La Belle Vie: Wear now, wear later
Damn it, Hanover. You certainly had me fooled. Last week I was pleasantly surprised when I returned from Miami to find that the weather here was exactly the same. I was drifting around campus in a maxi skirt with hair still wet from the shower. 84 degrees! In Hanover! In March! Who'd have thought?
Why, then, am I now bundled up in a woolen coat and gloves dashing between my apartment and the library as quickly as possible to avoid outdoor exposure? You just couldn't keep it up, could you? You give with one hand, and snatch away with the other…
Well, I refuse to be beaten. I want to wear summery clothes and I want to wear them NOW. Luckily there is a way. With a little bit of creativity and some clever layering, you can crack out your summer wardrobe now and keep working it until October, changing it up as the weather warms up. Here are some of my favorite combinations:
The Denim Short:
Wear later: with a slouchy sweater and some sandals
The Color-Pop Ankle Grazer Jeans:
cozy cashmere socks
Wear later: with wedgesand a white tee
The Strapless Dress:
sweater
Wear later: with bronzed legs and some eyeliner
The Leather Jacket:
Wear later: over a strappy summer dress and flats
The Statement Necklace:
Wear later: with a crisp white shirt and a scruffy top-knot
The Jumpsuit:
blazer
Wear Later: with an oversized cardigan and metallic sandals
