My 5 Transitional Pieces for Spring

With spring around the corner (literally, YAY!) I know we're all thinking of ways to transition our closets.  Today I've chosen 5 pieces that will transition from winter to spring.  Some will even take you through summer to fall!

1. The Ankle Bootie
Incredibly versatile piece that can be dressed up or down.  Whatever type of style you have, you can bet they've made an ankle bootie for you!  I've picked a few of my favorites and styled them below.  One with a Moto jacket and printed skinnies and the other with a bold shift dress.

Leather motorcycle jacket / skinny fit jeans / shift dress

2. The Shirt Dress
This one is my favorite because not only does it transition well into spring, but then into summer and into fall.  It's a staple for sure.  Wear it now with leggings, flats or booties and later with bare legs and sandals.  Dress it up with lots of fun accessories; add a fedora, scarf and cool sunnies!

ponte pants /  lace up heels /  ballerina shoes / cotton scarve / crochet hat


3. The Leather Skirt
Now I could see this not exactly being a staple piece, it's probably more of an extra in your closet (if you own one at all).  It's a great transition piece because it's heavy enough while there is still snow on the ground but cute enough to pull you into spring.  Below I've styled it two ways, kind of preppy and a little edgy.  Which one do you like best?

4. The Denim Jacket
A layering piece for anytime of year.  A great way to add some texture and dimension to your outfit.  Wear it over a patterned top with white or colored jeans!

5. The Striped Blazer
OK, yes I know.. Clearly I'm obsessed with a few things this spring has to offer.  I cannot help that the striped nautical look is here to stay for a while!  A Navy and white striped jacket of any kind is a great way to add some interest to a boring outfit.  Add it to a bold colored top with jeans and some accessories.  This is a perfect weekend go to!

Look this week for my picks on the 30x30 Remix Challenge.  I'm going to give this a whirl in March in hopes to be more thankful of what I have and re-spark some creativity within my closet!

Hope you're all having a great weekend!
