Getting Ready For Warmer Weather: Transitional Dressing

April 9, 2020 •

As the weather starts to get warmer, even if it’s little by little as it is here in Cleveland, I am so ready to pack away my heaviest coats and look for new pieces to wear during this time of transition. I want something that will keep me warm, but not the heavy winter coats I’ve been wearing. This Theory coat is perfect for the job. It’s made of wool and cashmere and comes in a variety of colors. I chose the gray because, well neutrals are my thing, but at least it’s something other than black!

I paired it with an old turtleneck I had that has some cute buttons on the sleeve. The 3.1 Phillip Lim joggers are so cute with their cargo pockets. Unfortunately they’re no longer available, but don’t worry I found so many cute joggers and pants by 3.1 Phillip Lim as well as some other brands.

I love these Steve Madden combat boots. I wear them a lot (as you can see from previous posts!) and they’re super comfortable. I’d also wear this outfit with a kitten or block heel bootie while it’s still cool out or a cute flat as it gets a little warmer.

This outfit is so versatile and simply changing the turtleneck to a t-shirt will help you transition in to the warmer weather.

Only for my bestie would I get up at the crack of Only for my bestie would I get up at the crack of dawn to catch a 7 am flight (🥱). It’s her 65th birthday weekend and I wouldn’t miss it for the world! We met at sleep away camp in 1974!  I didn’t know what to pack so I brought @myjennibag so I could bring it all!  This cozy outfit is by @frankandeileen and is perfect for flying (and running errands, hanging around, going out-for everything!) I put a long sleeve top underneath cause it’s freezing here in NYC.  I’ll be comfy on the flight and look cute, if I do say so myself!  #clothesthatdontboreme #frankandeileen  #myjennibag #gifted #65thbirthday #bestfriends #earlyflight #airportoutfit #cozyoutfit #ootm #blackoutfit

I’ve learned that the size something is marked i I’ve learned that the size something is marked is not as important as how the item fits! I own clothes from xsmall to xlarge, depending on what it is and how I want it to look. Today I’m wearing a beautiful dress and sweater from @birdieandclaire The Jordan Dress is a size large as I didn’t want it too fitted, but the Kristin Sweater is a size small. I love how they look and fit together and how comfortable I feel wearing them together and separately.  @birdieandclaire produces their knitwear on demand (completed within 5-8 days of the order!), while the rest of their clothing is created in small batches, both made right here in NYC! Honoring the founder’s great grandaunt and great grandmother, Birdie and Claire, this company designs clothes to help women feel confident and look good at every age.
