And by “spring,” I mean spring wardrobe, spring outfits. To many, it’s bright colors and pastels. To others, it’s baring more skin. To me, it’s about quieter, softer colors. Fall is for the warm, highly-saturated tones like chestnut, rust, wine, pumpkin. Spring is softer – silvery sage green, robin’s egg blue, cream. Thinner, lighter fabrics and fine knits. And when it gets a little warmer, dresses. With bare legs. I can’t wait for that, but it’s still a little early here on Long Island.

Today I wore this outfit that was inspired (ha ha, no, this was really copied!) by Maddy Gutierrez in February’s Month in Review post. I really loved the combination of the light sage green under the cream cardigan…and I already had an almost identical cardi, so it was just a matter of finding the right top.

I found this sweet top at Loft in the perfect shade of green and with such pretty detailing. I broke out the skinny jeans and went with my chestnut espadrilles, which I think look so good with this soft green.

Here’s something clever about this top. The front is like a crepe material – very pretty, but has no stretch. The back is the same color, but in a lightweight, stretchable jersey knit. So you get the pretty in the front and the stretch in the back! Brilliant!

I’m sad that I never bought another pair of these skinny jeans from Charlotte Russe, as it is currently closing down. The online store is already gone and stores across the country are closing every day. I know there are skinny jeans everywhere but my legs are So Short, and these required no hemming.

I honestly didn’t realize til I was home editing the pictures, that the building complemented my outfit perfectly!

What are you most looking forward to wearing in spring that you weren’t able to wear all winter?
