What to Wear Now and How to Wear it Later

As winter slowly creeps along and there are no signs of spring around us, I stand in my closet like most women do and heave a big sigh, "I have nothing to wear".  I grab the same pair of jeans and the same fleece belted cardigan and head out the door.  So in an attempt to not light a match to my closet and take my husband's clothes along with it, I am posting a few ideas for everyone on what to wear now that will also carry you into spring.  If you have some of the key pieces mentioned below in your closet, here are some ways to where it now and then wear it later.


1.  THE STRIPE TEE
Almost everyone has a striped tee in their wardrobe - right?  If not, run like the wind and buy one.  Not only are stripes a hot trend for spring, but it can add a little flavor to that cardigan you are growing tired of wearing.  Pair now with your favorite jeans and take a risk by wearing an animal print shoe.
When spring rolls around, pair with an a-line skirt and a bright, floral scarf.  Layer gold bracelets and a great wedge.  Please don't forget your pedicure before you bust out the open-toed shoes.

2. THE FLORAL SKIRT
If you have a floral skirt in your closet - pair now with a sweater, jacket, and boots.  Wear it later with stripe tee or tank.  Have fun with accessories by adding a bold necklace or by layering bracelets.


3.  The Sleeveless Top 
The best thing about sleeveless tops is layering without all the bulkiness under your sweaters and jackets.  I have found myself tugging and pulling like a contortionist trying to smooth out the shirt underneath and then looking like a stuffed sausage once everything is in its place!  So - go for a great spring print now and layer under a chunky knit sweater with cords or jeans.  Pair it later with a pair of bermudas and some fun jewels.
