What To Wear This Week 003
Plus a few great dupes
This is my 3rd post in this series, for more outfit inspiration click here for part 1 and here for part 2
You know what I WANT April to be? I want April to be all tulips and baby ducklings. I want it to be days that get progressively warmer since we are, after-all, in Spring and therefore on the brink of Summer. However, where I live, April is still a month with loads of temperature swings. It’s snow one day and t-shirt weather the next. All you lucky people who live in more temperate climates, this is where I grow green with envy.
So I present to you 4 ideas for getting dressed this week (month?) to help us on days when our Seasonal Affective Disorder is strongest and we can’t choose for ourselves. I am not claiming ideas are mind-blowing but neither is a meal plan with tacos on it. The point is, we are taking some thought out of it. A warning that I have been enjoying many Style Classes from Tibi recently so there are ideas and photos pulled from YouTube (which aren’t the highest quality in pixels but the utmost quality in inspiration).
IDEA ONE: MIX TEXTURES
Because we are all longing for the days of warmer weather, let’s harness that inspiration and start to bring some of our Spring/Summer items into our closet to mix textures. It’s really about the weight of fall/winter textures (leather, boiled wool, knit, etc.) marrying with light-weight textures (think: linen, cotton, satin/silk). Maybe it’s a delicate Spring dress under the suede jacket you added recently. Maybe it’s a silky slip under a wool bomber. Some of us might need to pair it with boots while others get to slip on sandals, but you catch my drift.
And if that pairing doesn’t work for your climate or wardrobe, perhaps you just take the piece in your closet that feels most SPRING (a floral blouse, a pastel knit) and partner it with a leather jacket or dark blazer.
