So, it's supposed to be spring isn't it?
Are you like me and sick-to-the-back-teeth of your winter woolies?
Is your cold weather wardrobe boring you to tears?
Are you fed up of the bad weather and desperate to move towards spring.
Are you ready to shed the layers and bare some skin?
YES!!
Hang on a minute...
There is a small problem.
Mother nature has other ideas.
It's still blooming freezing, and there seems to be nothing we can do about it.
Fortunately, where there's a will there's a way!
{See this post where I'm wearing a summer jumpsuit in autumn, I've included some simple layering tips too!
Or, check out this post where I've sneaked on loads of secret layers after getting fed-up of wearing my heavy waterproof coat.}
Of course layers are (always) the answer to any cold weather dressing dilemma.
Layering can make inappropriate clothes completely weather appropriate.
Today I'm layered up with thermal base layers (cropped thermal leggings and an under top with a high neck) to trap warm air next to my body.
The culottes are a cashmere blend (see these culottes styled for spring HERE) which is always warm and I'm wearing a cosy longline waistcoat too.
All of these items are very lightweight and not at all bulky.
Bulky layers can look really chic, and very on-trend, but not when you're trying to fake a spring look.
Spring should mean light and fresh.
Lightweight fabrics are not going to be happening anytime soon!
Faking is the only option.
The biggest cheat in today's outfit are these tights.
Hosiery is an easy way to add some personality (and fun) to an otherwise simple outfit.
Plus, tights are great for adding just enough warmth to get away with a few inches of bare(ish) skin.
Adding my shearling-lined clogs was the perfect cosy finishing touch.
Warm Feet = Happy Face!
Are you desperate to embrace the new season where you are?
I'd love to hear what your hoping to wear this week!
