These winter temperatures
have me dreaming of sunshine, lounge chairs, and dining al fresco. While it is still a few weeks away (maybe months away), I have started ogling the new spring
lines debuting in stores. Enter the ever important
transition piece, the one that carries you from winter into the first days of
spring. Think windy March days with hints of spring.
Not only is this striped dress
great for transitioning from winter to spring (not to mention summer to fall),
but it can also be dressed up or down. Raise your hand if you love these
type of wardrobe staples. This girl has 3 hands in the air right now.
The more casual pairing of
this dress is perfect for a weekend brunch with girlfriends. Put together, but
also easy enough to throw on to mask the hangover you might have from
the night before. By putting on an army field jacket, it breaks up the stripes a bit (the uber popular J. Crew version is also a great option). Coordinate a
belt to cinch the waist with cognac booties and you are ready for mimosas.
To dress it up for a work
event, pair it with this great navy blazer from J. Crew (I got this blazer from
Santa and it has been in regular rotation). It hits just right and the fit is
amazing. Throw on a scarf that complements the colors but mixes in another
pattern and finish it off with a pair of nude heels. Voila you are polished and
chic.
