Spring Forward into Spring with Your Best Transitional Wardrobe
Stop me if this sounds familiar: on Monday, it’s 62 with a 100% chance of thunderstorms. On Tuesday, it’s 67, and a tornado warning or two might pop up. When Wednesday rolls around, the temp drops to 46, but the rain chances linger. Yet Thursday drops even farther to 33, while rain becomes snow showers. On Friday, the sun peeks its head out to warm us back up to 68, Saturday carries with it a 100% chance of sunshine with no clouds in sight as the temp climbs to 72, and by Sunday, it’s a balmy 80 degrees.
If you’re from Arkansas (or perhaps even if you’ve just visited), this is what spring looks like. A constant rollercoaster for those of us trying to settle on wardrobe choices for the day, and a nightmare of a headache for those poor, poor weather people on KNWA who get blamed for everything (seriously, guys- who could possibly predict this chaos reliably!?).
So what do we do then to balance the ever-changing forecast with our need to put our best fashion foot forward? Mix it up of course:
Pair up a dress for less stress
Like this comfy purple dress + white blazer
This epitome of spring, a short pink flower + chunky cardigan
Just peachy + crop flares
Leopard print + a remedy tee
Possibly my fav on the list, this gorgeous embroidered number + crop jacket
This sweet blue choice + crop straight legs
A darker tie-dye + black ballet wrap
Or a long pink flower + bomber jacket
A shirt under, a heavier piece over, or a pair of pants can solve your sartorial woes!
Go for a one-piece
An adorable denim romper
Or a sexy black romper
Either of which will be cooler denim choices (but not too cool) because they combine short with long
Even a pink linen romper + heavier black jean jacket
Choose a matching set
In a comfy, breathable pink
In a definitely before Labor Day white that's therefore light
Or a cooler purple (THE color of 2022)
Even a set of elongating stripes in a lighter material and cooler crop
Let the fabric breathe
Big sleeves + denim shorts will keep your arms air conditioned
Holes in the sweater fabric + a tennis skirt will keep you from overheating
Plaid bottoms + a yellow crop are light enough in color and thinner materials to get you through the day
And a lighter sweater via crop or embellished cutouts can be paired with flares to keep you cozy in the colder mornings but airy enough for noon heat
Combine long tops with short bottoms or vice versa
Like this very happy pullover + biker short
Matching faux leather set
Or if the matchy-matchy vibe isn’t your thing, this black crop + faux leather shorts
Or the flipside- gray short sleeves + heart leggings
Purple tank + long white ribs
Even a matching set in black
Choose a spring print to channel spring
We have a classy and fun pink blazer that would go great with a pair of loose-fit white jeans
There’s a tie-dye dress + white crop underneath
Or why not this white dress that screams the season + Morrison denim with plaid detail underneath
Layer it up (you can always take some of it off later)
Go for this satin cami + black cardigan + a wide leg jean
My second fav on the list, blue stripe light pullover + pink legging + stone wash denim
Or a brown light thermal + cardigan + crop
In the end, check the weather when planning outfits the night before, but keep in mind that spring is as prone to change her mind as we women are, and refrain from berating the poor meteorologists. They deserve a break.
