4 Ways to Incorporate Spring, & Shorts with Tights

Let’s face it, we have all had it up to here with winter. We’re all feeling burnt out with our winter wardrobes, and dressing up like the abominable snowwoman just to run to the grocery store has gotten old.

I feel like I’m repeating the same sweaters over and over again, and don’t get me started on not being able to wear anything other than boots. every. single. day.

And you probably saw my shout-out to Winter on Instagram last week…I tried to be polite.

SO, what’s a girl to do?

Spring is nowhere in sight, no matter how much I want to pack away my puffy winter coats. What can we do to start incorporating our new spring pieces that are sitting in our closet (probably with the tags still on them)?

1). Break out the brights.

Even if it’s too cold for anything but sweaters, try one with a bold color. It doesn’t take much, just a pop of color here and there, maybe brightly colored pumps or flats, a bold coat in a bright color or fun pattern.
And while we are on the topic of layers

2). Spring vests.

SEERSUCKER and GINGHAM vests???? As if we needed another excuse to add to our vest collections, but seriously, vests aren’t just for fall and winter! Try a navy seersucker vest with a cream sweater and navy pants or denim, and you’ve just added some spring nautical flare to your winter uniform.

3). Colored denim.

This is a trend that I am still happy to report is sticking around for another season. Colored denim is SUPER easy to style! Pair your denim with a solid color blouse in any neutral color, add a delicate necklace and flats or pumps, depending on the occasion, and you’ve got a chic day to night outfit. I’ve gotten the most wear out of my red, pink, and mint pairs of denim.

4). Tights.

Ok, how in the world will tights help to add spring-like elements into your wardrobe? Simply put, they allow you to wear something other than pants or denim. Tights with shorts is a great way to stretch out the wear-ability of your spring and summer wardrobe when it is not yet warm enough to wear just shorts. I might even try out my navy tights with these floral shorts! Too much? If you’re not too keen on wearing shorts with tights, pairing tights with a floral skirt will allow you to try out your new spring pieces.

With another snow storm possibly in the forecast, it’s becoming more and more difficult to be creative with our outfit choices. Most days I want to kick it in leggings and an oversized sweater, but that has quickly become tired. All of these fabulous spring arrivals in stores has me desperate for warmer days, and I am sure you are already looking for ways to incorporate your new spring purchases! Be creative and don’t be afraid to try something out, you’ll be surprised with how stylish the results turn out to be!

Stay Classy!
