THE
THE WEATHER IS SO CHANGEABLE THIS TIME OF YEAR IN MINNESOTA,
IT'S NOT UNCOMMON TO SEE
TEMPERATURE SWINGS OF 30 TO 40
DEGREES IN JUST A DAY OR TWO.
ADD IN WIND, RAIN, DEEVON
SOMETIMES SNOW IN APRIL
AND LAYERS ARE KEY FOR STAYING
COMFORTABLE. STYLE EXPERT JODY
MAYERS FROM RIDGEDALE CENTER HAS
SOME BOOKS TO LAYER UP YOUR
SPRING LOOK
SPRING LOOK
,JODI.
,JODI. HI
,JODI. HI THERE. NICE TO SEE YOU. SO WHAT ARE THE BASIC RULES
TO FOLLOW?
TO FOLLOW? >> AND WE'RE TALKING LAYERS.
YEAH, IT'S HARD, ESPECIALLY
HERE IN MINNESOTA. I MEAN, WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE A 40 DEGREE SWING
JUST THIS WEEK. SO IT'S LIKE
WE'RE SO EXCITED TO EMBRACE
THOSE NEW SPRING TRENDS. BUT AT
THE SAME TIME, LIKE OUR FALL
AND WINTER STUFF IS STILL
FOREFRONT IN THE CLOSET.
>> SO WE REALLY WANT TO GIVE
EVERYBODY SOME IDEAS ON HOW
TO LAYER IN THE NEW STUFF
AND MAYBE REFRESH YOUR OLDER
PIECES JUST A LITTLE BIT,
BUT STILL BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE
WEATHER. SO WE WANT
TO START HERE WITH BROOTEN
AND HE'S GOT A LOOK ON HERE FROM
UNTUK IT AND I WANT
TO START WITH THE FACT
THAT LIGHTWEIGHT JACKETS
ARE GOING TO BE KEY RIGHT NOW
AND THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR IS
AWESOME. IT'S A LITTLE QUILTED
POLYESTER JACKET.
POLYESTER JACKET. >> IT'S SO LIGHTWEIGHT IT
LITERALLY FEELS LIKE KIND OF A
SHIRT THAT HAS JUST A LITTLE BIT
OF PADDING IN IT AND IT PACKS
LIKE A DREAM. SO WE'RE GOING
TO HAVE HIM TAKE THAT OFF. BUT I
ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE BRING
SOMETHING THAT'S EASILY PACKABLE
LIGHTWEIGHT BECAUSE YOU'RE
PROBABLY GOING TO NEED IT IN THE
MORNING . RIGHT. AND THEN WE GET
INTO THE SUNSHINE A LITTLE BIT
LATER IN THE DAY AND WE DON'T
NEED IT. SO WE'LL GET RID
OF THAT JACKET AND WE MOVE INTO
A COUPLE OF SHIRTS. AND THE KEY
HERE IS IT'S OK TO PAIR TWO
OF THE SAME. AND THE REASON
I'M SAYING THAT HE HAS TWO SHORT
SLEEVED SHIRTS ON NOW THAT IS
VERY INTERESTING.
VERY INTERESTING. >> I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE.
YEAH, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T
THINK ABOUT IT AND THEY
ARE DIFFERENT. SO YOU'RE MIXING
SOME TEXTURES, BUT HE'S GOT
A POLO UNDERNEATH, WHICH I LOVE
BECAUSE IT'S COTTON. IT'S USED
HERE AND IT FEELS GREAT. NEXT
THE SKIN AND IT ADDS SOME COLOR
UP BY HIS FACE . BUT THE LITTLE
SHIRT THAT GOES ON OVER IT IS
ONE OF THEIR PERFORMANCE SHIRTS.
IT'S KIND OF A NYLON LAST STAND.
SO IT'S SUPER COMFORTABLE.
IT'S GOT SOME NICE STRETCH TO IT
AND IT HAS A NICE LITTLE PATTERN
OR PRINT. IF YOU TALK TO POLO,
WE PUT A BELT ON THERE AND THEN
ON TOP IT ALSO HAS SOME CASUAL
BOTTOMS WHICH ARE GREAT THIS
TIME OF YEAR BECAUSE YOU STILL
MAYBE WANT TO WEAR A PANT
BUT THE COTTON AND THEY'RE SUPER
BREATHABLE AND THAT LENGTH
OF PANT I REALLY LIKE THAT FOR
MEN IT'S KIND OF A LITTLE BIT
SHORTER.
SHORTER.
SHORTER. >> YEAH. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF GUYS
WANT SOMETHING SHORTER IN THE
SUMMER THAT THEY CAN EITHER ROLL
OR WEAR RIGHT AT THE ANKLE.
BUT A LOT OF THESE GUYS
ARE WANTING TO WEAR A LOAFER
BOAT YOU WITHOUT A SOCK ON .
AND SO THIS IS A NICE WAY TO DO
IT. AND HIS LITTLE SHOES
AND BELT THERE ARE ACTUALLY FROM
MACY'S AND YOU HAVE A WOMEN'S
LEG FOR US THIS YEAR.
>> SO NEXT STOP IS FRANCES
AND FRANCES HAS A LOOK ON FROM
URBAN OUTFITTERS, WHICH JUST
OPENED HERE ON APRIL 1ST
FOR REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
>> AND THE KEY HERE IS WE WANT
TO TALK ABOUT OPPOSITE'S
WITH LAYERING. SO WHEN I SAY
THAT IT'S NOT ONLY PRINT, SO IF
YOU'RE DOING PRINTS ON PRINTS,
YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT SCALE.
SO BIG PRINTS WITH LITTLE
PRINTS, LITTLE PRINTS WITH BIG
PRINTS WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
VOLUME OF CLOTHES, LIKE SHE'S
GOT KIND OF AN OVERSIZE
STORDEN YOU CAN SEE IT'S GOT
REALLY BIG KIND OF ARMS
WITH LOTS OF FABRIC, LOTS
OF EXTRA FABRIC THROUGH
THE BODY. WHEN YOU'RE DOING
THAT , YOU'RE GOING TO GET A LOT
OF VOLUME ON TOP. SO YOU'RE
GOING TO WANT TO KEEP IT
A LITTLE TIGHTER ON THE BOTTOM.
AGAIN, WE'RE SEEING A LOT
OF PANTS THAT HAVE A LOT
OF VOLUME TOO. SO IF YOU'RE
GOING TO WEAR THOSE KINDS
OF PANTS, YOU WANT YOUR SHIRT
TO BE A LITTLE BIT TIGHTER
ON TOP. AND THEN ALSO WHEN
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AMOUNT
OF EXPOSED SKIN RIGHT NOW, YOU
WANT THAT TO BE OPPOSITE'S AS
WELL . SO BECAUSE WE HAD HER
IN THE LITTLE SHORT HERE WITH
THE EXPOSED LEGS, WE ADDED THOSE
EXTRA LAYERS TO KIND OF KEEP HER
COVERED ON TOP. AND THEN AGAIN,
AS IT WARMS UP A LITTLE BIT, SHE
CAN SHOVE THAT OUTER LAYER
AND SHE'S GOT THIS CUTE LITTLE
SPRING TIME FLORAL BLOUSE ON THE
DEAL. JODI FRANCIS BROOTEN,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US
AND FOR THE TIPS THIS MORNING .
>> THANK YOU. YEAH, IT'S AWESOME
TO HAVE ALL THESE PIECES.
I ALWAYS TELL EVERYBODY MAKE
SURE THEY LOOK GOOD ON THEIR
OWN. THEY SHOULD BE
