They say March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb. Well, we sure experienced the lion with all of the crazy, unpleasant weather we had! Now I’m ready for the lamb! Who’s with me?

I’ve been keeping busy with some Spring cleaning projects; re-decorating my bedroom and swim suit shopping. But one of the most time consuming projects of all is transitioning your wardrobe to the next season! If you live in a state that experiences all four seasons like I do, then you’ll know what I’m talking about. While it can be fun and exciting to rediscover all of your old clothing from seasons past, it really is a bit of a daunting task. But it doesn’t have to be!

Instead of getting all new clothing, try to focus on transitioning what you already have. Here’s a few tips on how to simplify your life and maximize your wardrobe through transitioning.

When you think outside of the box,
amazing things can happen! You’ll be surprised at how many pieces can be
transitioned when you really take a close look at your closet. Hopefully these tips will get all of us in the spirit (myself included)!

How to Transition Your Wardrobe to Spring (& Maximize It!)

1- Lighter Color Palette

One of the most important elements in fashion is the color palette. By simply changing the color of a piece, it can make it perfect for one season or even season-less. My favorite season-less colors are red, navy, blush, greys, and nudes.

2- Add Seasonal Details

Instead
of spending your well-earned money on seasonal clothing, spend it on
seasonal accessories. This is a great way to take a season-less outfit
and make it scream Spring!

3- Stick with Layering Pieces

Hold
back on the sweaters and instead invest more in sleeveless oxfords,
light cardigans, and short sleeve blouses. These are fantastic layering
pieces for the colder weather and perfect for transitioning to warmer
weather. Remove a layer here, add a layer there; layering is ideal for customizing a look for every season.

The Banana Republic Anna Cardigan in navy is a fabulous transition piece because of the color and
lightweight material. For the Fall and Winter, I love pairing it with
plaid or argyle for a collegiate look. Then in the Spring
and Summer, it’s a lovely addition to a nautical-inspired look or a
great neutral to complement brights, like coral or turquoise.

The LC Lauren Conrad Floral Statement Necklace is a great example of seasonal accessories! By adding this to my look, it adds an instant dash of Spring fever.

The
blush ruffled blouse from The Limited is the epitome of a transitional
piece. It’s a sleeveless blouse- also known as a shell- so you can wear
it all Winter with a blazer or sweater. Then come Spring, pair it with a
lighter jacket or wear it by itself.
