9 Spring Outfit Ideas: When It Still Feels Like Winter

9 Spring Outfit Ideas: When it Still Feels Like Winter
I can’t believe it’s finally March!  We seem to be getting out of the winter and heading closer to spring each day, however, if you live in a cold place like the Midwest, it still will be some time until you can start wearing all those cute spring clothes.  I try not to let the weather hold me back from dressing for the season.  Just because it’s still cold out, doesn’t mean that I can’t bring some spring into my wardrobe.

Today I want to share some outfit ideas with you that will help bring some spring into your winter wardrobe.  My trick for dressing like it’s spring when it still feels like winter is to add light colors to your outfits.  Instead of dark denim, switch in a light wash denim or white denim. You can also wear sweaters.  I like to wear my lighter neutral color sweaters.  You can also throw in some layering pieces like a denim jacket or a light colored blazer.  I also am always eager to trade out my boots and booties for a pair of flats or sneakers.
Here are 9 different outfit ideas to help inspire you to add a little spring to your winter wardrobe.
