It is no secret that Ithaca winters are long and frigid. However, during first week of 70-degree days when the Arts Quad becomes a frisbee field and the Slope a picnicking headquarter, the long wait for Spring suddenly seems worth the cold-weather blues.
Now that the weather allows for more than jeans and jackets, it’s time to start crafting a whimsical warm wardrobe. Anyone who says you can’t wear sunshine has not seen these eight fashion baits:
1. For A Fabulous Foot-
Michael Kors Espadrille Wedge Sandal

Rebecca Taylor Paisley Print Relaxed Shorts
