Happy Fashion Friday friends! With Spring just around the corner, I've brainstorming ways to get the most use out of my wardrobe, and hands down layering is going to be key. I want to get the most use out of my boots, faux fur vests, and cardigans, and I'm sure many of you do as well!
Since I'm not one to wear a dress unless its a maxi dress or cocktail date night dress, I like to figure out multiple ways I can wear one or two pretty spring dresses as the weather warms up.
LOOK ONE:
FLORAL DRESS WITH CASUAL CARDIGAN AND KNEE HIGH BOOTS
I'll be the first to admit I LOVE this cardigan and also own it in navy (no surprise there!). It is currently under $20, but even at full price it's a great layering piece!
When it's chilly in the mornings, but warms up by the afternoon, it's nice to have a casual cardigan to put on or take off with weather changes.
LOOK TWO:
FLORAL DRESS WITH FAUX FUR VEST AND TAUPE SUEDE HEELS
I love how this still has a bit of a Pacific Northwest Winter vibe to it with the touches of black, but that the heels and dress will transition nicely into spring. The lower heel on these is nice for everyday wear to when you want to look dressier, but are looking for something more than a flat shoe to wear. ;-)
LOOK THREE:
FLORAL DRESS WORN AS SHIRT WITH WHITE DENIM
One of my favorite tricks is to tuck the front of a dress into denim for a completely different look! You can't do this with every dress obviously, but if it's flowy like this swing dress and falls nicely, it can work and nobody will know the difference. ;-)
And by the way, I am LOVING those sandals! Pretty sure they are going to be my go to sandal for Spring. I love my high heel pumps, but when you have a heel like this that wraps across the top of your foot, it makes it easier to walk in. Plus the height on these isn't too crazy, so they still feel "mommy friendly" when on the go with the kiddos.

I hope this helps you as you are planning outfits and transitioning into Spring weather, not to mention wedding season!
