Now that our calendars are finally synced with Spring, it doesn't always mean that the weather itself will cooperate here in the Northeast... All of the outfits featured below can we worn with or without tights and layered with cardigans and scarves. Because, let's face it...weather is predictably unpredictable.

Much to my chagrin, it's still sweater weather. And the temps haven't risen above freezing in the last few days. Such is life in the Northeast in the winter.
The best part of the cold weather, and yes, there is a best part, are the fun, fuzzy sweaters that we get to wear. Luckily, sweaters come in a variety of styles, shapes etc and we can wear them any way we'd like. To transition into Spring, because my fingers are crossed that it is still actually coming, I've selected sweaters to pair with skirts and, for now, tights.
Style Tip 1: Mix prints.
Style Tip 2: Layer On.

MICHELLE: Settled in Beacon, NY by way of Rochester and Brooklyn. I opened a consignment shop and gallery called Blackbird Attic in April of 2010 and I'm still goin'. I make soap from scratch and try to pretend I am crafty and can dress well, although I hand off a lot of projects to my husband and I'd be okay living in pajamas.
ALLIE: I’m a sucker for a good sale and my credit card limit has seen better days.I love styling and putting outfits together and I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to spend a million to look like a million. You’ll find me most days wandering around my town, sipping a Chai and day dreaming about writing for a living.
