1. Lighten up. Select lighter fabrics, scarves, sweater knits.
2. Brighten up. Go for a bright color once in a while, and shake off the winter blacks.
3. Show a little skin. If you can, remove your tights, roll up your sleeves, or just wear flats and let the tops of your feet poke out.
Once you've got those nailed down, there are some other spring-y details you can add, like:
-a white collared shirt
-swap out a scarf for a necklace
-(more to come tomorrow)
Like so!
Tuesday's weather forecast: upper 30s to mid 40s, sunny but cold in the air.
I had my longer tuxedo-tunic button-down from ON on at first, but I wasn't feeling the way the tails stuck out at the bottom. It was too...heavy. Then I remembered this Martin + Osa pullover short-sleeve shirt, and wore it for the first time since last summer. Added my Gap teal sweater (thin fabrication) and AT Factory microcheck pants. The other Spring Transition details are the bead necklace in graduated teal hues, and my new red Target cut-out flats.
Guess who else really likes these shoes?
Hello, George! Still the ham.
Those flats are so cute! Shoot, I was even at Target yesterday, but I don't usually check out the shoes. Guess I'll have to go back.
ReplyDeleteI love the red with the turquoise though, it's a great combo! And the white shirt does brighten it all up.
Aw, what a great picture of George. :)
ReplyDeleteI've just read through all your new Spring clothes posts, and wow, lady! You have some amazing new things - I'm looking forward to seeing all your new outfits!
Great shoes! Hope I can get over to Target one of these days. Thanks for your tips on making the transition to spring clothing.
