Living in New York City is such an amazing place to call home. From the culture, to the fashion and food; you name it, NYC has it all. However, when it comes to the weather, the west coast seems to be the winner. During the long winter months, New Yorkers suddenly begin to feel the cons outweighing the pros. Being that it is officially mid-March and the daily forecast has barely hit 40 degrees can be quite depressing. While others across the country are delving into their new spring purchases, New Yorkers are still wearing their winter albeit lighter winter coats. Meanwhile on the west coast, people are “suffering” from 80 degree weather and complaining that it’s simply “too hot” for this time of year. Let’s explore some spring looks from coast to coast no matter what the thermostat reads.
