Well, another Monday is upon us.
The good news? It’s the last Monday in February. That means it’s almost March, which means it’s practically spring.
How do you like that optimism?
Around here, it doesn’t feel like spring is around the corner, but spring collections have taken over just about every store. These collections offer that glimmer of hope that someday soon(ish), it will stop snowing. Because it’s still so cold, most people don’t have an immediate need for shorts or sandals, but there’s always those transitional pieces that we can wear now and later.
I’m usually pretty good at finding pieces that transition well from one season to the next, so I was very excited to find an obnoxiously bright yellow sweater at H&M on a recent shopping trip. It’s warm enough that I can wear it on a cold February day in Toronto. I also felt like it was as perfect as my longline cardigan to bring to my work conference a couple weeks back.
This year’s spring trend: yellow. Yellow is one of the colours for spring 2015. If you don’t believe me, check out Shannon’s post about the trends we’ll be seeing this spring.
What I’m Wearing:
Sweater – H&M (Same)
Jeans – AG via Nordstrom Rack (Similar)
Scarf – Gap (Similar)
Shoes – Gap (Same)
Purse – Gap (Similar)
Necklace –Stella & Dot (Same)
What trends are you excited to wear for spring 2015?
Alissa says
Thank GOD we are almost done with February! I just don’t like this month at all and will be happy when March rolls in.
Jackie says
Right?!?!? I haaaate February, and always feel so much better when March begins!
Shoshana says
You’re absolutely right. The retail & online stores are filled with wonderful spring colors and patterns. I’m very excited. NYC has been hit hard with bad weather. I can’t wait for the buds to bloom.
Loving this knit sweater. Who says you have to wear dark, moody colors in the winter? Not me and certainly not you. You look adorable.

Jackie says
Thank you so much!! I seriously need to pretend it’s warmer, because I’m feeling way too “blah” in my dark winter clothes these days. Hope those buds start blooming soon!
Rach says
I did not realize this is the last Monday of the month! Wow, it did brighten my day a bit haha. I’m with on how it doesn’t even feel close to Spring. I hope that changes soon. What you are wearing is the perfect transitional look. It has the bright spring color but still cozy to keep you warm!

Trust me, it’s another record cold day up here, so it’s not feeling spring-y at all. I’m relying on the calendar for that optimism!
Shannon says
Yellow really is a great color to brighten your day and it looks absolutely gorgeous on you! I’m loving the pale pink with it!

Definitely appreciate your optimism while we’re experiencing a polar vortex on the east coast…but despite the cold I will definitely be incorporating colors into my wardrobe…perhaps that will attract the sun!

It’s easier to be optimistic that spring is coming soon wearing such a bright, cheery color; love it!
Maddy says
I’m with you, just counting down the days until its March and maybe the temps could reach 30. I feel like it isn’t that much to ask for haha but apparently it is! I think I’m going to wear yellow tomorrow in hopes of brightening my day.
xo, Maddy

Haha I have the SAME thought process as you- every day I wake up I’m all “k, we’re one day closer to spring”. At this point I’d be ecstatic over 40 degree weather- that way I can only wear *one* coat! And love that poppy yellow sweater!! That would instantly make me feel like spring is just around the corner. I’m so going to start pulling out my mint and pastel sweaters 😉

The colour isn’t one I would go for myself, I steer away from colours a lot, I’m just not brave enough. Having said that, I think the jumper looks great! And cosy! I also really like the muted colours you combined with it.

Jackie says
It’s all about having the confidence. I think anyone can pull off colour 🙂

I’m so happy that yellow is trendy this season! Such a warm colour! I’m in love with the sweater!
