My absolute favorite piece of spring clothing is Capri pants!

I am perfectly happy wearing a Capri March through September! I hate my legs, as many women do, and refuse to torture the world by slipping on a pair of shorts as the weather warms up. But I am NOT going to wear long pants all year ‘round. When the Capri started making its comeback a few years ago, I was in hog heaven! I just love the versatility. I am a preschool teacher and work in a field where I am up and down, moving all around, have to dress casual and comfy, have to be able to handle spills and splats, but I’d like to look kind of hip doing it, too. With a Capri at work, I can roll up my favorite jean and wear it with a t-shirt or tank and flip-flops or deck shoes. For out and about or running errands on my day off, I can wear a khaki Capri and throw a short denim coat over my top with a cute pair of sandals. Or if I’m heading out to dinner and a movie with my hubby, I can put on a nicer quality black Capri with a button up dress shirt and a cute heel. And even when I am just cleaning my house, I can throw on my scruffy ACDC t-shirt and my old paint and grease covered carpenter jeans that I’ve cut off at mid-calf and still stay cool in the warmer weather. I just love a great Capri!

Capri’s Are My Favorite

Capri’s are one of my favorite articles of spring clothing. They are not quite shorts but not full length pants either. They’re great after a long winter and your still feeling a bit too pale to break out the short. They are super versatile. You can dress them up with some heeled mules, or dress them down with your favorite pair of kicks. You can wear them with pearls and a cardigan or with your favorite hoodie. You can be 5 to 65 years old and they are always age appropriate. I have a pair in almost every color and am sad when I have to put them away for winter and so happy to see them again because then I can be sure it’s spring.

Planning Your Spring Wardrobe

Spring is a wonderful time for fashion, out come all the clothes that were put away in the cold weather, short sleeves, wispy skirts, and sandals, what fun! When planning you spring wardrobe, begin with what you have. Buy pieces that will create outfits with clothes you already have. Buy a dressy T-shirt in this year’s style to go with last year’s skirt. Purchase a new pair of capris that will go with blouses and tops you already have. Treat yourself to a new pair of sandals, nothing pumps up an outfit more than snazzy shoes. And don’t forget accessories. An old outfit can look new with a chunky necklace, dangling earrings or a belt.
