What to wear when you are sick of winter?

Are you sick of winter? We are, and there’s hardly been any snow yet!

It’s that time of year when JoJami and I look out our windows into the cold gray landscape and think, “We’ve got to get out of these heavy, dull winter clothes, or we’re going to suffocate.”

So, what does one wear to feel happy and alive, when it’s still freezing out there, and wearing bare sleeves and bare legs would look absolutely ridiculous?

Color… for one… something lightweight, but not silly thin.. and sleeves, preferably…. if you can find them!!! ( near impossible these days)

Enter Spring’s new bright, bold and graphic jersey shift dresses. Wow, did we get excited when we saw these online!  They’re bursting with color, are in fun happy prints, and they have sleeves..yes!

Never mind that they’re showing them worn with bare legs and sandals. Just throw on a pair of dark tights and cute flats and you’ll be good to go.

And they’re so comfy…… the perfect thing to wear when you’re still working on shedding those few extra pounds left over from Christmas, so you can be ready for bathing suit season.  Here are a few of our favorite picks from Nordstroms:

Paisley gone crazy: A modern update on an old fashioned pattern makes traditional look hip. Brown with white is an ideal color combo to transition into Spring. (Nordstroms)
Edgy: Black and electric blue give this one cool sharpness. You don’t need jewelry. This dress does all the talking.(Nordstroms)
Caribbean: Can’t you just feel that tropical breeze? This one reminds us of an island getaway at March break! (Nordstroms)
Arsty: Looks like someone took the kid’s Spiro Giro to it. The rounded neckline is flattering to all. Graphic and gorgeous! (Nordstroms)
60′s vibe: Never say never! It’s short, but if you have long shapely legs this Tory Burch dress worn with thick, dark tights and flats or cute boots, will make you look  chic.(Nordstroms)
On the Border: Beautiful Bordering at the V neckline, sleeves and hem give this an extra punch. For those who don’t like boatnecks, the V is a great option. It makes any neck look longer and your body look leaner!(Nordstroms)
