What a perfect way to infuse some spring into your day. You are acing this transitional weather. I'm taking notes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-transitioning#post-1459824 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 20:51:52 +0000 Kirstjen 1459824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel somewhat the same, especially as it pertains to toppers. &nbsp;I feel like I go back to fall with my lightweight coats. &nbsp;I don't have a coat that has a spring-like feeling. &nbsp;<br />I do try to lighten up with my footwear and wear a little more colorful clothing - setting aside SOME of the gray &amp; black &amp; swapping in some pink &amp; green. &nbsp;I wear a scarf of some kind almost every single day. &nbsp;I am starting to switch from cashmere scarves to silk ones.&nbsp;<br />Of course, today, I'm wearing all black with a gray cashmere scarf. &nbsp;Clearly today, I didn't feel it...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-transitioning#post-1459620 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 16:35:52 +0000 viva 1459620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love these outfits! It's a crazy weather time of year for sure. Snow is melting a bit because the sun is so strong, but the wind is so bitter! I'm pulling out bootcuts AND my warmest hat and mittens. So crazy. Cannot wait for spring. I think you have done a stellar job riding that fine line.</p> <p>ETA: I never, ever look that stylish going to barre. You put me to shame.</p> <p>Count me in as another big fan of that clutch - and I love that it is so affordable too. Looks like a great option for me to take as a purse for work travel. It's always so difficult because I never want to pack another bag, in addition to my laptop tote (too big to carry as a purse) and my suitcase. This looks kind of like a wallet-plus. May well be placing an order shortly. :)</p> <p>Here's the link if anyone is interested. There is an envelope clutch with a flap that I quite like too. </p> <p><a href="http://mattandnat.com/shop/handbags/clutches/abiko-citrus" rel="nofollow">http://mattandnat.com/shop/han.....iko-citrus</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-transitioning#post-1459608 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 16:27:43 +0000 Sveta 1459608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is definitely spring-like in my book with&nbsp;citron and light neutrals. You are rocking these jeans! I&nbsp;am a lemming and got them too but making mine inot straight legs as the boot opening is too small for tehm to be a bootcuts for me.<br />For me the second I ditch my puffer and winter boots the look is spring-like! I am still in wool coats (it was -6C this morning) but they are colorful and therefore fitting the spring mood I am in now.<br />I like the outfit #1&nbsp; too but I bet it is the combination of dark skinnies tucked into tall dark boots which give you non-spring vibe here. Lighten up the boot and jeans color or exchange the tall boots for light colored booties and spring will be here in no time!<br />I have been wearing flares this week. This is a very strange spring: there&nbsp;is still snow on the ground which is VERY SLOWLY melting but paved sidewalks are mostly clean and dry.Looks to me like snow is evaporating rather than melting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-transitioning#post-1459606 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 16:27:14 +0000 Emily 1459606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not seeing the trouble either &nbsp;You look very springy and fresh.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-transitioning#post-1459585 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 16:08:57 +0000 approprio 1459585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not seeing any problems here either. But the weather always confounds me at this time of year too. Is it warm or cool? How many layers do I need to wear? When in doubt, put on some bright colours or try dressing up as a Picasso masterpiece. Anyway, you look just dandy. And I am a sucker for a jumbo houndstooth check.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-transitioning#post-1459578 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 16:03:33 +0000 merwoman 1459578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the kind comments and&nbsp;much needed photography&nbsp;encouragement Amy...I'm looking forward to taking my act outside once our weather is suitable.<br />Rabbit - another link for the origins of the clutch, but be forewarned,&nbsp;they have some beautiful bags!<br />mattandnat.com</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-transitioning#post-1459482 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 13:29:09 +0000 amiable 1459482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look positively springlike! &nbsp;The season is tricky for me to, but you're nailing it. &nbsp;And thanks for putting in the effort to take photos - it's a real treat to us on this side of the screen </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-transitioning#post-1459411 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 10:03:09 +0000 krishnidoux 1459411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see no problem in your transitioning! On the contrary, your outfits inspire me. It's a simple clean cut with a vibrant accessory. Pant legs are adapted to March's sometimes messy, sometimes just cold weather.&nbsp;&nbsp;Cream color sweater is especially nice on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-transitioning#post-1459409 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 09:53:21 +0000 merwoman 1459409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all your lovely feedback ladies - have to dash right now, but wanted to let Rabbit know that the clutch is from Mat and Nat - Montreal company. I ordered it on line&nbsp;through a bookstore - Chapters (Indigo).</p> <p>Baking muffins to toss at impending intruder(s) :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-transitioning#post-1459350 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 03:34:29 +0000 Gigi 1459350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely coat! And I really like outfit 3 for some reason. It's so simple, but everything seems to really flatter you, and the fit is spot-on.</p> <p>I am having trouble too with figuring out what to wear. The winter stuff is too heavy for my body, but my emotions are still thinking winter. I'm really just throwing outfits together at this point, and nothing is really matching. Oh well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-transitioning#post-1459327 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 02:46:16 +0000 Jaime 1459327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits, the light jeans look fantastic on you and terrific with the white sweater. My problem with transitional weather is the day starts out chilly and ends up warm or hot. Layers are the only solution! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-transitioning#post-1459326 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 02:44:06 +0000 Susie 1459326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look like you are a transition pro!

I get so comfortable reaching for the same combos, it's a bit of an effort to start a new cycle. Hope you have your new passport!</p> <p>More great ideas&nbsp;- thank you Joy!</p> <p>I love the sound of mile long legs Diane - boot cuts do work miracles!</p> <p>haha Jackie - seems the mer-maison&nbsp; will need added fortification from a western assault!</p> <p>Great question Rachylou - temp wise I felt spot on. But&nbsp;tis the season for losing garments - cold in the morning, warm in the afternoon, gloves and scarves get left behind.&nbsp;I applaud your switching out - I'm wary of temperature fluctuations and won't attempt that until after the long weekend in May.</p> <p>And Angie...'Game on - come and get it' she said tauntingly...you make my heart smile!</p> <p>Thank you Gail - something about faded blue that says summer!</p> <p>oh no Summer!

Guess the question is, were you comfortable? Too hot, too cold?</p> <p>It's been a nightmare for me. Cold then HOT, then cold - sometimes within the space of a few hours. I did a partial switch out and now I'm not sure whether to put more stuff away or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-transitioning#post-1459108 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 20:35:56 +0000 Angie 1459108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I WANT THAT CLUTCH RIGHT NOW.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-transitioning#post-1459094 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 20:12:27 +0000 Anonymous 1459094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've learned here to have some warm pieces that are lighter in color, and lighter colored footwear that can be worn with socks for transition. I have moved to using more light grey and shades of white as neutrals and would like to add some camel or toffee basics. I rely on colors such as blush, mint, cornflower blue, and yellow and would like to try turquoise, lavendar and peach...all in midtones or the dark edge of pastels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-transitioning#post-1459093 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 20:12:03 +0000 jackiec 1459093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG trouble? You look amazing!! First outfit is perfection, as are the others! Yes lock down that clutch from Angie, and also from me!!, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-transitioning#post-1459088 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 20:08:05 +0000 Anonymous 1459088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe, I agree with Suz, you look like you're sailing through the transition Love the hounds tooth coat and the clutch can't fail to add a spring-like feel to an outfit. I have to say that in #3 your legs look a mile long! I love the drape&nbsp;of the sweater with those bootcut jeans and lovely light booties. </p> <p>Personally I am struggling a bit because I realise that I need more light tops or sweaters.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-transitioning#post-1459082 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 20:03:14 +0000 Suz 1459082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG. You call this "trouble"? You look amazing, Susan! WOW. I absolutely adore the clutch and feel pretty sure I need one for myself. The jeans and the coat are also fantastic! These are perfect spring outfits.&nbsp;</p> <p>I always find it really tricky at this time of year in our climate, but my solution so far is a lot like yours. Lighter knitwear in spring-like colours; lighter washes of denim (once the slush recedes); booties instead of boots (YAY!!); lighter coats as the season moves on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouble-transitioning#post-1459076 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 19:57:47 +0000 Laura 1459076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Depending on what your weather is like ..... I gradually move to lighter jackets, depending on the temperature. You can also wear spring dresses too, just add a spring touch to it with a scarf, tights and boots.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like the cute outfit you wore to pilates!</p>
