The Lux Mon$ter: Transitioning Your Wardrobe From Winter to Spring

I don't know where you live, but if you're in California... it's getting HOT! Punxsutawney Phil told us we had 6 more weeks of winter, which may be true in some places., but for some of us, it's already time to start transitioning into spring. This can be done with ease with a couple of wardrobe basics and pops of color.

The Cardigan

Scrumptious Sweater Cardigan, Forever21 $22.80

Style Tip: Try pastel and soft shade cardigans to bring in a bit of color to your wardrobe. Use cardigans to transition in dresses as it becomes warmer. You should probably own a couple of these as cardigans are a very versatile addition to your wardrobe and great for layering.

Colored Shoes
