It’s no secret at this point – I’m really craving Spring. But if I’m going to justify a new purchase at this point, it needs to feel like it can work for right now as well as 3 months from now when the temperatures are safely in the Seventies. Here – my top picks for pieces that will take you seamlessly from Winter to Spring:

The Striped Twinset: I love the rich brown and ivory stripes on this cardigan twinset and the fact that it manages to be retro and also completely modern all at once. I’d wear it now with a crisp pleated midi skirt to the office and later with cut-off jean shorts and metallic loafers for a sort of Brigitte Bardot of 2016 vibe.

The Bold Trouser: Cropped trousers are the shape of the season, and I love the ocean blue hue on this slightly slouchy pair. For the last days of winter I’d toss them on with a classic camel overcoat, but once it warms up I’d match them with an off the shoulder top and a bright pop of pink lipstick.

The Pink Ankle Boot: Sneakers, Flats, and now even pink ankle boots. Subtle enough to match with nearly everything in your wardrobe, but bold enough to put a little Spring in your step – I’m making a serious case for blush pink shoes this season. These go great with a beat up pair of boyfriend jeans, but they’d be just as cool with a floral dress, bare legs and oversized sunglasses once the weather warms.

The Printed Tunic: A definite Spring staple, if you want to pick this up early (and since it’s 20% off right now you probably should), you can layer it with a turtleneck sweater and denim jacket. Then later, shed layers and accessorize with heeled suede sandals and a long pendant necklace.

The Nautical Extras: I never get tired of adding a nautical touch when Spring rolls around. Oversized white shades and a navy, paisley clutch are perfect now with a trench coat and denim flares or later with a striped tee and faux leather mini.
