How to Keep Warm in the Spring

The Spring in Connecticut tends to start out cold and sunny, so while the sun is out and skies are blue it is by no means warm. Spring, in it's nature, is a transition-season and on the East Coast of the United States 'transition' is the important word.

Today after I came back from the prison I changed my bottoms and added the vest. I wore a Max Studio maxi skirt, with a men's knit sweater from a store in Ireland, a red collared shirt from a vintage store in Paris underneath, and my favorite military vest from Shoxie. I was warm, but still Spring-ish with my maxi skirt and touch of bold red hiding underneath. Talk to you guys tomorrow!

If You Like It Then You Should Put a Sweater Over It

Spring has come to the East Coast. However, for those of you who don't know what that looks like--it means that it can be 55 degrees (12 degrees Celsius) or 43 degrees (7 degrees Celsius) and sunny. Since Winter lasts so long and it gets so cold on the East Coast, as soon as the sun comes out people start wearing shorts and skirts with bare-legs even though it's not actually warm, it is just sunny.

Sweaters are a great way to tackle the crisp air of spring while not being to hot when the sun is out. Whether you're wearing a flowy dress, like Tamu-pictured is, or wide-leg trousers (like I wore this morning to teach at the prison) put a sweater over it (it being what you're wearing) to transition into spring. If you want to put a collar underneath, that's fun as well.

Have a happy sunny day wherever you are!
