Use it or lose it? What you should pack away this spring

So far, StyleDash has given you loads of advice on what's hot for spring, so you probably know what you should be shopping for, buying, and wearing. However, even if you incorporate those new styles, you're not going to achieve the look unless you pack away some of your winter items first.

Bag Snob gives a rundown of what bags to "Flash or Stash" this season, and these same ideas can be used on other parts of your outfit. For example, fur and suede are heavy, warm materials that are best saved for cooler months. Same thing goes for items with lots of beading and embellishments -- hold them for the holidays. And, unless you're visiting your Aunt Dorothy in her retirement home in Boca Raton, you should probably keep the wild animal prints to a minimum (however, I kinda love a little touch of leopard just about any time of year, but that's just me).

What's getting pushed to the back of your closet this season? And what are you most excited to bring out from hibernation?
