To end “Get Well Guest Post” week we have a post from one of my besties Beth from Pretty-In-Plus I met her during Viva Fat Vegas and I love this girl to death. We get along great and have a ton in common. She is always a blast both to hang out with and just to read her blog. I love Beth most because she is genuine, adorkable in the best way and absolutely fabulous! Beth is superb when it comes to layering in looks which is totally necessary in Canada where she and her hubby who I also have had the pleasure of meeting and gambling with, live and today she is going to share with us her layering tips!

Warming Up For Spring With Layers

by Beth from Pretty-In-Plus

I am so ready for spring. How about you? Unfortunately I live in Canada and there’s two feet of snow on the ground, so I’m not ready to even think about parting with my snugly sweaters just yet. But if like me you’re desperate to bring some fresh spring colours and prints into your wardrobe right now without dying of cold, then don’t fret, because here’s my list of layers you could start wearing now and keep wearing right into summer.

1. Okay I have to admit; I’m a bit of a scarf addict. Not only can a scarf keep your neck warm as we say goodbye to the winter months, but it’s a cheap and easy way to work some of those new spring shades into your outfits. I love this nude one from Dorothy Perkins, the tiny sequins give it such an understated glamour that it could make you look like a movie star even if you were just wearing jeans and a white t-shirt.

2. It might be a little early to start wearing your favourite floral prints, but if you’d like to give a friendly nod to spring flowers, you could always pin a cute flower to your winter coat. This one from Torrid also doubles as a hairclip and I can just picture myself wearing this in my hair while sitting on the beach in August.

3. If you’re dying to wear your summer dresses a month or two early then tights are your best friend. If you want to keep the colours fresh and light for spring then check out we love colors, because you can’t beat them for selection. I’m really digging their pale sorbet shades right now.

4. This lacy ruffle vest from Torrid is so romantic, don’t you think? And in that neutral colour you could pair it with absolutely anything; right now it would look so cute peeking out from beneath an unbuttoned winter coat, in the summer it would look beautiful paired with a pretty maxi dress. The possibilities are endless!

5. Depending on where you live it could be another month or two before the weather is cool enough for a denim jacket, but this pale one from Yours Clothing is the perfect light layer for when that time comes. It goes with every other piece I’ve listed and it will last you right through the summer as the perfect accompaniment to a sun-dress.

What things are you most looking forward to wearing when the weather warms up?
