you can say ‘seasonal allergies.’ Here are a few ways to kiss dreary winter good-bye and bring in the spring!
1. Clean Out The Clutter

It’s time to reorganize your closet, change out your comforter, and de-clutter your desk. To keep yourself from going totally spring cleaning crazy, tackle one small project at a time. You can get rid of clothes and accessories that haven’t been worn in over six months to make room for easier organization and new items, or revamp your study space by throwing out all those old notebooks and graded assignments lying around.
2. The Victoria’s Secret Swim Show

According to color experts Pantone in their 2015 Fashion Color Report, aquamarine is the hottest shade for women for spring and summer 2015. Shades of aquamarine popped up in multiple designers’ collections at Fashion Week and will no doubt start cropping up everywhere, from clothes to shoes and even phone cases. Give your wardrobe a boost with serene blue accessories, snag a swimsuit in the soothing shade for spring break, or spring for an on-trend aquamarine manicure.
