We’ve had a horrible spring so far, as it’s often the case in Chicago, so rare sunny days are such a treat! I am a huge fan of bright colors year round! And a sunny day certainly calls for more brightness despite of how cold it still is. In the past, I found it somewhat challenging on occasion to incorporate really bright, summer colors into my cold weather outfits. I noticed that a heavier weave mini skirt with opaque tights (a must with any mini skirt, in my opinion!) adds enough “warmth” to the outfit. Pairing it with a cropped orange leather jacket elevates it to the right brightness level for me. And a yellow bag adds an additional dose of sunshine to the whole look.

So there – a bright spring look on a cold but sunny day! Who wouldn’t shed their winter blues looking at this?

Enjoy your spring!
