Hey Ladies, it’s time to put away those sweaters and UGGs. The sun is back so step into the gorgeous pre-Spring weather we’ve been having with a wardrobe that’s fab, fun, and flirty. I’ve pieced together five great daytime outfits that are both pretty and practical!

Loose blouses in neutral colors pair wonderfully with jean shorts. This outfit is full of subtle embellishments that make the outfit stand out, but beware of having too much going on. Mixing colorful accessories with neutral shades of brown is great for contrast. Peep-toe booties add a western edge, and heels elongate those great gams you’re showing off with the shorts.

Classic gray skinny jeans go great with a short, fitted blazer for a classy but casual look. Blazers aren’t restricted to formalwear, and don’t have to be only black or gray. Exchange heavy winter boots for chic ankle-length booties in basic colors. Coordinating colorful accessories can certainly add variety to an outfit.

The feminine daytime piece is perfect for a sunny day. Bright, flowy skirts are fun and flirty, and don’t have to be super short. Patterned scarves are great against a plain shirt, but make sure that it doesn’t scream for too much attention. Pair it with embellished flats to look cute, or dress it up with nude pumps to add some sexy!Unlike large, bulky handbags, medium-sized handbags are great daytime accessories that are still convenient and catchy, but don’t distract from the rest of the outfit.

While colors are great, a woman clad in all black signifies sheer sophistication. Striped dresses are in vogue; pair them with leggings and boots for cooler weather. Take risks with bows and floral accessories that add girly flair, and 1920’s style hats that give a vintage look.


Layering
is essential for our unpredictable weather. Wearing leggings and cardigans are great, but it’s good to wear ones in solid neutral colors, while keeping the dress bright or patterned. Trendy flats complement the look, and don’t forget matching jewelry!
