Weekends tend to be my MOST fashionable. Let's just face it, my daily studio wear consists of ripped jeans, tank tops and an apron!!
Needless to say, I thought it might be fun to highlight weekend fashion on Mondays! And maybe even include a bit of what my kids wore!
This is the time of year we look into our closets and {{sigh}}. I know, because I do it! You desperately want it to be spring, yet it's not. You long for brighter colors and lighter fabrics, but it is still freezing! But there is a way to begin the transition...lightly.
I pulled this light floral dress out of my closet bound and determined to style it for the "in betweens".

It's sleeveless so I choose a simple grey cardi to go over top. Convinced it look maternity like, I opted for a skinny belt to show that I do indeed have a waist.

Ditching tights I went for these amazing alpine socks that I could pull over my knees if I wanted to...with BARE legs! Yup, there's a transition move! And a shorter pair of boots.
Lots and lots of bangles, a candy bracelet for color and dangle earrings...that's it.
I think the whole outfit looks lighter weight, leaning towards spring without looking like I'm "rushing it".
With Anneke we did something similar. This dress {{formerly owned by me}} is cute and flirty and artsy. But it's sleeveless and dark.

The colorful tights give her a lighter, more youthful, and spring-y look. We stayed with a black sweater since there is so much color and texture going on already.
Simple jewelry. Again...there's a lot going on here...no need to compete!
I think she looks very hip and trendy...and ready to move into a more fun, colorful season!
Later on in the day she needed to do a photo shoot...I already had "slipped into something more comfortable". Yes, those are leggings...but NOT AS PANTS! Note, the buttocks is covered! :) But I do love my alpine socks!
Are you itching to get into spring fashion? Do you have a fav item in your closet you can't wait to wear. Take it out and see what you can do with it? I dare ya! If you have any questions...feel free to email me...I always answer!
