Happy Wednesday! I spent the last two days pretending it was actually snowing outside and cozying up by the fire. I've now decided that it's probably time for me to quit telling myself that it's too snowy, rainy, COLD to work... Although it may not feel like it outside, we're about to begin the transition from the dead of winter into slightly warmer, more springy temps come March. Today I'm sharing some wardrobe must-haves that you should have in your closet for the upcoming transition of seasons.
Here we go ::
1) Casual Blazer... The casual blazer is a step up from the cardigan. It's a little more versatile in its ability to be dressed up further and taken effortlessly from day-to-night. It also adds structure and femininity to your outfits.

2) Dark Wash Skinny Jean... this isn't just for transitioning between seasons, it's a wardrobe must-have that you should be wearing all year long. My absolute favorite brand for jeans is Paige. They are soft, comfortable, stretchy and flattering.

3) Colored Purse... You're going to want to ditch the neutrals and brighten up your accessories. The perfect spring transition accessory is a colorful purse; whether it be bright or subtle.

4) The Perfect Bootie... We're all going to grow tired of our riding or knee high boots by the time the end of winter rolls around. That's where your perfect bootie comes in. Throw them on with jeans, dresses, skirts, etc. and they'll still keep your feet warm while also adding a little 'spring' to your step. {see what I did there?}

5) The Pixie Pant... Another year-round necessity. These thick leggings hug you in all the right places and are SO comfortable. Wear them with your long sweaters in the winter, or transition them to spring with a button-down tunic or long tank and cardigan {NOW 20% off with code SHOPPINGTIME}

6) Lightweight cardigans... These will be your best friend for both work and play. Use them to wear your sleeveless dresses a bit earlier than normal; Pair them over any of your sleeveless tops or lightweight long-sleeved tops. Try adding some color in this area as well. My favorites? Fuchsia, chartreuse, plum and olive. Favorite place to get them? LOFT. The cut, length and weight are perfect and the price fits the bill. Make sure you buy a v-neck cardigan; it's the most flattering and current cut.

7) Open-Front Sweater Vest or Military Vest... When it's a bit too warm {or you feel silly wearing it} for your fur vest, you'll want another vest option. You all know my love for the military vest, but I am also loving the comfort and warmth of an open-front sweater vest... Perfect for finishing off any outfit; from dresses, to tops, to sweaters and more.
