Spring Transition

Spring transition is my favorite time of year!!!  I am NOT a cold weather girl.  My favorite clothes are warm weather clothes, so I am about to be so happy!  Of course, transition from Winter to Spring looks vastly different across the country. Here in the South, we've already been having 80 degree days and tornadoes.  Who knows, we may have another freeze in us, but not likely!

I've put together some looks that should work with minor changes no matter where you live.

Florals are a great way to look Spring-y! 

Throw on a jacket and boots or booties if it is still cool.

This Gray Monroe dress is perfect as is for warmer climates or just throw on a cardi or denim jacket if it is cooler.

Floral pants are great because you can wear them with flats or heels where it is warmer or put on boots or booties with them where it is colder.
 P.S. - if you just love this leather tote it can be yours right here!!!

Another great way to wear a floral top is to throw on a bright cardi and a skirt.  Add more layers (or pants instead) if you need to!

 Layers are the perfect go-to for transitioning seasons!

I wear the jacket in the morning and by noon I have to lose it!  Add leggings if it's colder where you are.  
These blush Adidas are going to be a Spring staple for me!

A brightly colored blazer is a great way to layer in the Spring!

More fun pants and a cardi.

Swing dresses are great because you can wear them as is or they look great with tights or leggings for warmth.  I definitely had to lose this scarf by afternoon, but it was great for the cool morning!

What's your go-to Spring transition look?
