While New York isn't hitting spring weather just yet, I'm already starting to make small transitions in my wardrobe. It's not exactly time to start flashing bright pastels in everyones faces yet, but it's certainly time to retire olive and burgundy colors. I love dark colors which makes the transition a bit hard for me as I begin to slowly move into my spring wardrobe.
Spring doesn't necessarily mean you need to go full on bright and colorful just yet. You can play it low and bring in lighter tones in general. For example, swap out a deep gray for a lighter toned gray.
Jacket: Primark
Bodysuit: Forever 21
Jeans: American Eagle
Boots: Primark
Handbag: Primark
I certainly didn't mean to pick a lot of items from Primark, but it just so happens Primark has some of my current favorite pieces. Leather jackets can be expensive and if you want a stylish one without breaking your budget, I spent 20 bucks for mine. I've had it for a few months now and I haven't had any issues. Leather jackets are perfect for months like fall and spring, but also just timeless pieces to have in general. It makes a statement and can easily add some edge to any outfit.
The crossbody bag gives me luxury vibes without me draining my entire savings for an actual luxury handbag. I've also had this as well for awhile and I've had no issues so far. It also holds quite a lot which for me personally is a plus. I was able to fit a bunch of touch up makeup, cards/cash, a hair brush and my charger in here. That works for me!
As for the over the knee boots, I love keeping a little bit of my dark colors during my transition periods. These boots are super comfortable. Also, if you're a wide calf girl like me they fit perfectly!
Bodysuits are a must in my wardrobe! They help make me appear slimmer and I just feel sexy wearing them. I have one for every occasion. The lighter toned grey lightens up the look, making it more spring appropriate.
Lastly, American Eagle jeans are my favorite jeans to wear. I went with the light wash again to brighten up everything, but it also pairs nicely with the bodysuit.
My transition period usually lasts until almost mid April. However, to get myself into the spring spirit I start using warm colors on my nails, brighten up my makeup looks, and even begin thinking of what to do with my hair for the warmer months.
Keep in mind, this is only how I transition and everyone has a different way of switching into the new weather. I hope some of my advice was helpful and gave you some inspiration on how to still incorporate some of your winter pieces into spring.
