Thanks to climate change and the changing seasons, you may not be sure what to do about your ensemble this month. I get it. We’re in Central New York; it snows until Mother’s Day every single year. But there is the odd 60-degree day when we all strip off our layers and ditch work to eat lunch and read a book in the park. And then the next day we’re buried in the snow again. It’s confusing and kind of annoying, especially when you’vefinally dragged your spring dresses out only to have to wear your parka again.
To beat the heat, or lack thereof, you’ve got to be prepared for just about anything. We experience all four seasons in one day after all. So this is what I’ll be wearing in March.
Sometimes I wear a hat because my ears are freezing, sometimes it’s because my hair is dirty, and sometimes it’s because I have no idea how to dress based on what my weather app is telling me. Needless to say, I always have a plain black beanie with me just in case. It goes with pretty much anything so if I feel cold or just want to look laid back, I’m covered.
You never know when you’ll step outside to rain or slush, so it’s better safe than sorry in my opinion. I have some cute Chelsea-style rubber boots that don’t look like straight-up rain boots but still serve the same function. Now I spend less time wondering if my beloved leather boots will get ruined.
Ok, maybe not everything. But I’ve been missing my spring clothes more and more lately so my solution is obviously to layer. If a turtleneck looks good under a tank dress, I’m wearing it. It makes me think that I’m transitioning into spring but I still feel warm and cozy.
Most of the time I wear a scarf as a blanket around the office because it’s so cold in there. But for days when I get out of work and realize it’s suddenly turned into a snowstorm, now I have a shield for my face. Wrap it around a few times and you’re good to go. Plus my favorite, an army green and cream scarf, mixes my all-black outfits up by adding a little color.
