It’s still cold. UGH.
Even though I am so over winter, I begrudgingly admit that
winter is not over. What’s more, if you
believe in the weather predictions of rodents, then we are still in for another
6 weeks (thanks for nothing, Punxsutawney Phil).
Thanks to the weather, there have been many mornings that I have found myself just staring at
my closet, longing for the lightness and ease of my spring clothes and dreading
another day in cable knits (which is saying something, because I love me a cable knit). Then last week it hit
me- I may not be able to wear my spring dress on its own, but what if I threw
on a couple of extra layers? Could I
possibly be warm enough? Did I DARE to
think that just a little layering could take a springy dress from 50
above to 50 below?
The answer: Yes I did…AND IT WORKED!
The key to my success? The basic tshirt dress.
Oh, how I love a basic tshirt dress. It looks good on everyone (even while pregnant), comes in a zillion colors in patterns, is available at every price point, can be worn all year round, and is easy to wash and wear (which makes them kid friendly and even more fabulous). Seriously, what's not to love?
My winter-ized way to wear: pair a fitted tshirt dress with
leggings, riding boots, and an oversized cardigan. Top with a scarf, add a small earring, and
VOILA- dressed! This is a look that can
even go to work with you on a casual Friday (or all week long in a more casual
office like mine).
No leggings? Try
opaque black tights.
No fitted dress? A flowy tee dress looks great with a classic
cardigan.
No excuses for why you can’t wear spring clothes
now! Hey, if you can’t beat ‘em, layer ‘em!
