Add spunk by layering tees with different colors, patterns and textures. We started with a solid pink tank, layered on a striped cami, and topped it with a cropped, bright-green V-neck. A touch of lace adds just the right amount of softness.

Start with a fitted tee, then scrunch down last season's strapless tube dress to make a ruched empire waistline (one that sits just under your bust--very in this spring). Add a long necklace to draw the eye down and integrate the two pieces.
