I Was Hoping to Start Wearing My New Spring Clothes

I was hoping to start wearing my new spring clothes.  But no! There was snow last week, frigid temperatures over the weekend and this week there is a threat of a Nor’Easter.  What’s a girl to do? Well, dress appropriately.

My version of a sensible winter outfit includes trying to adapt to monochromatic dressing with boots all the while the winds are blowing, and the temperature is below freezing, hovering around 25°.  The winter that won’t quit.

Camel is my one-tone choice. I’m wearing my ASOS oversized swing coat with kimono sleeve, a J.Crew camel wool dress, and last season’s Cole Haan Pewter Suede Boots.

Below are the 2017 spring trends I’m excited to buy to wear once the weather breaks (save for the frayed jeans and bomber jacket):

Monochromatic Dressing:
I’m dressed in a monochromatic look is a great styling trick that is timeless and elegant.  It’s also a fabulous styling trick to make one appear leaner and taller while hiding flaws and problem areas.  However, a one-tone color outfit not only refers to head-to-toe black or white, but there are also other flattering colors to consider.

Bomber Jackets:

Frayed, Embroidered or Split-Seam Denim

Anything with Pom Poms

Floral Maxi Dresses:

But Also Shirt Dresses and Ones with Cold Shoulders and Shirtwaist, Too:

Sheer/Illusion Tops, Too:

… And Exaggerated Sleeves:

Crop and Wide-Leg Pants:

Block Heels:

Pointy-Toe Booties:

Slip-on Sneakers: 

Chokers:

Bold Statement Earrings:

Bags with Circle Ring Hardware:

Anything Tulle:

Or Gingham:

Stripes rebranded. Now it’s the Banker Stripe, not the French girls Breton stripe.

The Color Yellow

You can update your look with any of the affordable items above. They’ll be sure to fit nicely into any wardrobe. Where you live, is the climate suitable for spring fashions yet?  If yes, what are you buying?
