How To Deal with Wild Weather? Spring Sweaters

Spring can be such a tease. One minute it is 70 degrees and we are all outside in shorts and sandals then the next day the meteorologists call for snow. It is hard to keep up, and in the mid-Atlantic it can go on like this for a few more months. A few years back I went to the Preakness Stakes in mid-May and I had to wear a jacket and was still cold. You just never know what you are going to get until summer fully arrives.These fickle temperatures make it hard to get dressed in the morning and it's difficult to shop for a sundress when it is snowing and in the 30s. But we must persevere, ladies!We have your style solution at The Hive: spring sweaters! We have stacks and stacks of lightweight sweaters and more on the way. They are the perfect layering pieces and even when the temperatures rise you may need something for indoors when the air conditioning is running full blast.I personally can’t wait for the the Carolyn sweater from Emerson Frye to arrive. It will work not only in the last chilly blasts of spring, but also carry over to the fall. We were in NYC at market recently and fall collections are all about the over-sized chunky knit sweater. This Carolyn model is early on the trend and it will be perfect for the early crisp fall mornings, so come get it soon and get two seasons before everyone else clues in to what’s next.
