There’s nothing like the feel of a warm spring day after a cold winter. The bright sun beams off your skin, the days get longer, and flower buds begin to bloom.
At Clegg’s Plant Nursery, though, you can feel springtime year round. From the smell of the tall magnolia trees to the bright colors popping from the aisles of assorted flowers, it feels like a tropical oasis no matter the weather.
It may be the banana plants or the palm trees, but something about being surrounded by nature fosters the fresh vibe. When the temperatures rise, it’s standard for Louisiana fashionistas to break out their bold colors, funky prints and denim shorts. But what about the beauty of early spring neutrals?
Beige jumpsuits and pastel-colored flowy dresses aren’t just for celebrities like Solange and Tracee Ellis Ross. After a winter spent binging Tidying Up with Marie Kondo, embrace the “less is more” mentality. Swap the dark colors and heavy materials for light tones and airy garments. Marry muted colors for a fresh, color-blocked look, or layer bold accessories over a simplistic outfit to make a statement.
This season, we’re going back to the basics. It’s a sunny afternoon at our local plant nursery, so we’re unleashing our inner flower children, letting the breeze blow and stopping to smell the roses—in style.
