Spring into the Winter!

This weather has been working on the last nerves of everyone here lately. One day sunny and mild, the next frigid and overnight freeze warnings. Do you think the world of fashion and retail cares about mother nature? Negative! They have to keep it moving, and the schedule can't be changed. I'm sure you have noticed the nice "Spring" items in your local stores and boutiques, but with this crazy weather its sure to get some a little confused. Today, I will show you how to rock your Spring clothes in the Winter.

The key is LAYER, LAYER, LAYER!

First up, the floral sundress, there are many options out there, you can go short, maxi or mid-length. This look features a mid-length sundress by Gabriella Rocha. Here a cream cardigan, black tights and knee-boots were added to winterize this look, a chunky scarf completes it.

You think you can't wear shorts in the Winter??? NONSENSE, matter of fact this is the PERFECT time to wear shorts, especially for those who are normally very shy about showing their legs. The invention of the tights were one the best ideas around, they hide flaws, scars, marks, jiggles, and wiggles. I go even farther with this look by adding a pair of funky thigh high socks. Let's check it out!

Lastly, but not least is the forever lasting tank top. Seriously, I just don't think this has any weather limitations, and there are so many styles, and options you cant go wrong. I chose a floral tank top. Why? Floral is big this season (yes, once again). I paired it with a chunky brown cardigan, denim patch jeans (another trend for Spring), and caramel brown leather boots.
