“Put on your pretty frilly dresses and work it out with the tights, and throw on the big sweater. Just start layering up into the looks that you want to eventually get into,” Nanette advises. “I was honestly like, I don’t know if I can pull this off, but it works! Gray tights make everything cooler I think. I think if I weren’t on my way to Bloomie’s, I would have thrown a big wooly sweater over this pretty, springy dress.”

“I think you just want to start feeling [that Spring warmth], even if the weather isn’t cooperating,” she continued. “It’s gonna have to happen sooner or later, so you gotta just push it.”
