So it’s above freezing, but it’s not quite 50 degrees either. I’m really tired of the dark saturated tones of my winter clothing but it isn’t warm enough to wear many of my pastel light and airy spring tops by themselves. Finding just the right balance for the in-between is something I struggle with every time the seasons change.
Sure I have read all about layering but it’s not just about the warmth its about the colors and texture of the clothing (Well, at least it is for me). Many of my spring and summer tops have feminine details such as flutter sleeves, pin tucking, puffed sleeves, embroidery, pleating, etc. which only show to their full effect when I am not wearing a jacket or cardigan over them.
I came up with this solution for running errands today. I am really pleased because I can also wear it to work. The tunic top I’m wearing is slightly more opaque than lace. But it has the lovely details that I described above concentrated in the center of the blouse – so it will show through the open front of the cardigan. I also love the bejeweled trim on the cardigan. The spring feel of the colors are appropriate for the season and also favorites of mine. I am also really happy because this ensemble is completely me.
