The struggle is not apparent! I love the ease of 5, and you look great in that purple and the blue in the cardigan. </p> <p>How funny that so many of us have seasonal struggles, but they are all so different! I love spring transitional dressing because I can wear my light jackets and jeans comfortably, but struggle with it when it gets warmer and I have to lose the layers that flatter my body so much more than shorts and sleeveless tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1493452 Tue, 19 May 2015 11:38:23 +0000 unfrumped 1493452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good to me!<br /> You read my mind on, brain not putting together. It's like I can't remember what outfit for what temp. I'll cool diwn( or warm up) a notch and then freeze at work and wish I had worn my sweaters some more. Or vice versa. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1493409 Tue, 19 May 2015 06:50:53 +0000 CocoLion 1493409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure why you feel you're struggling because I think these outfits have Spring written all over them. &nbsp;I especially love #5, it's so feminine and the swingy skirt combined with the drape of the top plus the drape of the scarf have just the right amount of flair. &nbsp;(Without being over the top.)</p> <p>I do get the in-between weather quandary though, it's been unusually cool here for this time of year (60s -- usually it's already in the 80s in May), and I find myself still reaching for my black and gray winter sweaters. &nbsp;I think next year I want to focus on more pieces that provide warmth yet are not in winter colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1493152 Mon, 18 May 2015 16:07:16 +0000 gardenchick 1493152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of great looks here! You look very well put together, it would be hard to know that you're struggling.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1492926 Sun, 17 May 2015 22:12:45 +0000 AJ 1492926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1: olive and leopard print are always a good combo in my book!&nbsp; Olive looks nice with black too if you want to try that before it gets too hot.</p> <p>#5 is such a lovely look on you.&nbsp; I think it looks good with the nude pumps.&nbsp; </p> <p>Could be the lighting, but it's hard to tell if the color of blouse #3 flatters your skin tone.</p> It looks like you are doing a great job on adding a little something special to each of your outfits.&nbsp; No worries on your style mojo.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1492900 Sun, 17 May 2015 21:34:51 +0000 karymk 1492900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What color are the pants in the first photo? If they are soft khaki, then maybe toss some pink into this outfit and I bet you will feel that "spring" in your step.</p> <p>You look great in the purple top. &nbsp;I think mid tones really make you look bright and beautiful.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1492829 Sun, 17 May 2015 16:41:44 +0000 Staysfit 1492829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't look at what anyone else has said because I don't want to bias my thinking. My favorites are outfits 1 and 5, with 5 being my all out favorite. I think you look really great. I'm going to try to explain why. For outfit one, I think I like the colors. The white top brings light to your face and the collar looks good on you. I like you in low contrast, light colors. For outfit 5, it's once again low contrast, light colors, and the scarf is absolutely gorgeous on you! I love everything here. This should be a repeat wear outfit! </p> <p>(Transitional weather is tough to dress for! We have it also, only one day it's 50 degrees F, the next it's 80 degrees F. It's unpredictable! I think you're doing a great job. Nothing you have posted looks bad, I just have two favorites.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1492822 Sun, 17 May 2015 16:26:28 +0000 No Fear of Fashion 1492822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all your outfits. You were wise to wear pumps with heels with the cropped trousers. I always love cropped trousers, but find them hard to wear with flats. All your outfits have something extra, so I think you are doing pretty well. But I know what you are saying. I have loads of outfits for "in-between-weather". Only when that type of weather finally comes along, I cannot think of a single outfit.<br />Greetje </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1491444 Thu, 14 May 2015 03:15:00 +0000 dakotacheryl 1491444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you on the transitional weather. It was 19F when I got up Monday morning with two feet of snow from Sunday's big storm. Got home today and the snow was gone and the high was 75F.. Crazy!</p> <p>You look great in your photos...really love the white jeans ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1491410 Thu, 14 May 2015 01:47:14 +0000 Anonymous 1491410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely, Sara! These are all so you! I really like 1 and most especially 5. The skirt looks great with the simplicity of the closed-toe pumps. I'm not sure I'd like the look as much with the extra detail a sandal might introduce. </p> <p>Your post has got me thinking about the magical 3rd piece. I'm finding myself drawn to looks 1, 2 and 5 over the other two (which are both great too!). All 5 are super looks, but the bolder necklace, cardi and scarf just seem to add a polished finishing touch to my eye. </p> <p>And it's always a treat to see your little kitty photobomber. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1491405 Thu, 14 May 2015 01:31:56 +0000 catgirl 1491405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I so know what you mean!&nbsp; And that is what my entire summer is like -&nbsp;the weather can change in a snap daily.&nbsp;But I think you look great, as long as you weren't too hot/cold for the daily temps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1491404 Thu, 14 May 2015 01:30:56 +0000 Anonymous 1491404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are looking fab in spite of your struggles. The first outfit is my favorite with #5 as a close second. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1491395 Thu, 14 May 2015 01:13:24 +0000 Karie 1491395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I see some great outfits here! I do understand about struggling with spring dressing, though. Here it's been 40 in the morning and 80 in the afternoon. I also hate cold toes so I end up wearing shoes and bringing my sandals to work with me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1491144 Wed, 13 May 2015 16:26:27 +0000 Suz 1491144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Struggling? STRUGGLING?&nbsp;</p> <p>Struggling not to look too fantastic, maybe.&nbsp;</p> <p>These are some of my favourites on you ever!&nbsp;</p> <p>I can't say which one I like best because I love them all.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do hear you on the difficulties of the transitional season, though. I find it's always an adjustment.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1491095 Wed, 13 May 2015 13:44:58 +0000 Thistle 1491095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look terrific and put together. My favorites are #1 and #3, but all are good. </p> <p>I hear you on the season being rough, though. Last week we had 2 days in the 70s, this week is all 40s. It's like a tease. Here is a little taste of summer, then I am going to snatch it away and give you late fall :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1491087 Wed, 13 May 2015 13:32:23 +0000 lyn67 1491087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Struggles??? Why? Love them ALL, each is doing a great job for what you styled!!! great dress in 4, YLF Sara!&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh, but I know so well dreading transition outfits from my past. For me it's all in the springy colors, so during the years I collected some brights and esp. whites and creams! I think having &nbsp;clothes with some weight in a springy palette make a great difference for transition weather and it's one of my firsts year I feel eventually great &nbsp;about my transition wardrobe!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1490987 Wed, 13 May 2015 06:00:37 +0000 Karin L H 1490987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great in all pics! I definitely know how you're feeling, I get the same way... But I think you're handling it great! Do all outfits work with the temperatures you're having? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1490975 Wed, 13 May 2015 05:10:18 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1490975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a good week to me. I know what you mean about transition dressing. I have the same feeling, as if I have nothing to wear, when in fact we have transition weather like this a couple of times a year! I really like 1, 3, and 5 on you--I think it's a combination of the colors and the styles. I really love the draping on the top in 3 and the same effect in 5. You wear that look really well. And the nude pumps work great with the last outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1490943 Wed, 13 May 2015 03:09:12 +0000 Sara L. 1490943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ledonna - that is a great idea to make a spring capsule. Right now all my spring clothes are really just winter and summer rejects (for example - 3/4 sleeves that are too warm for summer but too cold for winter). I've never bought anything specifically for spring ( or fall either). Maybe if I pulled everything out that I wear for spring and put a capsule together my outfits would feel more purposeful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1490941 Wed, 13 May 2015 03:01:53 +0000 rachylou 1490941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My faves are 3-5. Something about the tops. They're both fancy and casual. You look good in all, but I understand the feeling. I just want to hide my head. They're talking snow and rain in the forecast again. In May. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1490937 Wed, 13 May 2015 02:50:00 +0000 Caro in Oz 1490937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with the others I think you look fantastic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1490935 Wed, 13 May 2015 02:47:45 +0000 Jaime 1490935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific in all.

You're not struggling with Spring attire at all, Sara. These are ALL good outfits. #1 and #5 might be my favourite outfits you've posted. 11 out if 10.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1490750 Tue, 12 May 2015 20:53:13 +0000 Sal 1490750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a great week to me!</p> <p>I also struggle in the transition time....it should be easy but it can be hard to get the warmth level right throughout the day. &nbsp;Last spring I realised that I did need a couple of light weight jackets, one of which I have worn an awful lot, and moderately. &nbsp;</p> <p>My favourite looks are 1 and 3, and I think the hand-me down black crops look a wonderful fit as do the new white jeans. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1490738 Tue, 12 May 2015 20:18:02 +0000 carter 1490738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look great to me! #1 is my favorite. I'm a bit jealous that you're just starting Spring. Ours came and went in the blink of an eye. Now it's 90 degrees all week. Yuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---spring-struggles#post-1490717 Tue, 12 May 2015 19:33:54 +0000 Sara L. 1490717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm struggling with spring because it's not warm and it's not cold.&nbsp; I always have problems with this in-between time of year.&nbsp; I feel like nothing in my wardrobe goes together although I'm pretty sure it hasn't changed much since last spring/summer.&nbsp; I went back through last summer's photos and sure enough, things haven't changed much.&nbsp; My brain just isn't making connections for some reason.&nbsp; I'm hoping that reviewing last summer's outfits will spark some ideas since I've been feeling pretty blah with my wardrobe lately.</p> <p>1- Worn to work - I liked this outfit<br />2 - New white jeans<br />3 - The black cropped pants are new-to-me (cast offs from my sister).&nbsp; They seem to fit okay.<br />4 - Graphic tee and skirt.&nbsp; This skirt is a little tight and I'll be trying to find a replacement dark denim skirt this summer.<br />5 - I think sandals might have looked better with this, but it's still chilly in the mornings and I like closed toe shoes in the spring until it warms up a little more.</p> <p>Thanks for looking and any comments or suggestions are more then welcome. </p>
