"I thought a wardrobe was what Lucy went through to get to Narnia"

Isn't that a great line! Thanks to Suzanne for that hilarious quote. Now she knows it is so much more and she looks great. Now onto what to wear when it is February and 70 degrees! On days like today, it is sooooo easy to start pulling out the tanks and sandals. But, in reality, we will have more days in the 30's and probably sleet or snow. So, lets talk about what you can do until spring is really here. First of all, start with bringing in lighter spring colors in your tops and scarves. For instance, in the fall, you might have worn pumpkin colors and purples to go with a chocolate brown tweed skirt/suit/pant. Now, try a pretty pink blouse and winter white knit sweater vest or a light blue cardigan with a crisp white shirt underneath. Or instead of black or wine colored tops with a pair of black pants, try light grey and yellow. Get a fun, bright spring trench coat or a couple cardigans or boyfriend sweaters in peachs and pinks. Secondly, use these colors for accessories too like scarves and jewelry. Your color tones should go from fall and winter palettes to spring shades. Another way to start spring early is to get a great fitting pair of white jeans. Make sure they are not a lightweight cotton but are a heavier weight denim. They will take you a long way. If they are skinny, roll them up and wear with a bright flat or tuck them into a good black boot with a black turtleneck. Or get a straight cut and wear them with a pretty tan driving moc (think Gwennyth Paltrow in the Tods ads) and khaki jacket. So many options! Hopefully this answers some questions about transitional dressing. We can't ditch the coats and boots yet but soon! Next time I'll be talking about 2009 spring trends, can you say "dhoti" pants?? Please call if I can help at any time! ( Blogger was sick tonight so if there are font changes or misspells, sorry)
