How Fashion Bloggers Style Their Spring Outfits

While March 21 marked the official start of spring, some of us are still waiting for spring to warm up. Interestingly, in climate sciences spring starts March 1. We have worn our cold season clothing like what feels forever. We hunger to wear our warm season favorite. Even when it means that we have to layer in the best ways to get a chic, winter-to-spring transition look.

Nobody wants to feel cold in spring!

Anyhow, what really matters for us fashion and style lovers is the weather. It is finely permitting us to wear our new wardrobe updates. Who hasn’t bought already the one or other super chic spring/summer trend to add to the wardrobe for the upcoming season? We associate springtime with new beginnings. To overhaul your closet for trend, fit and personal style is most likely on the top of your to-do list, if you haven’t done it yet.

For this post, some of my blogging friends and I collaborated under the lead of Suzanne Bell on bringing you more spring outfit ideas with the new trends, wearing old and new pieces, and the challenges of the changing weather pattern. Because we live in different climate zones, you will get the full breath of looks from chilly to wet to windy to nearly summer-like days.

Don’t let the right look be a random thing. Wear the right look in any dressing situation in midlife. Buy my book How to Dress for Success in Midlife.

 

Suzanne Bell: California Spring Outfits

 

Suzanne’s personal style is California Casual style. For spring, she mixes boots with a linen skirt and denim trench coat. This combination allows here to look season-appropriate without freezing her tail off.

 

Jessica Jamenga aka Jess: North Carolina Spring Look

 

Jess of Elegantly Dressed and Stylish lives in North Carolina, the Lake Norman area. I featured her and the weather of her region a while ago in how to dress for humid subtropical climate. She welcomes the new season in a vibrant floral dress  with floral circle bag, and shows how to mix patterns in a trendy way.

 

Nina Bandoni: Florida Spring Outfit

 

Nina Bandoni of Sharing a Journey lives in sunny Florida, i.e. in subtropical climate like Jess.  She wears a baby pink trench coat, nude strappy sandals and a floral umbrella for protection from spring-showers. We collaborated recently to show you how styling spring work outfits in the North vs. South or vice versa differs.

 

Nancy Baten: Dressing for the Windy Netherlands

 

The fashion blogger of Nancy’s Fashion Style lives in the Netherlands. At this time in the year, this means weather-wise cool winds from the North Sea as the ocean warms slower than the land. This situation leads to blue skies with fluffy white clouds that sometimes bring showers. They seam to be aligned like pearls on a necklace. The distance from one cloud string to the other depends on the wind shear. Given the windy shower-prone condition layering is needed to be able to adjust to stay comfortable. The light may be bright. Nancy Baten tackles the challenge in an orange knit top, cropped jacket and floral skirt. Sunnies keep her eyes safe, and sandals can take a shower. Afterwards the wind just blow dries the feet. More on the adaptation of Dutch clothes to climate.

 

Emma Peach: British Style

 

Emma Peach of Style Splash lives in the UK that also faces moderate maritime climate like the Netherlands. This climate is a typical marine Westcoast climate which requires dressing like in the Pacific Northwest of the US. Emma dons two of the new trends, neon and animal print. She opted for zebra.

 

Robin LaMonte

 

Robin LaMonte of Hello I’m 50ish looks ageless wearing the black and white trend. This outfit works 9 to 5 and play. Just switch the shoes and jewelry. Smart dressing!

 

Michele Clark

 

Michele Clark is full on trend with a look featuring polka dots. Well, maybe polka dots are an eternal classic? Who cares? A polka dot dress is always a good idea. So are yellow with white.

 

Julie Augustyn

 

Julie Augustyn of Fashion, Trends and Friends offers another tweak on this seasons trends pairing snake print and Pantone’s It color Living Coral.

 

Andrea Schwartz aka Andy

 

Andrea Schwartz aka as Andy blogs at Pearls and Pantsuits. Like Jess she is from the South. Subtropical climate also  has its chilly days. She faces them  in a casual posh look with a white denim jacket over floral Tee with jeans and slides. Like Nancy’s sandals, slides are perfect when a rain shower hits.

 

Cynthia Scurry

 

Cynthia Scurry aka Cindy of Middle Sister Style looks posh street chic in bikers, blazer, pumps, yellow T-shirt and a trendy fanny-bag. Yes, they are having a moment again. Don’t you think too that they are so much chicer this time around than they were back in the 1980s? Anyhow, isn’t this a cool look for going out with the girls?

 

My Spring Outfit Ideas for over 50

Way up North here in the Interior, the commute to and from work requires still a well insulating coat as temperatures fall below the freezing point at night. This mean in the morning we still have to scrap the ice from our car windows. There is also still snow on the ground. However, melting is strong in the afternoon. The curbs are already clean, i.e. the pumps season started!

 

 

 

 

Underneath I wore an A-line skirt with 3/4 sleeve top. And yes, I felt cold when we took the photos. In the afternoon, it was warm enough to walk outside in just the look below as temperatures climbed into the 50s (more than 10^oC).
