When the temperatures dip below freezing, wearing something soft and colorful can buoy your spirits. And wearing pretty, feminine florals is the perfect way to bring some spring into your step.

This modern floral sweater by Double H was the start of today’s outfit. Blog14
It’s different in that the design is printed on the fabric rather than woven into the sweater. I could have worn it with jeans and boots, but the denim skirt from L.L. Bean was just as comfortable and a little more work appropriate (if you need that kind of thing).Blog13 Denim skirts are great because just like jeans, you can wear them with almost any kind of blouse, top or sweater. They can be dressed up and down.

I’m not usually don’t wear hats, but I decided to go out of my comfort zone and give it a try. And at only $3.00, it was a cute find. Blog15 The yellow Nine West handbag came from one of the outlet locations and was a steal for just $1.00. The sunny yellow color reminded me of daffodils.

My favorite part of this outfit has got to be the boots! Blog16 I found them when shopping with my sister and we always debate whether something is worth buying when it is more than we expected it to be. At only $9.97, it was more than I typically pay, but I knew they were worth more than that. Upon getting home and researching the brand – Matisse – I found they would have been about $120 when new, so I call that a great deal!

When the days are cold and dark, use your wardrobe to lift your spirits. Wear a floral pattern or a bright color until the days get longer and the Mother Nature brings forth her own flowers and greenery to the world.
