Spring Has Sprung… and So Have My Hormones
Or: Why I’m Wearing a Tank Top, a Cardigan, and Regret All at Once
Ah, spring. That magical time of year when the flowers bloom, the birds chirp, and your wardrobe starts looking like you dressed in the dark during a hot flash.
One minute it’s sunny and 78, the next it’s hailing sideways and you’re seriously considering bringing back those fur-lined Crocs. (Don’t.) The only thing more unpredictable than spring weather is my mood when I can’t find a top that works for 60-degree mornings and 85-degree afternoons. Honestly, my closet is just as confused as my hormones—and neither of us knows what we’re doing.
Let’s be real: spring is the season of layering not because it’s trendy (which it is), but because we’re all playing fashion roulette. You think it’s warm enough for a cute sundress… until you’re in the grocery store freezer aisle freezing like a stylish popsicle.
So what’s the secret? Transitional pieces. AKA the wardrobe MVPs that make you look put together even when you’re sweating and shivering within the same hour.
Here’s what I swear by this season:
1. Lightweight Cardigans + Shackets:
Throw ‘em on. Take ‘em off. Tie them around your waist like you’re in a 90s rom-com. These are the ultimate “I have no idea what the weather’s doing” fashion fix.
2. Midi Dresses:
Not too short, not too long—just right. Pair with sneakers and a denim jacket and you’re good whether the sun’s out or hiding.
3. Flowy Tops + Jeans:
Let’s normalize being comfy AND cute. Breathable fabrics are key, especially when your body temp is doing the cha-cha slide.
4. Jumpsuits:
The one-and-done hero. Add a layer, add a belt, add some sass. You look like you tried—when really, you just didn’t want to match separates.
5. Accessories That Work Overtime:
Hats for sun, sunnies for vibes, and a crossbody to hold the 3 layers you’ll inevitably remove.
Because here’s the truth: spring is moody, and honestly, so are we. One day you’re frolicking through a flower field (okay, walking to Target), the next you’re wrapped in a blanket cursing the wind and debating soup for lunch.
And if you’re thinking, “Is it me, or is spring getting hotter/colder/weirder every year?” It’s not just you. It’s the planet… and also your hormones. Welcome to womanhood, where your body thermostat and Mother Nature are in a constant battle for power.
So whether you’re a sun-chasing goddess, a moody-layered queen, or someone just trying to figure out what the heck to wear every day—just know: we’ve got the goods to get you through it. Cute, comfy, and vibe-checked.
Now excuse me while I go change for the third time today… probably into a jumpsuit and some emotional stability :)
Love,
HB :)
