Sarah’s Wardrobe Timeline:
- September: Sarah gets tired of sweating all the time and looks forward to fall.
- October-November: Sarah embraces the cool weather and buys fun new clothes for winter.
- December-January: Sarah copes with freezing temperatures by buying new sweaters and getting creative with layering.
- February: Sarah starts to lose interest in layering and looks forward to spring.
- Early March: Sarah starts incorporating fun spring colors and prints into the mix to tide her over until the weather warms up.
- Late March: Sarah is sick and tired of being cold, has no interest in any of her winter clothes, and starts throwing on any random outfit with little regard for how flattering or interesting it is.
Just to remind you: we are in the late March phase. This is one of those random outfits. I actually thought this outfit was kind of lame when I picked it out (but ignored that feeling due to my late March state of mind), but these photos make me think it wasn’t so bad. What do you think?
By my usual standards, it’s not terribly colorful, but I suppose there’s nothing wrong with neutrals once in awhile. And I do have a cool mix of textures/patterns with the crochet top and polka dot jeans. Plus I was comfortable. So I guess it’s not so bad! But I still don’t want it to be cold anymore. MAKE IT STOP.

I am absolutely with you on how you feel – I went through my spring/summer stuff looking for some crossover pieces, but found one and am now just dressing in classic colours until the weather brightens up (sometime in May for the UK apparently…the joy!!). I love the neutrals look – it’s absolutely something I would wear, probably with plain navy trousers/jeans in the same style, as there’s two different textures in the top and cardigan. Anyway you’ve now inspired me to check out a burgundy top I have with embellishment around the neckline that I’d normally wear in the evening, but will try for a day look – thank you : )
Glad to help with the inspiration 🙂
This looks great on you – practical and cute. I love the neckline on your top as well. And the snow can seriously LEAVE. Like, right freaking now. :p
Seriously! We’re getting another 6-10″ Sunday night. I just want to stay inside until May.
Ha! Love the Wardrobe Timeline! Definitely go through one of those myself. Where have you been hiding this little gem of a top you are wearing? I love it! Is this a purchase from a Sarah Cycle?
It’s really old and for some reason I don’t wear it much! Well, I sort of know why…the hook closure at the back of the neck never stays closed. So I can only wear it with a cardigan like this.
I think it’s beautiful! You have a tiny pop of color with your lippy. The navy and beige are so pretty together!
I absolutely love this outfit! But I am super partial to neutrals and navy.
Hahaha, your wardrobe timeline totally struck a chord with me! My outfits have been so uninspired lately – I want to wear all my dresses and skirts without tights for once! I’ve been toughing it out with my skinny jeans (rolled up…because I just HAVE to haha) with flats, but I’m not ready to wear bare legs in 30 degree temps. Gross.
I really like your polka dot jeans – they’re adorable!

It was really cold and windy when I wore this, and my ankles went almost numb walking to class. As if I needed something else to bother me, right?
I love those polka dot jeans… I think I need them in mint!!

I know, right?! I didn’t even see them in store and now I’m thinking hmm…maybe my blue ones need some mint friends!
I just got pants like this and I love them!!

I actually think this look is really cute, Sarah! This time of year I always get into a slump with my wardrobe too… bring on the warm weather!
xo, alison*elle
Move south and you won’t be cold!
Hahaha! I hear you, I have a case of the “Late Marches” too. I’m so tired of winter clothing, we’ve had a *few* nice days which makes me excited for spring, but right now it’s blizzarding like the dickens and so I’m left to angrily stomp around in my UGGs because I. Give. Up.
I really like this outfit, though–your red lips add just enough color to keep it from looking bland! Love the studding on the sweater underneath the cardigan, too!
Thanks, Chloe! Good luck with your blizzard 🙂
I LOVE your jeans but just can’t justify them in my own wardrobe. So, can you pretty please, for me, wear them all the time? K, thanks.
These are only $25 at Target! Peer pressure!
