Spring Styles to Wear Now

Is it just me or is 2019 passing along quickly? Welcome to March which is said to come in like a lion and out like a lamb. Sometimes fashion seasons and the weather don’t match up but the fashion show must go on! While I’m waiting for the weather to catch up I’m wearing some new spring items with some added warmth now and I’ll wear them without the layers later. Here’s just a few examples of how you can take spring items and start wearing them now.

 

 

One of my favorite items to wear is a loose tunic – they are comfortable, cute and flattering. While I love a tunic with skinny jeans right now it needs a little extra layer for warmth so I’m topping this tunic I picked up at the Southern Women’s Show with my utility jacket. When the weather warms up I’ll either wear with the jeans alone, white pants or even a khaki skirt.

I came across this pink dress I just had to have it – it’s so fun and super flattering. To wear it now I’m wearing a nude tank and panty hose (yes, they are still a thing people) to keep add a light layer for warmth underneath. While I feel like in the spring and summer the loose style of the dress will be perfect I added a black belt and black heels to add some structure without taking away from the natural flounce of the dress.

 

 

My next item was something I picked up in Atlanta when I stopped by the Draper James store. I am SO excited that Draper James is officially size inclusive but I’ve had a feeling this was coming after the Eloquii collabs. I went into the store thinking there would be other dresses I liked more but this floral cotton number was just so cute on I had to have it. Right now I’m wearing with  boots and a long sweater  (you could also add tights if it’s really cold out) but once the weather warms up I’ll keep it simple with some wedges and bamboo bag.

 

I also have this Draper James dress I bought on sale last December. Since gingham is always in style for the warm weather months it was too good of a deal to pass up. Right now I’m wearing with heels and a blazer for not only warmth but also a little work friendly look but when the weather warms up I’ll let the dress stand out on its own.

Basically it all comes down to layers, of course not every spring outfit is going to look good layered up so it’s definitely something to play around with but I hope this post has given you some ideas to get you started.

 

 

All my wear it later looks feature a bamboo bag and open toe sandals – that’s not because I didn’t want to bring a bunch of items to my photo shoot – I think these are great items to make items look current. Both round and the arc (what I’m carrying) look to be making a comeback this season so you really can’t go wrong with your bamboo bag shape.  I got my wedges from Old Navy last year but I did find some similar styles currently available.
