Over the course of the past week, we went from below freezing to 80 degrees. The only thing more Minnesotan than temperature whiplash is a blizzard in April\u2026which is why I haven\u2019t packed away my sweaters just yet. Since I\u2019ve been dressing for all seasons over the course of the past month, the outfits I\u2019m sharing today are all about layers and transitioning from morning to noon to night.<\/p>\n

A go-to item I tend to style around during this winter to spring transitional period may not be exactly what you would have guessed! Jean shorts are actually my favorite item to play around with this time of year.<\/p>\n

Here are five of my favorite looks that are super easy to recreate and layer on and off as the weather changes throughout the day in the spring.<\/p>\n

Psst. If you didn\u2019t see it before, take a peek at last month\u2019s outfits post<\/a>, featuring six of my favorite looks, all styled around mom jeans.<\/em><\/p>\n

Outfit 1: Navy blazer and ballet flats (shown above)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I had a version of this outfit pinned last spring but never got around to trying it out myself. Joe has a plethora of old blazers he has replaced over the years, which happened to make for that perfect \u201cIs she wearing pants?\u201d length.<\/p>\n

Outfit 2: Turtleneck and sandals<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This turtleneck comes up again and again when I round up my favorite outfit staples. It is long enough to wear with leggings, so why not put some shorts underneath? I love the look with my favorite new sandals from Marion Parke.<\/p>\n

Outfit 3: Layered tops and boots<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve started working in the garden<\/a> this spring and have always loved the idea of wearing rugged boots with day clothing. While I\u2019d also try wearing these with a short dress with a lot of volume in the skirt, they work with shorts too! I like throwing these Bogs on with whatever I\u2019m wearing now that I can get outside and prune for twenty minutes when I need a break from work.<\/p>\n

Outfit 4: Cozy cardigan and slip-ons<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I like my cardigans long enough to cover my bum, and this thrifted Irish wool cardi is my favorite \u201changing around the house\u201d sweater. You can extend the life of your winter cardigans when pairing with shorts, so if you\u2019re a Northerner, maybe keep one or two sweaters out of storage until Memorial Day!<\/p>\n

Outfit 5: Puff sleeve top and a long jacket<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cI want a girl with a short skirt and a looooooooooooooooooooong JACKET!\u201d Bonus points if you remember that song<\/a>, because it\u2019s the thing that inspired this outfit. I paired my long jacket with shorts, because I honestly don\u2019t own many short skirts anymore!<\/p>\n
