Spring style dilemmas...

My style in the winter is dress, thick tights/leggings/boots.

What do i switch to now?

Last year I wore my winter style well into May and felt hideous. I need a a spring style, including shoes.

Help!

I am 5'11, size 12, hourglass with skinny legs.

Could do a lighter dress, tights and boots with little cardi... Or long sleeved t shirt with little cardi over and jeans...

sayboo, you sound like me. I tend to switch to jeans and tshirt on warmer days till summer comes then my uniform is a skirt, vest top and flip flops! Maybe as beachy suggested a lighter dress, with say three quarter leggins and ballet pumps? Or with 60 denier tights which arent so heavy. My issue at the moment is my coat, I wear a big padded thing which is fine with my little dresses, leggings and boots but now is getting a bit milder I look daft in a big coat. Have worn a long thickish cardi today but got a bit chilly!

How about coloured jeans? I got these from Tesco and they're lovely and bright. There's also a long thread about in-between footwear here. I have a few long shirts that I got in H&M. Nice with skinnies and pumps and cover the behind like a long cardigan would.
7/8th trousers nice with pumps or shoe-boots too.
Agree about the coat thing...I'm finding I'm wearing my mac again now but it doesn't suit all outfits so I'm on the lookout for a nice spring jacket.

Skinnies with a cropped trench coat and ballet flats?

Denim mini, thinner navy or grey opaques (or burgundy or bright pink or whatever) with your boots?

Heeled ankle boots (but not mumsy ones) instead of knee boots

Pleated skirt (lots around) with wedges or heeled ankle boots and a denim or leather jacket?

Light weight parka with skinnies and heeled ankle boots?

Narrow fitting maxi skirt with denim or biker jacket (Grunge is supposed to be in!)

Light dress, leggings, cardi and converse/ballet flats?

What I would like to know, is it naff to wear 'natural' pop socks with ballet pumps and skinnies, until the weather warms up? Confused. I live in Scotland and ballet pumps and blue feet is not a good look!

Rassy I managed to find some nude micro fishnet popsocks and they are a lifesaver. (am in Jockland too) .
