5 Easy Tips To Bring A Little “Spring” Into Your January Fashion Wardrobe

I’ve got a fashion problem that I think is pretty relatable. And even if it’s not, it’s VERY important as far as this blog post is concerned, so stay with me. Here it is: We wait all summer to wear our Fall/Winter sweaters so the second the weather hits below 60 degrees it’s time to bundle the heck up in the coziest of outfits. We wear these sweaters, scarves, coats (you name it), with utter joy and excitement… until now. Hello, January. We’re officially halfway through this very cold weather nonsense and at this point, we’ve worn just about every sweater we can find in our closets. And frankly, they’re just not feeling as cute or cozy as they did that first day we put them on.

If you relate to this at all, I have some bad news and some good news. The bad news is that it IS still winter and weather-conducive outfits are a must. But the good news is that the end is in sight (at least here in LA), and we’re dressing for it. We partnered with Nordstrom to give you easy tips and inspiration on how to revamp your current wardrobe in a way that makes it feel like it’s *almost* warm outside, and spring is just around the corner.

Let’s start by curing your winter blues with some spring blues… you’ll see what I mean.

1. Add a Bright, Springy Color in an Unexpected Way

This tip might not seem revolutionary to you yet, but let me further explain. It’s less about the color and more about how you incorporate it. Blue has always been one of my favorite colors, and I kicked it up a notch with this bright piece. But instead of having it show up in a sundress or sandals, it’s in a beret which is undeniably a winter accessory. My point is you can add a little pop of color in your scarf, winter boots, or even ear muffs (if you’re really cold) to make you feel just a little closer to spring. People have been telling me that berets are in and I can’t wait to utilize this guy to make my wardrobe at least 17% more on trend in 2020. My 23 year old employee wore one the other day, so I *know* berets are cool.

Also, please note that this blue isn’t just coming outta left field. The blues are subtly and strategically incorporated in the flannel under my white sweater, which I’d be lying if I said I perfectly color-matched without the help of my best friend, Suzanne. So here’s the HOT TIP: It’s easier to add a bright color like this when you use your layers to tie it all together. Plus, it’s probably cold (maybe even FREEZING) where you are which means you should be wearing layers. I would never let you walk out of the house without them.

2. Don’t Shy Away From a Bold, Large Scale Print

How could I call this an Emily Henderson fashion post if I didn’t include at least ONE striped article of clothing?? The answer is I couldn’t (and hopefully you like that kind of thing because this is stripe 1 of 3). Okay, let’s break this down a bit. This look would be a bit boring if there wasn’t a bold pattern happening in the sweater. Large scale patterns are the easiest way to inject dimension into your outfit and make it POP without the risk of adding a crazy color. Now that we’ve established the importance of the sweater, let’s chat accessories.

I’m newly dabbling in this headband trend (thanks to Sara who did it incredibly well in our Holiday Outfit post). I’ve realized it’s the greatest way to dress up a basic ponytail so it looks like I actually tried, which is always nice. I highly recommend this one if you’re in the market.

When it comes to layering jewelry, I was lost. I usually wear a rotation of the same pieces. But luckily I have my friend Suzanne conveniently located next door to be my guide (and to provide her house for say, this fashion shoot). She helped me layer these necklaces and bracelets and I could not be more into how it looks.

3. Keep the Sweater, Lose the Boots

If you haven’t noticed, I’ve worn some form of snakeskin print shoe in every outfit thus far and at this point, I’m basically the Flo (Progressive Insurance woman) of snakeskin print. I’m just really into it recently. The only difference is that no one pays me to talk exclusively about snakeskin shoes. I just do it anyway. There are only two more things I’ll say about why they’re all so good and then I’ll stop – I promise. 1.) They truly are a neutral and go with everything, and 2.) The pattern spices up Every. Single. Outfit. And does it WELL.

For those of you who are STILL not convinced, I’ll shift to the sneaker trend in general. It’s no secret that sneakers are awesome everyday shoes and you can find them in a variety of different colors prints and patterns. I just LOVE these snakeskin ones (ok, now I’m doing talking about snake skin). Here’s the HOT TIP: If you’re bored with your winter boots, it’s easy to take your go-to sweater-jean-boot combo and spice it up to make it sweater–jean–sneaker. It’s much more spring-appropriate plus I hear it’s what the cool kids are wearing these days. Let those ankles breath, folks.

4. Throw a Sweater Over a Dress (or a “Brian Button-Down”)

There’s a good hack here, guys. It’s real easy to put a sweater over a dress OR a big button-down shirt. The dress/sweater combo can be a hard one to nail for me because it’s hard to find the right “drapey sweater/dress” combo. But these two were perfect and I highly recommend. Now I do have a secret dress hack and it’s called the “rob something from Brian’s closet” that I’ve used once or twice before. But if you don’t have a “Brian’s closet” then this dress is super cute.

5. Add a Lacy, Victorian Collar Under Your Winter Sweater

A part of me sometimes feels like an old victorian lady, and I really do like to let that shine. Unfortunately, this old woman look is surprisingly much harder to achieve in full when you’re dressing for warmth, BUT that won’t stop me from letting my little victorian collar pop out of my sweater. Speaking of, this sweater is Madewell and it’s VERY GOOD. I love the color of it, everyone at the shoot said it was “hip,” and I like looking hip

Before we wrap this up, I’d like to call attention to my bedazzled wrist, which has been denied the spotlight it so deserves. I struggle with layering bracelets in the same way that I do with necklaces (of course) but let me say I DIDN’T EVEN NEED SUZANNE’S HELP WITH THESE. That’s because these guys come in a set (not because I figured it out on my own, obviously). The set is so cute and goes with just about anything you can dream of putting on your body.

I hope you’re feeling inspired (and warmer) now that we’ve made it to the end. Enjoy your (hopefully long) weekend and come back tomorrow to read about more products and reads we’re into this week in The Link Up. See you then xx
