Adding a cardigan over your shoulders with a maxi dress and sneakers is a casual, chic transitional spring outfit. Plus, if you happen to get cold, you have a second layer on hand with you. One of my favorite styles of maxi dresses to do this with is drop waist maxi dresses! I shared in a previous post some that I like here.
