The holidays are over and suddenly all the stores are fill up with spring attire. I know for many who live in those dreamy places where Winter is pretty warm and dazzling, the hints of Spring in the shops is probably pretty welcome. But for many of us, we are still plagued with a couple more months of winter and usually these are the coldest months. It used to be a huge pet peeve, seeing all the Spring stuff flood in – but now it’s sorta fun. I’m a buy now wear now sorta shopper, especially when it comes to myself. So when the shops start selling Spring stuff, a good two months (or more) ahead of the proper weather, I try to only buy items we can wear now and later. Here are a few outfits I put together, showing how you can style something to wear NOW and LATER…
