winters gone and spring is coming! ... ish...

Here in BC the spring magazines are out and the cute spring dresses are on display... and its...raining and 6 degrees out. Whats a Canadian girl to do? If your wanting to embrace the warmth of spring but need enough layers to keep you warm here are some great Ideas!

The boyfriend pants

Now I would not necessarily wear your boyfriends jeans, stores like the Gap and AE actually sell this fit. Now since its to cold outside to put on those jean shorts, and capris can be... well... not as flattering, try rolling up the cuff a little on your favorite slouchy jeans. This gives you a casual look but you can make it feminine with accessories. Taking off layers as the sun comes out makes this a Do for spring.

The white blazer

Not warm enough for just a T shirt but not cold enough for a big jacket, a white jacket is a good alternative! White is hot on the runway for spring and summer, and brightens up any wardrobe, just be careful not to get it dirty!

The skirt n boot

It may sound like a country line dance but "the skirt n boot" is a good way to ease your legs back into the fresh air. Now there are definitely some rules to wearing this look. 1) Do not wear a mini skirt! its still cold! Skirts should be no shorter than a fingers width above the knee. 2) Don't wear in the rain... it just sucks. 3) Pair it with some other form of Jacket.

The trench

Trenches are light weight and oh so chic! if they are long enough, opt for a dress underneath, to dress it up a bit. They are perfect for the Fashionista when accessories, or clean and sleek for the minimalist. Khaki as I have stated is a classic choice and big this spring, but solid deep colors can be cute and unique!
