Hey ladies! Today I have the pleasure of introducing the lovely Madeline today on our March of the Bloggers line up. The thing I love most about her blog is that it's all about being a girl on a budget, something that we take to heart here at Frock Stock! She's got an adorable sense of style and is here to show you how to easily go from your winter wardrobe to your new spring styles!

Transitioning to Spring Fashion

There are a few things in life that I have trouble waiting for: Christmas morning, my monthly Birchbox delivery and the much-anticipated arrival of spring fashion! Bring on the sundresses, sandals and bare legs! 

It’s always around early March ― during the last dreary month of winter ― that I start dreaming about spring clothing. 

Sadly, if you live in a chilly climate like Washington, DC, there’s no way you’ll be showing any skin during the month of March. 

Or is there?

Do we really have to wait for the first day of spring to start wearing tank tops and breezy maxi skirts? I recently purchased a few spring pieces that I’m anxious [read: dying] to wear. I thought it would be fun to take 3 classic spring pieces and show how you can warm them up for the final weeks of winter. The key: it’s all about layering!

The Sundress
Make a sundress work in cold weather by adding a jean jacket, thick socks and a pair of boots. Bonus tip: apply self-tanner to those pasty knees! (I like Nivea Sun-Kissed Gradual Tan Moisturizer)

Dress – Express // Jean Jacket – Target // Boots – from Nashville, TN! // Socks – DSW

The Maxi Skirt
I’m looking forward to wearing sandals and a tank top with this maxi skirt, but in the mean time, a chambray shirt, infinity scarf and closed-toe flats make it March-appropriate. 

Skirt – Express (on sale!) // Chambray Skirt – Express // Scarf – Charlotte Russe // Ruffled Flats – Steve Madden

The Tank Top
Yes, that’s a long sleeve tee under a tank top! I’m quite pleased with the sneakiness of this outfit. Plus, covering up your arms means you can get away with showing a little ankle.

  

Tank Top – Forever 21 // Tee – H&M // Cropped Chinos – Old Navy // Purse – Thrifted  // Necklace – LOFT

Yesterday in Chicago it went to 68F after being 29F the day before! I didn't know what to do with my wardrobe... this post is definitely a big help since it's going to be warm again today. Oh Chicago, your weather is crazy!

Let Madeline know which of her styles you loved best in the comment box! Every comment gives you a chance at free jewelry... And don't forget to visit her blog, too! Thank you Madeline for your lovely post!

That's right! Frock Stock now has a sale section and we've reduced our winter sweaters. There're still three months left of winter to enjoy these highly affordable, adorable items (five if you live somewhere cold like us in Chicago). Hurry before they're all gone!

Buy these items in our new sales section!

PS if you haven't checked it out already, go see our new plus size section as well!

Plus Size is Coming! + Frock Stock Site Updates

Our pre-order of Plus Size items we showed you a few posts ago is still set to go for January-February, but we've found another item we love, meaning Plus Size is coming to Frock Stock sooner than we thought! This top is set to arrive next week.

'

This charming Strawberry Daiquiri top will go perfectly with vintage-looking skirts or skinny jeans.

Sizes will be in juniors 1X, 2X, and 3X. Exact measurements will be available once we receive the top.

New Updates

-Now that I've graduated with my Bachelor's in Music (hurray!) lots of changes are coming to Frock Stock. Our Size Guide, Shipping, Return Policy and Blogger's Discount pages have all been updated recently.

-New Jewelry has been added to the New Arrival page and I am so excited by how beautiful some of these pieces are. More will come in the next few days, along with dresses, and the plus size top above.

Please let us know what you think about the plus top and new jewelry items! Your opinions help us decide what to stock.
