Well babes, I have some bad news for you. We are in the icky rough stretch of winter.
While the fun and excitement of the holidays are over, sadly the weather is still gross and layers are still a must. So what’s a girl to do? Well, I’ve got a couple ideas that will have you relishing the last bit of winter we’ve got coming our way.
1. SNAG A NEW PAIR OF BOOTS (THEY’RE PROBABLY ON SALE!)
By now you’re probably ready to throw your winter boots out the nearest window. While it may be tempting to spend your dollars on some new trends for spring, consider holding out another month or new and instead spring for a new pair of winter boots.
Most stores are trying to clear out all their winter merchandise before the end of March, so expect some really great sales on all the winter gear you’ll still be wearing in a month (or two)
2. FIND DAYS TO TEST RUN SPRING STYLES
While it’s still winter, I’m looking for all the ways I can start getting my spring on! This mainly means that I’m following the weather like a mad woman so I know which days allow me to bust out socks-free flats (hello chilly ankles). This could also mean starting to wear your favorite spring dresses but with a turtleneck underneath or finding a new bright color to incorporate into your wardrobe.
3. SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
While it’s still winter, we are also starting to see the light of spring. Find one of these signs and hold on tight! For me it’s the little green buds are starting to pop out of the ground and the fact that it’s not dark when I arrive home from work.
What are your tricks for making it through the tail end of winter? Let me know in the comments below!
Until next time,

Such a cute look and I totally agree with your advice! I love scooping up cute boots on sale this time of the year, wearing them now and pairing them with shorts later on!

Great tips for surviving winter! I love tip number two because right now in NC it is 70s,so I can get away with wearing spring items in winter.

I’m loving this black and grey look, and such great tips! I’ve been trying to incorporate my spring items into my wardrobe by layering them with winter items. It’s been helping me get through this long winter.
