My LBS has an outstanding line of long-sleeved Smartwool jerseys that I am just salivating over...
It depends on the weight of the top and what spring temperature you're talking about. SM Microweight jerseys are very light as the name suggests. Midweight could be suitable for spring so long as it wasn't too warm out. I have a midweight jersey that I wear almost exclusively in the winter though. When temps fluctate quite a bit during the spring and fall, I'm much more apt to wear several layers none of which are particularly warm on their own just so I can take things off and put them back on as needed. For that reason, I think I'd be more inclined to wear a SM lightweight jersey with a light jacket in the spring.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
