Even though the groundhog may have seen his shadow once again this year, (meaning 6 more weeks of winter)Â doesn’t mean we can’t pretend that spring is right around the corner. For the people with spring fever, I’m sure you’re waiting to bust out all your shorts and tank tops, but before you get ahead of yourself try to slowly ease into spring with this preppy less bulky winter look. Don’t worry, before you know it, it will be 60-degree weather. You just need to make it through the next month or so!
Vests are the perfect transition from those bulky sweaters. They keep you warm and layered without making it look like you packed on more than a hundred pounds. This Padded Vest from H&M has a cute collar and side pockets to make your life even better.
Try to find a long sleeve button up shirt to put the vest over. Any button up shirt will automatically make you look sophisticated and who doesn’t want to effortlessly look sophisticated? Wear it to school, dinner parties, or even to work.
For your jeans, you’ll want to find a dark pair if you’re going with a lighter top. These Low Rise Thick Stich jeans from Express are perfect with beautiful embroidered pockets. These skinny jeans make your outfit anything but simple.
Lastly these adorable shall we dance? Flats. A pointed toe is always a good way to go if you’re trying to stick to a more sophisticated/professional look. With little bows on top, they scream out spring!
