I'm Ready For Spring - YouLookFab Forum

Hello.

I know spring isn't supposed to arrive until March 20 (according to the calendar), but I'm ready for spring dressing now.

#1 to #3 - Blue and White For A Cold Spring Day
It's cold today so I pulled out my blue/white striped Caslon sweater and layered it over a white Gap long sleeve tee, added my white Wit & Wisdom Jeans, and powder blue Anne Klein loafers. A blue Coach tote bag finished the look.

#4 to #7 - Purple and Green With Butterflies
To run errands over the weekend (when it was a lot warmer!) I paired a green linen Gap jacket with a purple graphic tee from Butterfly Wonderland in AZ and faded black Paige straight leg jeans. A black Tumi crossbody bag and offwhite Reebok Club C sneakers finished off the look.

I don't wear these Reebok Club C sneakers often because they are a halfsize too big (they are unisex sizing and I definitely think they run in size closer to a men's sneaker than a women's sneaker). I normally wear these for yardwork.

Thanks for looking!

Looks great, Lisa, I love these colors on you!
we had a huge snowstorm two days ago. Piles of snow everywhere. I’m so ready for spring, ahead of calendar!

Fresh, Fab, Fun! (YES to Spring dressing whenever! I wear Spring colours year round. Why not!)

Looking KILLER stinking cute in #4, Lisa The white sneakers look awesome with the outfit, despite the too big size. Maybe you need white sneakers in the right size? Or you might have those too.

Lisa

Irina - We're supposed to get snow tomorrow, getting snow at all is rare in my area. To get it twice in one winter season, it's unprecedented!

Angie - Wearing spring colors when it's cold and dark outside is so refreshing against all of the dark colors I see in colder months. It's definitely a shot of dopamine!

*happily collects killer rating* I have these Eccos and Ascis (in the finds) that I can wear next time instead of the Reebok's. The Reebok's will stay demoted to yardwork.

Sal

Oh I love that clear sky blue and stripes on you.

Very fresh.

Suz

You look eminently spring-like, Lisa! I won't be dressing like that for a few months at least, I fear. But I love that blue on you -- spectacular.

Jaime

The bright blue and white are super on you. And agree with Angie - you need white shoes. Have you tried insoles?

slim cat

Very pretty and definitely spring like! Love blue with white - so fresh!

Sal - Blue and white is one of my favorite color combinations. Thanks for looking!

Suz - I anticipate my graphic tees coming back into the rotation by late March/early April. Until then I'm trying to enjoy my sweaters and jeans as much as I can. Thanks for looking!

Jaime - I agree white sneakers work well with the butterfly tee and green jacket outfit. Fortunately I have two pairs of white sneakers (see finds above with my response to Angie) that I can try next time I wear this outfit. Thanks for the suggestion and for looking!

slim cat - I like white jeans year round but especially on cold spring days, the white really brightens up an outfit with a sweater. Thanks for looking!

Brooklyn

Very pretty and very spring!

Star

I love both outfits. #1 looks particularly springy to me. We having a snow dump currently so only dreaming about spring clothes, not wearing them! It is a good idea though to pop in a spring colour to cheer up even if it is cold. Heavy snow is usual in the country I live but not in my seaside town.

kkards

Lol, I thought you were excited to wear your sweaters
I totally hear you. High yesterday 14F/-10c, about the same today, and I’m over it.

On the other hand, I’m all in for your fabulous blue striped sweater! And your overall great transitional outfits.

Bring on spring! It's been sooo abnormally cold this year- and we've gotten snow a couple times too and normally don't
Love the first outfit especially- and your pine trees make me happy cause it looks like my yard!

Joy

You look ready for spring but where is it. We have a major cold snap and snow on the ground.

Lisa, Go Team Dopamine Dressing!

Looks like you're fably sorted with white sneakers that fit

Runcarla

It’s been all hands on deck for snow shovelling where I live! The most accumulation we’ve experienced in the 11 years we’ve lived here. It will probably be another 6 weeks before I can go out without a puffer or wool coat. Still, no reason not to wear spring colours!

cat2

I’m doing winter weight blush, pink and burgundy for February. I don’t have much winter weight pink, just some teeny flecks in a couple of tweeds.

I am laughing helplessly at this post while layered up in some of my warmest things, but I do like the symphony of blues!
(It’s fine, I don’t feel ready for spring till at least May.)

SarahD8

Great color schemes here! I especially like the blue but then again something about the muddy neutrals combined with the pop of bright lavender just screams early spring to me. Well done!

Brooklyn - White jeans are great for injecting a little spring into outfits. Thanks for the kind words and for looking!

Star - I often crave spring colors while it's still cold and make sure to have at least a couple of sweaters in lighter colors to fill that need. Thanks for looking!

kkards - I am enjoying wearing sweaters as long as I can, because I probably have a month or less of sweater weather. Although today it's actually snowing-again! It's rare to get snow at all in my area, twice in one season is unheard of!

Suntiger - We are getting snow today, a rarity to get snow once in a season, this year we're getting it twice! And *high five for pine trees* Although I do not appreciate them during "pollen season" they create a lot of pollen!

Joy - We're cold and snowy in my area today too, and I'm ready for it to move along so spring can come! Thanks for looking!

Angie - *high five for dopamine dressing* And yes, I have white sneakers which means now I can focus on adding colorful one's instead.

Runcarla - I think this winter has been quite cold and snowy in all areas. We're actually getting snow again today, twice in one season is unheard of in my area. But I know it'll all melt in a day or two.

cat2 - Blush, pink, and burgundy are lovely colors for February! Thanks for sharing your approach for February!

Cookie - I'm happy for spring to arrive, the sooner the better is my moto.

SarahD8 - White jeans makes it easy for an outfit to say spring to me. And I was pleasantly surprised at how well the brighter purple/lavender color paired with olive green. It's a combination I defintely want to expeiremnt more with in the future. Thanks for looking!

RobinF

Yay for spring dressing! Still winter wonderland up here but I'm all for spring colors!

Love that striped sweater and perfect with white jeans. The white sneakers are great with your jeans in the second outfit. Can't tell at all that the fit isn't right.

RobinF - We just got a couple inches of snow in my area. It looks like spring is going to take a little longer to get here this year. Thanks for looking!
