Do you hear those birds chirping on the way to class? See the flowers blooming throughout campus? Feel the sun beaming through the trees?
If you live in Florida, you should’ve answered a resounding yes to all of those questions. All of these signs point to the glorious fact that it’s officially springtime in the Sunshine State. Though there’s no melting snow or icicles to vividly signal the start of spring like in the northern states, this is still an exciting time of year for Floridians. We can officially trade in those heavy coats and fuzzy sweaters used for fighting the dreadful 50-degree weather and bring out those floral sundresses and breezy skater skirts for the sunny days ahead.
More importantly, it’s time to trade in those chunky knit scarves for their more lightweight counterparts, just as this Fashionista did. Give that one eye-catching bib necklace a break and try wearing a statement scarf to add a little flair to a button-down shirt instead. The key is finding one in a lightweight material like polyester so you’re not sweating by midday. This Fashionista allowed her scarf to do the talking as the focal point of this outfit. By choosing a bold red scarf with small floral details that accent the blue hue of her chambray shirt, she matched without being too “matchy.” This playful color combination livened up her dark jeans and shoes for a chic daytime look. The fact that she had both a gold watch and gold studs and buckles on her booties tied the outfit together as a whole.
Whether you go tribal, striped, floral or plain, there’s a lot of experimenting to be done with scarves. Try wearing a tribal print one with a crop top and high-waisted shorts if you’re heading to class. Spice up that plain white dress by throwing on a nautical striped scarf and swiping on some deep red lipstick for a dinner date with your gal pals. Decorative, lightweight scarves are essential for every Fashionista’s springtime wardrobe, so snag a few while you can!
How To: Start off with a lightweight chambray button-down and an equally lightweight scarf in a bold pattern. Add a pair of dark wash jeans and embellished booties, and you’ve landed a versatile outfit suitable for sitting through class, eating lunch in downtown or grabbing coffee with friends around town.
