Transitioning Your Wardrobe from Winter to Spring

Sweater: H&M - Old (Similar, Similar) / Jeans: Madewell
Purse: Chanel (Similar) / Earrings: Ann Taylor
Flats: JCrew - Sold Out (Similar)

Now that March is almost upon us, I think it’s important to talk how how to transition your wardrobe from winter to spring. Spring time is honestly one of my favorite seasons of the year. The days get longer, you can wear less clothing (no more heavy jackets!), cute shoes are back (goodbye UGGS!), and it’s finally time to get out of that neutral clothing rut and incorporate some color into your wardrobe!

This knit sweater I got last year from H&M is such an amazing dupe for this expensive knit sweater by Ganni (retails $475). I love how soft and cozy it is but with the reasonable price tag! Another reason I love it is because it just screams “spring!” Knits are one of my favorite pieces to keep in my closet from winter, to spring and then to fall because it transitions so easily from each season.

5 Tips to Transitioning Your Wardrobe from Winter to Spring

1. Lightweight Knits

Pair a lightweight knit with a simple pair of jeans or try wearing it a new way instead with a maxi skirt or culottes!

2. Pair OTK Boots with Dresses

I love the contrast of pairing over-the-knee (OTK) boots with a short dress. Essentially the OTK boots are re-placing your leggings/tights. It’s finally time to show some skin and let those legs feel the warmth of the sun!

3. Utilize Trench Coats

Layering is the name of the game especially in the springtime when the weather can be so unpredictable! Utilize trench coats and light cardigans to elevate your looks. You can also use these pieces as the “statement” piece of your outfit so have fun with it!

4. Make a Statement with Shoes

Shoes are a fun way to bring some color into your life and to show your personality. For spring, I suggest investing in an open-toe bootie (time to show off that pedicure!) or a fun pair of flats.

5. Re-Wear Winter Friendly Staples.

Find new ways to pair fresh spring pieces with winter-friendly staples as the weather during the spring can be quite unpredictable. I always like to opt for layers or a thicker material (such as a knit sweater) and then something fun (how I paired this look with a knit, jeans, and flats!). It’s like shopping in your own closet!

Faux Suede Skort

V-Neck Top: ASOS / Faux Suede Skort: Zara
Handbag: Saint Laurent / Booties: Sam Edelman (Similar)

Shorts + Skirt = Skort!

Ever since I was young, I’ve been a fan of the skort. This was definitely the “it” thing to wear in the 90s - feeling ladylike in a skirt but with the comfort of shorts. This skort from Zara is cute yet soo functional and I love that it has a faux suede look to it with an asymmetric wrap style front. This is one piece I will definitely be styling for winter and transitioning easily into the springtime by pairing it with a white sweater or blouse and sandals.

Also, who else is in a winter rut? I seriously am so sick of this cold weather and snow. I am CRAVING warm weather and luckily I think we only have a few weeks left until then! I can’t wait for colorful sweaters, shorts, dresses without tights, sandals, etc. - all the spring feels! I’ve also been working long hours since the beginning of January and doing two whole months of that seriously starts taking a toll on your health and well being! I’m at the final stretch now so hopefully this crazy work season will be over soon and I can then get back into my regular routine that I miss so much!

Cute Valentine's Day Outfit Ideas

Sequin Dress: Olivia Culpo x Express
Booties: Sam Edelman (Similar)
Handbag: Saint Laurent / Necklace: Violet & Brooks

Valentine’s Day is literally right around the corner (one week from today to be exact!). Whether you’re heading out for a romantic dinner with your significant other or having a night with your girlfriends it’s always a fun excuse to get all dolled up!

 I thought this sequin dress from the new Olivia Culpo collection that just launched in Express stores would be the perfect dress for Valentine’s Day. I love everything about this dress - from the length to the red sparkles to the beautiful ribbon tie waist. And of course, the hot magenta color. The one thing that I love about the new collection is that it includes a great range of different styles - from casual to edgy to dressed up. It honestly could not have come at a more perfect time.

Casual Valentine's Day Outfit Ideas

Tie-Front Blouse: Anthropologie / Jeans: AG Jeans
Handbag: Chanel / Heels: Levity (Similar)

We are just about through the month of January and that means February is literally right around the corner! The next major holiday coming up is Valentine’s Day on February 14th. Valentine’s Day to me is to celebrate love and affection -and that can be any sort of love (not only romantic). Last year the hubby surprised me with dinner at Zahav which is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. The owner/chef Michael Solomonov was actually there that night and he came over to our table to chat with us! And of course he signed his Zahav cookbook for me. It was so memorable and special.

Last week I polled everyone on my Instagram to see what sort of content you wanted to see. It was pretty much a 50/50 split on ideas on styling blouses and dresses for Valentine’s Day. This outfit is casual yet chic and perfect for a casual Valentine’s Day outing! I just love the raspberry color of this blouse and how it drapes so perfectly. The color is a little unexpected and isn’t the traditional red/pink color which is what I love so much about it. In order to keep things casual I paired the blouse with skinny black jeans, pumps and my favorite Chanel bag.
