Floral prints and graphic patterns. Hot colors. Dresses. If you embrace these themes, dressing for Spring '08 will be a breeze. And while that might be a slight oversimplification, in terms of fashion, it's such an "easy" season, there's no need to stress over what to wear.

Prints of all kinds: floral, ethnic, graphic, big and small were the big story when designers showed their collections on the runways last September.  And now that they're in the stores, it's a cacophony of colors and pattern. For some, it's all a bit too much, but we've broken it all down with suggestions and guidelines so even the most print-a-phobic can add some pop to their wardrobe.

Bold bright colors are another important part of the fashion message for Spring '08, and clothes in these saturated and juicy colors are sure to continue into summer. The good news is that there are so many options and nothing's off limits: from cool blues and greens to hot oranges, yellows, reds and pinks. Find a favorite and run with it. Don't be afraid to pair touches of complementary colors within an outfit, especially if you're just adding pops of color to an outfit you already own.

Dresses make pulling together a look about as easy as pulling one over your head. But it's true, either you're a dress person or you're not. If you love dresses, this truly is the season for you, because there's a dress for every occasion, from work appropriate florals to casual errand running stripes. And if they're not really your thing - all we can say is, please, give just one a try.

The mix of colors and prints has led to all kinds of wonderful spring accessories. Chunky - almost kooky - necklaces add a dash of fun to all kinds of solid tops. Colorful shoes do the same, and when they're mixed and matched with other similar colors - like a slip of an orange tank under a jacket, a chunky yellow bangle and a red shoe worn with a black, brown or navy suit, the look is chic and modern without too much fuss.

To sum it up, dressing for spring is going to be a lot of fun. With jeans, khakis or black bottoms, wear colors and prints that you like, pair them with a complementary accessory like a shoe or bag and you're all set. Indulge in the prints and patterns that the stores are full of; you'll probably end up wearing them for years to come. And if it's all just too much, add small shots of coordinating colors to more neutral solid pieces. And if you can only purchase one thing for spring, make sure it's yellow. You'll be surprised how versatile it turns out to be.
