Spring Layers

dressed up casual - casual Friday workwearIt’s the time of year when you leave the house in the morning cold and return in the afternoon sweltering. Dressing in spring time can be a challenge with temperatures that swing wildly throughout the day. The key? Several light layers.

Starting with a thin base layer then add warmth as you move outwards. Think tee+cardigan+scarf or button up+sweater+blazer. This gives you several layers you can easily shed throughout the day without completely changing clothes. Another tip? Start with a breathable cotton base, add one lightweight knit layer (I love this cashmere sweater for layering), then finish with a heavier/bulkiest topper. For this look I was actually wearing a sweater early on in the day but had to leave them out of these pictures. I was way too warm 🙂

How do you deal with crazy spring temperatures? What are your layering tactics?

  2. Lots of light layers are definitely the only way to go this time of year. Love the jacket with the chambray and the scarf on the bag is the perfect finishing touch!

    Your jacket is cute! I enjoy laying my clothes with a sweater or a cardigan. That allows me to wear another shirt and a coat if it is needed.

    You’re totally right..there are many layers to shed which helps in unpredictable weather like spring. Love the denim shirt and boucle jacket pairing. Would love if you can link up to http://the-wardrobe-stylist.com/2016/04/04/porcelain-skin/
