5 Tips for Transitioning your Wardrobe from Winter to Spring

Hello! Happy April! The weather finally seems to be warming up here in Virginia and I'm stoked to begin transitioning my wardrobe from winter to spring. Who would have thought we would have to wait until April to start rocking pieces from our spring wardrobes? I certainly didn't! However, it's not time to pack up all of your cozy sweaters quite yet. This transitional winter to spring weather marks a difficult period of time for styling ~looks~. Some days you'll be grabbing your favorite winter cardi as you walk out the door and some days you'll be out and about with bare legs and bare arms. So what's a girl to do? I've given it some thought and put together a list of my five best tips for transitioning your wardrobe from winter to spring:

1. Layer socks underneath your open-toe heels and sandals. Want to break out your favorite pair of sandals but it's still a little nippy outside? Don't be afraid to break fashion rules and style a cute pair of socks with open-toe heels or sandals like I did with my star printed socks and black velvet heels above.

2. Select dresses and skirts in midi lengths. Need help styling your midi skirt? I've got you covered here.

3. Throw a fur collar on with a spring mini dress. Add warmth to a little spring dress with something cozy but not ~too~ cozy such as a fur collar like I'm wearing above or a knit shawl. You'll be happy you did when a breeze sweeps past you.

4. Keep your favorite turtleneck out as a chic layering piece. Style it underneath your favorite spaghetti strap dress for just a touch more warmth.

5. Start with more layers in the morning. You can always take off layers off as the day progresses and the weather warms up.

What do y'all think? Do you have any more tips for transitioning your wardrobe from winter to spring?
