This weekend promises to be sweet but not only because of the visit from the Easter bunny. Sunny skies and breezy days are headed our way! The hot weather brings out the best in all of us except maybe when it comes to what to wear. In fashion there are rules we do our best to follow. But with any good rule, there is an even better exception and this extra early arrival of a heat wave is one of them.

Is it too soon to wear white? Yes it is a little too early for white but never too early for colour! Wear, yellow, green, red, pink, blue, red, purple or orange. Wear anything that isn't black, grey, or brown. Rather than the safe dark hues we have been wearing all winter, mix and match in a few pieces in bright colours - they look amazing in the sun.

Bottom half. Once temps move into the double digits, dressing can become twice as complicated. Not sure if you need to wear tights? Skip the question and opt for a Capri pant. Long enough to give you coverage but short enough to keep you cool, paired with a heel capris are the perfect transition piece. Choose cotton blends in favour of wool or lined.

Boots out shoes in. It's time to retire your heavier winter footwear in favour of lighter happier toes. Most likely your sandals are buried in a box you didn't expect to need for another month or two. Dig 'em out! Pick out a pretty pair and show of your pedicure!

Truly there is nothing like the feeling of the warm sum on your bare skin. On the first really hot weekend it'
s tempting to take it all off. Don't do it! Fight the power of the sun! After being completely bundled up for many long months, tube tops, flip flops and cut off jeans are calling you. Please don't rush the season! Exercise restraint by opting for moderate coverage. Strapless sundress - sure! Just cover up with a preppy cardigan. Tube tops - too soon! Graphic tees are a better pick. Short pants, no problem so long as they come to the knee. There is no doubt that an early summer weekend is a gift so make sure to get out and enjoy!

  1. Feel free to delete this comment afterward but I thought I ought to alert you a typo in the first sentence of the last paragraph: "...nothing like the feeling of the warm SUM on your bare skin."
