I don't know about you, but immediately after the holidays are over, I find myself ready for spring clothing. I embrace the plaid, the cozy sweaters and the dark hues until January 2nd when I decide it's time for sundresses and bright colors.
I do, however, think that part of looking stylish is dressing appropriately for the weather and for the season. "High School Whitney" was okay with wearing a skirt with bare legs in February because she thought it was cute. "Grown-Up Whitney" thinks that "High School Whitney" looks a bit silly (and chilly)! For this reason, I try to continually embrace winter clothing until the sun really does come out. Also, I know that when the temperature rises, I'm going to miss layering a button-up under a sweater...so I might as well layer-up for as long as possible.
In order to embrace the inter weather while satisfying my need for something springy, I turn to pastel colors. Pastels are often associated with springtime but I also think that they are a refreshing accent color during the colder seasons. They brighten-up an outfit but they are still soft and serene, two feelings I associate with winter.
Blush pink has always been a favorite color of mine and I have been wearing an awful lot of it lately. I just want to bury myself in this chunky, blush scarf! Perfect for lightening-up an outfit while keeping warm! Here I've layered it over my favorite comfy dress. I'm also wearing patterned tights to add whimsical detail to a basic outfit.
How do you satisfy your craving for spring clothing while still staying warm?
What I'm Wearing:
This scarf is perfect for still-winter-but-wishing-for-spring like you said! It's heavy and warm but the light pink color is fun. Cute tights too!
