				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new season is the ultimate excuse to add new pieces to my wardrobe. And this spring, I&#8217;m craving styles that are classic, yet fresh &#8211; no more winter drudgery here. Below, peep the five essential pieces I plan on scooping up for my seasonal spree &#8211; then get ready to take on a closet revamp of your own.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-42046" alt="Spring Wardrobe Pieces" src="http://www.ruelala.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Unknown.jpeg" width="570" height="570" /></p>
<p><strong>1. Neutral leather jacket:</strong> As good for spring as they are for <a href="http://www.elle.com/fashion/trend-reports/best-designer-leather-jackets-women#slide-1" target="_blank">fall</a>, leather jackets add a just-right pop of edge. Lightweight but still warm enough to protect against breezy winds, this tan jacket will look great over everything. I love the striking contrast it adds to girly sundresses, and it makes jeans-and-a-tee even cooler. (Bonus points for the snazzy collar on this one.)</p>
<p><strong>2. Something yellow: </strong>To me, nothing screams <em>spring</em> like a nice dose of yellow. It popped up all over <a href="http://www.stylebistro.com/Spring+2013's+Biggest+Runway+Fashion+Trends/articles/97lXkoHcJa4/Spring+2013+Runway+Trend+Yellow" target="_blank">runway collections for this season</a>, and while the hue may seem like it&#8217;s not for everyone, there is definitely a <a href="http://www.thefashionspot.com/style-trends/news//174713-runway-inspiration-how-to-wear-yellow/?slide=1" target="_blank"><em>shade</em> for everyone</a>. This breezy top in a soft, pale yellow is bright and sunny without being too in-your-face.</p>
<p><strong>3. Printed pants: </strong><a href="http://www.ruelala.com/blog/2013/03/14/rue-road-test-wear-floral-print-pants-3-ways/" target="_blank">Printed denim</a> is having a <a href="http://www.refinery29.com/printed-jeans" target="_blank">major moment</a>. These pants add some fun flair, whether kept simple or dressed up for <a href="http://www.refinery29.com/printed-pants" target="_blank">girls&#8217; night</a>. While they&#8217;re not denim, they have the trend down pat.</p>
<p><strong>4. Bright maxi dress: </strong>Maxi dresses are the epitome of laid-back style, and I love this one in a vibrant orange. Outfit inspiration: It&#8217;s just begging to be paired with the aforementioned leather jacket.</p>
<p><strong>5. Slouchy tank:</strong> If I could afford to buy a slouchy tank in every hue, I would. Wear them under a blazer, with jeans and a cardigan, or solo with cutoffs when summer hits full stride.<em><br />
</em></p>
<p>Got a dose of sartorial spring fever yet? I thought so.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-35497" title="A Day in the Life of the Modern Businessman" alt="Unknown" src="http://www.ruelala.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Unknown2-567x1024.png" width="567" height="1024" /></p>
<p><strong>6AM</strong>: Early morning run. Resolutions aren’t so hard to keep when the music (literally) <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5974459/cruise-control-run-automatically-matches-music-to-your-running-pace" target="_blank">plays to your own beat</a>.</p>
<p><strong>7AM</strong>: Choose a room-commanding power suit (just follow <a href="http://www.gq.com/?us_site=y" target="_blank"><i>GQ&#8217;s</i></a> <a href="http://www.gq.com/how-to/fashion/200707/gq-primer-suit-your-shape-slideshow#slide=1" target="_blank">tips for each body type</a>) and remember to add accessories. Cuff links and accent socks go a long way.</p>
<p><strong>8AM:</strong> Grab a cup of coffee and get to the office early to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQy-gTH0nN8" target="_blank">crush it</a>.</p>
<p><strong>9:30AM</strong>: Client meetings all morning. Although this is run-of-the-mill, don’t forget to brush up on your <a href="http://www.americanbar.org/groups/young_lawyers/publications/the_101_201_practice_series/ten_tips_to_a_successful_first_client_meeting.html" target="_blank">meeting skills</a> to keep things running smoothly.</p>
<p><strong>12PM</strong>: Conduct a meeting with senior management. Just don’t forget the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBeHiPabqBE" target="_blank">fundamentals</a> of business.</p>
<p><strong>1PM</strong>: Lunch with the guys. Get away from the office for a quick bite, a walk, anything to help you clear your mind for an hour or so. <a href="http://www.ns.umich.edu/new/releases/20188-got-creative-block-get-out-of-your-office-and-go-for-a-walk" target="_blank">Studies show</a> that leaving your cube helps you think outside the box.</p>
<p><strong>2PM</strong>: Take a client call and work on proposals and paperwork. This time also usually includes tweeting. That’s right – <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/the-top-20-writers-every-small-business-entrepeneur-should-follow-on-twitter-2010-12?op=1" target="_blank">businessmen tweet</a>, too.</p>
<p><strong>6PM</strong>: Happy hour with coworkers and dinner on the town. Swap your office attire for a more casual button-down before heading out (yes, this requires planning ahead). Go for something with a fun, printed cuff to stand out from the sea of suits.</p>
<p>Our <a href="http://www.ruelala.com/event?cm_sp=blog-_-daily-grind-_-01122013" target="_blank">Workplace Warriors: Men’s Suiting Essentials</a> Boutique opens Saturday, January 12, at 11AM ET.</p>
