Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter..........SPRINTER?

Its that almost magical time of year. No not winter. Not spring yet either. Its something that we will call SPRINTER. SPRINTER is that time of year when its still cold on some days but then its magically 65 degrees the next day. I live in Cleveland so this happens quite often. There could be a whole blizzard one day and the next day the sun is shining and the skies are beautifully blue. In such a time of uncertainty what is a fashionista to do? No one wants to wear heavy wool sweaters everyday. So I came up with a few essentials that are needed to survive this fickle weather.

 

 

Everything in this picture every woman already has in her closet. However it is easy to over look these basic items to shop for more of the same items. Most of the items I picked are good for layering. SPRINTER is most definitely layering weather because you never know what the weather holds. Throwing an open front cardigan with a belt cinches your waist and gives you a pulled together look. The open front cardigan and belt can be wore everywhere. From the office to happy hour.  Again because this all about layering if your office is too warm then you can take the cardigan off and keep the belt around your waist still giving you a cinched feel. The messenger bad was chosen because it is big enough to carry around your layers.

 

The fleece lined tights can double as leggings if they aren't sheer. Wear under a dress or under a tunic length top. I personally feel pants are constricting and I prefer to wear tights and leggings most of the year. So these are great for those of you who feel the same way. Traditional tights offer little protection against blowing winds but these are amazing for staying warm. Again in Cleveland, the wind chill can make your life miserable. These tights are Cleveland test. Cleveland approved.

 

The parka is an essential if you live in cold climates. But this one has a hood with is SO IMPORTANT!!!! What if you are going out and your hair is done? The weather is cold and the winding is blowing but you don't want to mess your hair up? Hooded coat!!!!!! I love love love hoods on coats!!!!! The hood will keep your head warm and hair intact.

 

Finally, the slouchy beanie for one of those days when you don't want to do your hair. The slouchy beanie is a year round closet staple. You see these most of time during winter, Sprinter, and spring. So there you have it my essentials for Sprinter. I hope you enjoy.

 

I look up, He looks down!
