Jeans are a closet staple no matter what the season. But, during this awkward time while we wait for the real spring temperatures to arrive, I find myself reaching for my jeans a ton. They are perfect for the cooler weather and easy to pair with sweaters and tops. With so many different types of jeans to pick from, these are my 3 must have jeans for spring…
There is nothing like yellow in the springtime. Yellow is one color that seems to be present in spring pieces year after year, regardless of trends. However, this year more than ever, yellow can be found just about anywhere. Purple may be the color of the year, but this bright and cheerful shade is definitely giving purple a run for it’s money. Here is some spring yellow outfit inspiration for today’s Wednesday Wishes…
With what was hopefully our one and only snowstorm behind us, I’m ready to break out the early spring neutrals! Today I am mixing a few of my favorite neutral pieces in my closet to create the ultimate early spring neutral outfit.
Yesterday was the first day of spring, but you wouldn’t know it here in the D.C. area! We made it through February with about 2 inches of snow but we have already made up for it today. Even with the snowy forecast, it will not stop me from dreaming of warmer temperatures and spring dresses. I have been on a serious hunt for dresses lately. Between weddings, work and vacation, I have been looking for quite a few styles. Can you believe I have had virtually no luck in this dress quest?! Maybe it’s too early in the season, but finding cute and affordable spring dresses has been a challenge. However, I have managed to pull together the twelve best spring dresses under $150 that I have found. From mini, midi and maxi dresses to dresses with cute details like a tie front, here are my favorite affordable spring dresses…
A trench coat is one of my favorite spring layers. Much like the cardigan I shared in Thursday’s post and the utility jacket from two weeks ago, the trench is the third most popular spring layer in my closet. When I spotted this dusty blue trench coat in cabi’s spring collection, I knew it was a must-have for me.
At the beginning of spring, I shared a list of my 3 must-have layers for spring (post here). I have re-styled the utility jacket countless times (last seen here) and today I am re-styling my favorite spring cardigan. The color, lightweight style and length are just a few of the reasons why this is a must-have spring cardigan.
Spring has been playing tricks with us here in the D.C. area. February was warmer than March and I’m so afraid that all these pretty buds could be in jeopardy if this weather continues. Since we are experiencing cooler than normal temperatures, I guess we should just embrace it. Muggy summer temperatures will be here before we know it.
In Monday’s post, I talked about a new, more trendy spring accessory. But today, I am going back to my roots and sharing a huge collection of arguably my favorite accessory of all time: shoes. I am highlighting spring’s best shoes under $125. From espadrilles to slides and sneakers to flats, here are the best spring shoes.
I am a firm believer in accessories. That is, accessories really can make an outfit. Whether it’s making a look casual or dressy or preppy or edgy, it’s all in the accessories. Although some of my favorite accessories are usually shoes, bags, jewelry and of course lipstick, there is a trend that I have been loving since fall: scarves. Now, I have been wearing scarves (more of the larger and blanket variety) for years, but the square, silk scarf is a newer, more trendy scarf for me. And dare I say, oh so chic? This spring silk scarf is the latest in my collection, and you are never going to believe where I found it.
Excuse me as I attempt to dress for the weather over here. One day I am wearing sweaters and the next it’s full out spring. However, I won’t complain because I am excited to wear spring pieces, even if it’s only once a week. If I had to pick a spring uniform to wear for casual days and even date nights, this would be it. I have raved about this top on countless occasions (most recently in yesterday’s post!) but I think I have found my favorite color yet. You know you have a problem when you own the same shirt in four different colors, but this pink ruffle top takes the cake when it comes to the best shade.
