It's about that time...you're sick of sweaters and boots, but aren't quite ready for spring dresses and sandals just yet. I've always found dressing for spring transition time to be a little annoying because I tend to just wear a lot of the same things for a few weeks. So I like to mix things up as much as I can with different layering, accessories, and shoes. I plan to break down exactly how I like to do that in another post, but today I thought I would share my most worn pieces that I tend to wear during these 50-60ish degree days, before the full spring wardrobe can make its way into rotation.

1. Trenchcoat

I've mentioned before that this might be the most worn outerwear piece for a southerner, as I wear mine through fall, a good bit of warmer winter days, and early spring. I've had the same one (pretty similar to this one) since 2016, it wasn't really much of an investment buy because I did not expect to be wearing it as much as I do! Although I also got this pink faux suede one this fall that I have gotten a lot of use out of as well.

2. Stripe tees

I think we all know how deep my love runs of stripe tees. I've probably owned 8 or 9 different ones in the last few years varying in color, sleeve and neckline details, even some with mixed stripes. Although I love to wear them through summer, I think they are most worn during both spring and fall. I have always thought they are so versatile and are easily my favorite basic wardrobe item. I prefer a 3/4 or long sleeve structured boatneck style. But there are plenty of great short sleeve options with different necklines out there as well.

3. Tissue turtlenecks

Similar to stripe tees, I can't get enough of the versatility these layering turtlenecks have. I did not start wearing these until this year, but I'm always coming up with new ideas for how to style these thin t-shirts. I recently posted this Instagram with a few different ways to style some of them, but my favorite way to wear them during this time is with jeans, ankle boots, and a scarf of some sort draped over the shoulders.

4. Medium wash denim

I think this kind of goes without saying, jeans are great. But I do start to wear my medium or lighter wash jeans over a darker wash during this time of year. And as I've mentioned a few times lately, the fit on Madewell denim has basically changed my life. Although I am linking just the styles I have really liked to wear, regardless of the wash. For sizing reference: I'm 5'2" and wear a size 23 in Madwell jeans that never need to be hemmed. My other favorite brands are AG and J Brand that I can usually only find in a 24.

5. White denim

Same as above, this doesn't exactly require much explanation. But I have never really been a "white denim in the winter" kinda girl. So I slowly work the white jeans back into rotation during this time of year. As much I love Madewell's blue denim, I have yet to try their white denim because I absolutely love this pair that James Jeans sent to me about 2 years ago.

6. Fun flats

My favorite way to break up a lot of the same pieces I wear during "not yet spring" time is trading boots for fun flats, like these backless loafers I have in 2 colors! I also have been really into fashion sneakers lately and have been wearing this ruffled pair and these classics to work a lot lately.

7. Scarves
