From Suzanne Bell: Time To Layer Up - California Style

Out here in California, early spring dressing is all about layers. Temps can range anywhere from 50 degrees early morning to 80 degrees mid-afternoon, so unless you want to perform and outfit change three times a day, you need to layer things up!

During this season of spring transition my key pieces are:

• Booties or ballet flats
• Short sleeve tees and tanks (for when it hits high 70’s)
• I swap out my sweaters for lightweight jackets; denim, leather and lightweight tweed
• Skirts and lightweight denim
• Dresses/maxidresses (I bring out last years spring styles)
• Lightweight scarves (for early morning chill)

Now don’t get me wrong, I LOVE our weather out here and as long as you can figure out how to layer, you are in great shape all day long!

The key here is being able to strip layers down as temperatures rise during the day.

Here’s a peek into my Monday...pop on over to AskSuzanneBell for more on California spring dressing and loads of outfit inspiration, all on the blog!

About Suzanne:

I am Suzanne… Mom, Wife, Realtor at Alain Pinel Realtors in Los Altos and Author of my style blog Ask Suzanne Bell.

A sucker for a Peet’s Carmel Latte, I love yoga and long talks over coffee with friends. I love to travel – trolling consignment shops, New York flea markets and Antique Stores. And as a retired Fashion Executive of Nordstrom Inc., I love to talk “shop.”

I believe that personal style goes way beyond what you wear and can be had by anyone, at any age, on any budget. I believe that a fabulous pair of shoes and lipgloss can instantly change your mood! I believe that Ebay was one of the best sites created to help us reuse and recycle fashion.

Style surrounds us and all that we do, everyday. Why not have some fun with it? I know I will learn a thing or two along this journey and hope you do as well! Thank you for joining me along the way!

XOXO Suzanne
