wear it now and later!

As spring makes it's self known slowly and surely (at least here in the Midwest) I've been trying to integrate a few spring wardrobe items into my everyday outfits.  If you layer right a lot of the items you own can be worn for multiple seasons - making your wardrobe (and the money you invest in it) work harder and smarter for you.

With that idea in mind I like to try and think about how the items that I have in my closet can work for the current season and for the upcoming seasons as well.  Here I have featured two spring and summer staples: the denim skirt and a maxi dress, and styled them up for now (spring) and later (summer).

now: cardigan, striped top, blue cross-body bag, sneakers, denim skirt

later: embroidered tank, hat, earrings, sandals, denim skirt

now: denim jacket, earrings, scarf, wedges, dress

later: swimsuit, tote, sandal wedges, dress
