Winter has had a good run but now it is time for a breath of fresh air. Spring is quickly approaching and with the changing seasons come changing wardrobes.

Yet it’s important to know when to wear certain articles of clothing. You don’t want to freeze, but you don’t want to wear a bulky sweater that keeps in all the heat. You need to find the right happy medium.

Finding that medium may just start with a fashionable top that will help with the transition into the new season.

Cotton cardigans are wonderful tops to wear in the spring. This lightweight top with buttons makes it easy to wear so that you stay warm opposed to hot. The thin cardigan makes it proper for wearing your summer tank tops without sacrificing freezing your arms off.

Cardigans can be found at any clothing store, from Body Central to Charlotte Russe for prices between $10 and $40.

Not only do you need an appropriate top to wear for the slightly warmer season, but you need some fun bottoms as well.

Jeans got you blue?  In order to break away from the tiresome feeling we need to bring out bottoms that will leave a more spring-like colorful impact.

Lighter colors such as baby blues, baby pinks and yellows are what we need in order to complement the new spring season.

Stores such as Target and Kohl’s hold bottoms that follow the lighter colored fashions for $20 to $40.

Just remember:  it’s okay to reconnect with your former summer clothing, but overdoing it is not beneficial. Breaking out summer clothes in spring is like jumping into a pool without seeing if the water’s cold.  You might be fine but you will freeze.  Wearing layers and spring clothing lets you adjust to the warming temperatures without turning blue.
