March is Marching In
March 1, 2009
March 1st. In like a lion, out like a lamb. Or so the saying goes.
How can you take advantage of the coming spring weather with your wardrobe?
First, trade in that heavy wool coat, or puffer, for a lightweight trench:

Try this trench from Gap for $54.99. Don’t like the color? Gap offers a whole host of colors to pick from. Don’t like the price? Wait around for a couple more weeks and the price will drop, or head to Target where I saw plenty of pretty, nicely priced trenches to pick from.
Trade out your long sleeve tees and sweaters for a soft knit top, or high quality tee, and a lightweight cardigan:

This little cardigan is also from Gap and comes in a wide variety of spring-like colors. Pair your soft knit top/tee and cardigan with either dark denim jeans, or a denim skirt for a smart, and casual look.
Give your boots and loafers a well deserved rest, and when the rain lets up, slip on a pair of brightly colored flats for doing errands, it will make you feel much more jaunty:

Lastly, nothing says spring more than wearing a flowy, slightly tailored, jersey dress:
I know I’ll be wearing and combining many of the above articles as spring quickly advances.
