The Spring Style Guide For Chilly Climates

By now, you're totally ready to break up with winter and go zero to 100 with spring (does anyone even remember a world without tights?). But, the reality is that Mother Nature's likely going to strike with a few more cold spells before it's really over. Before you spiral back into your default winter wares of all-black everything, take a few cues from Liz Adams, the style and brains behind Sequins & Stripes. 

Based in Chicago, where winter can drag on for more than half the year, Adams has become a master at dressing for spring even though the temps may be playing catch-up. Not only does she have all sorts of inventive sartorial tricks to keep her style unhampered by the much-needed layers, she also proves that it's never too early to bust out those springy palettes we're salivating for. Ahead, Adams shows us three season-shifting looks featuring the latest from Old Navy.
