In New York it’s currently fool’s spring, which is what we call it when it’s randomly beautiful at the beginning of March. Those of us who have lived here for our whole lives though know better—this is just a temporary blissful blip. The weather is already getting a little bit colder and it won’t be reliably spring until at least Mid-March. But still, it’s fun to start pulling out our springiest pieces and seeing who we’ll be without our puffer coats and snow boots. It’s also a great time to plan ahead.
Elle Fanning recently stepped out in Los Angeles wearing an ideal transitional outfit that I’m personally excited to recreate in a couple weeks time.

Fanning wore a yellow sheer skirt with a cute fitted white cardigan, both of them with small floral embellishments. She styled the look with a white top handle bag and a pair of ballet slippers. What I love most about the look is how it’s a little warm up top and sunshine on the bottom. She combined two of the most versatile pieces from both seasons and made them work for the in between time.
Sheer skirts in general are also sometimes a little tricky too style, especially when it isn’t hot enough to opt for a tank top, which feels like it’s ideal match. Honestly though, Fanning made me realize a cardigan might look even better. It’s a little unexpected and helps the skirt feel more casual for day-to-day. It’s perfect to wear for all kinds of Spring—both fleeting and real.
