Outfit of the Day: Chilly Spring Afternoon

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Chicago chapter.

While, it’s officially springtime, you wouldn’t think so in Chicago! Then again it wouldn’t be Chicago if it weren’t cold until the first day of June. Spring quarter at the U of C is always the busiest, from the many campus events to interviews; it’s hard to keep everything together, not to mention keep up with the weather. That’s why today I bring you the perfect chilly spring day outfit.

Spring in Chicago is always chilly, making the jean jacket the perfect go-to accessory. You can throw on a simple top underneath, a scarf, some leggings, flats and you’re good to go. However, if you feel like putting a little more effort into your outfit, you can throw on a bright colored dress underneath, a scarf, some wedges, tights to keep your legs warm, and for a pop of color, a neon bag, such as the yellow one shown above. Spring is all about layering and having key pieces in your wardrobe, like the perfect jean jacket and a pair of wedges that can take you anywhere. Stay warm collegiettes!
