Transitional winter to spring outfits

Real-Life Outfit Ideas: Recent Looks I’ve Worn Out and About

February 25, 2026 No Comments

I’m back with another round up of outfits I’ve worn lately. It’s still cold here (and likely will be for a while—winter is LONG in Northern NY!) so I’ve kept it up with cozy sweaters, layered vests, jeans, and boots. I am excited to escape the cold next week—I’m heading on a beach vacation with my girls and can’t wait!

Everything I’m wearing is linked below each photo, along with similar options for any pieces that are older or no longer available (noted in the LTK description). These are affiliate links, and I’m truly so grateful for your support—it means more than you know.

Outfit Roundup: Petite-Friendly Transitional Looks

As winter slowly shifts to spring, dressing for unpredictable weather can be tricky. This month, my outfits have been all about layering and mixing cozy textures with different fabrics, and finding that perfect balance between being warm and looking cute.

The key to transitional dressing is versatility—choosing pieces that work for chilly mornings but don’t feel too heavy when the afternoon gets warm.

Layering has been my go-to strategy, whether it’s pairing a soft knit with a cute scarf or styling a warm cardigan over a simple tee. Denim remains a staple piece, and I’ve been playing with different silhouettes, from relaxed straight-leg jeans to a denim skirt and tights for a look that’s cute but still winter-appropriate.

Pops of color continue to be a favorite, with rich reds and deep greens adding warmth to a somewhat neutral palette.

I love how these outfits reflect the season’s transition—cozy but not overly bundled. As we move closer to spring, I’ll be swapping out heavier knits for lighter layers (hello linen & cotton) and experimenting with new textures (knit tanks, linen pants, and lightweight sweaters).

What’s your go-to transitional outfit this time of year?
