April Goodard

Spring is in the air, and as the days progress, we find ourselves almost entirely out of the winter zone (but since we are, New Englanders, we are sadly aware of the fact that chilly temps can pop up through the month of April). Although we might be tempted to throw on shorts and flip flops as soon as we reach 60 degrees, the ever-inconsistent weather patterns make it almost impossible to completely put away the winter wardrobe for the season. However, there are some ways that you can incorporate spring into your transitional wardrobe even on chillier days this month. Read on to discover my top picks for “springing” into the new season!

Espadrilles: These shoes can be found in pretty much every style, color, material, and height. They are also made by almost every designer out there. There are a million and one ways to wear espadrilles, from very casual and flat with leggings to more dressed up with a heel. If you wanted to go the more fancy, less affordable route, you could invest in a neutral, designer pair that will add a level to even the most basic, affordable outfits.

Layered Jewelry: Nothing screams festival season like layers upon layers of trendy jewelry pieces. Gold is still trending right now, but the popularity of mixed metals are still on the rise. My favorite way to wear layered jewelry is by layering dainty necklaces together, and keeping the other jewelry more minimal (think simple stud earrings and forgoing bracelets and watches). Rings are always cool, but again, try not to go too overboard. Sometimes, less is really more so that one can have more of an appreciation for the centerpiece of the look.

Boyfriend Denim: Spring always has me wanting to break out my boyfriend denim. Loose, relaxed fits in a light and airy wash truly do have spring written all over them. My helpful tip: don’t go too oversized with your boyfriend/girlfriend denim. The denim should fit your waist appropriately and be more fitted over your butt, but be more relaxed from the top of your thigh down. Try a cropped version for added height.

Lacey Camis: Lacey camies can add a very pretty and feminine touch to any basic jeans-and-sneakers outfit. Versatile and trendy, wear under sweaters, caridis, or alone to add some visual interest to your entire look. Camis typically come in a wide variety of colors and fabrics, so experiment and play around with different styles and textures. Lastly, definitely stock up on the ones that you find that you truly love. You can never have too many camis in too many colors, and they almost never go out of fashion.
