Dressing for spring in cozy neutrals when it’s still chilly.
Kansas City really isn’t getting the spring memo, guys. Just when we get a little hint of warm weather, a cold front breezes in from the north and sets us back in the 30s and 40s. (It has even snowed the past few Sundays!) I’m definitely feeling like wearing all the spring pieces, but the temps just aren’t cooperating– what’s a girl to do? Fashion pivot, of course: cozy spring neutrals, it is. I’m looking for spring style without sacrificing warmth. I went with light + bright neutrals for this look; a loose-knit sweater in a goes-with-everything beige and white leather loafers. A lighter-wash denim helps anchor the look in spring, and dainty gold accessories (love this necklace set!) add some whimsy.
Shop the look:
I love sweaters like this– the first thing that comes to mind when I think cozy spring neutrals. They work layered with turtlenecks and camisoles in the cooler months, but can be kept out for the spring and summer because of their lighter weight and looser knit.This particular sweater is perfect for pairing with denim cutoffs and ankle boots for those summer nights that dip temperature-wise once the sun goes down.

Oh how I want that sweater in my closet! SUPER CUTE! Have the best weekend sweets!
The sleeves make it so fun! Thanks lady + happy weekend!
This definitely says “spring” to me – I love the shoes especially. I’ve been hunting for a pair just like that!

I agree! And I love to keep a few lightweight sweaters around for summer- they work so well with cutoff shorts for cool summer nights!
I’m all about the cozy look for Spring because right now it doesn’t feel like Spring LOL!! That sweater though is so cute and the airy look gives it some Spring vibes. And I’m swooning over those shoes!

What is the deal this year? We need SPRING! Thanks for swingin’ by, sista!
That sweater is perfect for this time of year! Our weather can’t make up its mind here either. There is a 20+ degree difference between yesterday and today. Not ok. Where are you spring??

That sweater looks so cozy! If only the weather would cooperate so that you don’t need a cozy sweater in April 🙂
I’ve got my fingers crossed for some warmer weather soon!
Trust me, we are all in the same boat with this too chilly spring weather! I love the sweater, and the lighter colors work to convey the feelings of spring.
