As we slowly make our way toward spring (which officially begins March 20), I am prepping my wardrobe and creating transitional outfits. Here in Southern California, we are already having random 80 degree days followed up by 60 degree days, so having a versatile wardrobe is a necessity.
Last week, I found this lightweight, double-breasted cardigan from the DownEast Basics spring line with slouchy pockets, and I think it’s the perfect piece for the seasonal change. The bright coral color reminds me of spring, but it still keeps me warm in the cooler weather.
On warm days (like it was the day of these photos), I like pairing it with some rolled-up jeans (which I love to wear, by the way, and learned to do from a J.Crew stylist) and flats. A lightweight scarf gives some added warmth, and the floral print screams “spring.”
Scarf: For Love 21, similar
Jeans: American Eagle Outfitters straight leg jeans, similar
Flats: Target Mossimo flats in blush, $14.99
But until the spring weather is here to stay, I can still make this cardigan work on cold days by wearing it over a chambray denim shirt or a long-sleeved blouse, paired with some skinny jeans and boots. It would also look great layered under a blazer… Oh, the possibilities!
