Spring DRESSING STRATEGIES FOR PREDICTABLY UNPREDICTABLE WEATHER

What you wear is heavily influenced by the weather. Let’s face it, all of your best plans for that fail-proof, always-look-great outfit can be easily foiled if the weather takes a turn in an unexpected direction. It’s that time of year to expect the unexpected. I still have gloves and a hat at the ready in case it decides to snow, as well as sunglasses and sunscreen if and when the sun decides to frequent the moment. When the trees are blooming with pastels, bright colored tulips, and daffodils are popping up, who wants to go back to wearing heavy, dark winter clothes? These conditions naturally put a spring in our step and change our attitudes about the clothes we are drawn to.  It’s time to dress like a Spring if you’re into that kind of thing. Here’s how to be in the moment, look and feel as spectacular as the blossoms, and still be comfy when it’s cool.

Focus on the colors of Spring in medium-weight fabrics.
What are the colors of Spring? Lighter, brighter, warmer colors.  Those colors help us to feel youthful, nurturing, and romantic. When you wear them in all-season fabric weights and even heavier weight fabrics you’ll look and feel like Spring without having to compromise being warm. For more on what colors communicate, especially pastel pink, check out this post. 

Easy to layer, soft cozy sweater, that also happens to have the perfect color name - Spring Blush!

Layer it up
All-season fabric weights can be chilly on a cloudy, 20 mph wind day….unless you layer with a windbreaker. Thin layers insulate one another as they are trapped under a windbreaker and keep you warm. A button-up shirt is a great solution.  For more tips, check out my Layering 101 post.

Linen shirts - warm enough for cooler weather with a sweater over or roll up the sleeves when the glorious sun does come out.

Keep a few cozy comforts at the ready.
These are things I might keep in my car glove box until it’s actually summer just in case I’m caught in a cold rain or wind tunnel. Umbrella there’s a reason they say April showers, socks in case it’s cold to show your ankles in those trendy loafers, gloves when your fingers are cold, you’re cold, and a warm knit hat to keep the heat in. And when that glorious sun does make an appearance I would keep the sunscreen, chapstick with spf and maybe a brimmed hat handy.
