Well, now that it’s almost summer, I figured it was a great time to put up a post about spring clothing must-haves. 😳 Gosh, why am I ALWAYS so behind in life? Oh well,  better late than never, right? So even though I’m late in the game, I’ve put together a little list of five must-haves for spring for your viewing enjoyment.

1. T Shirts, T Shirts, T Shirts!!!

Tees are definitely a must for spring. I find myself more often than not, grabbing a simple tee, jeans, and flats or sneakers than anything else in my closet.

This spring I’ve found a new love for whimsical tees with things on them like flamingos, lemons, and graphics. I’ve found that people are much nicer to you while wearing a flamingo on your chest.

A plain white tee is an absolute essential for spring. It can be quite difficult to find the perfect white tee but I’m pretty sure this is the one. It’s crazy soft, not sheer and doesn’t wrinkle easily!

I mean who doesn’t want to walk around with lemons on their torso?? They just make me smile 🙂

2. Flats

Flats are an absolute must for spring! The weather is typically not warm enough for sandals but not cold enough for fully closed shoes. The happy medium is flats! This year, I’m gravitating towards bright colors as well as patterns.

Wanna make a statement? These flats will do the trick! Comfy and super affordable as well!

{TankJeansEspadrilles}

Sole Society has completely won me over!!! These leopard espadrilles just make me all sorts of happy + they’re comfy to boot (or should I say to they’re comfy to flat?) Save 15% w/ code FIRST15!

Not much I can say about these except I’m completely obsessed!! The bow, the color, the comfort, oh my!! Use code FIRST15 to save 15%.

3. Light Cardigans

Springtime weather can be extremely unpredictable. I always like to carry around a light cardigan in case it gets chilly.

I must be a brave soul to wear a white cardigan but will definitely not be wearing it while out to eat at an Italian restaurant!

I love, love, love these cardigans!! Super lightweight and just perfect for that springtime weather.

4. Colored/Embroidered Jeans

Again, I am a brave sould for wearing white jeans. I also wouldn’t recommend wearing these while eating a big bowl of spaghetti. However, I just loooove my white jeans in the spring and also into the summer. They’re just so “spring-like!”

{Sweater, JeansWedges}

Embroidered jeans are my jam this spring! Plus, Abercrombie’s coming back in a big way. My teenage self would make fun of me for still wearing their clothing at 31 years old but what does she know? She’s just a silly teenager.

31131813_879600932242680_1317361483699965734_n.jpg{TopJeansFlats}

I know that the thought of “perriwinkle” jeans may make you cringe but boy are they cute! You can actually pair so much with them and they scream spring just about as much as your kids scream “mom!”

26992766_835878339948273_3838328006089683195_n.jpg{JeansLoafersNecklace}

Last but not least in the “colored pants I think you need” section is PINK! I highly suggest you pick up a pair and get tickled pink!

5. Bralettes

Bralettes are such a HOT trend this spring. If you don’t know what these are, they are similar to a bra but have less support and prettier details. Bralettes are meant to be shown through your top unlike bras that we like to hide.

{BraletteTopJeansFlats}

Anytime I can look like a giant bowl of sherbet is a win in my book! I prefer to wear my bralettes with off the shoulder tops. I love the little bit of lace that shows and plus you don’t have to wear a strapless bra!! Winner winner, chicken dinner.

{BraletteTankJeansSandals}

OK, so this Free People bralette is extremely popular among the blogosphere but I just can’t figure out how to wear it! I know it’s supposed to peek through but it doesn’t go up high enough on me to peek out the top. Maybe it’s too big? Maybe it’s my boobs? Yeah, we’ll just blame it on them.

Well, there you have it folks! Stay tuned for the top 5 Summer Must-Haves in the fall 😛

Dressing Room Diaries

I decided to go to the mall the other day and quickly realized why I do most of my shopping online. I tend to get super high anxiety around crowds of people but luckily the Pats were playing the Jaguars so, it was quiet (yay sports!) Also, it’s amazing how many things are cheaper online than in the store. How do these brick and mortars expect to stay in business?!?

Since, there’s so many good deals here, I wanted to put all my try-ons in one post making it super easy to shop. Click on each picture to see the details. So, come on in to the dressing room with me!

And there you have it! Thanks for shopping along with me…until next time!

I may or may not have gone a little overboard with adding to my Spring wardrobe. There were just so many cute Spring trends this year, I couldn’t help myself! Here’s what I have recently added to my closet.

Blush was such a popular color this Spring that it was only necessary, I bought a blush t-shirt. I also purchased these Steve Madden slip-ons that are great for that in-between weather before flip-flop season.

I’ve posted about this bomber jacket before but I had to gush about it again. I told you…I was all about that blush this season! A couple more additions included this Madewell tank top, Vince Camuto cross-body purse, Nine West floral flats, and Converse sneakers! p.s. the flats are 20% off right now and the purse is an extra 20% off w/ code MOM!

JCrew Factory had some amazing deals a couple weeks ago so I scooped up this striped tank top to pair with my nine west floral flats (mentioned above.) Is there a better combination than floral and stripes? That was a rhetorical question…the answer is no.

Perhaps my most favorite Spring addition was this Wayf Floral Off The Shoulder Blouse. Floral, ruffles, and off the shoulder are all a-ok in my book!

BeFunky Collage.jpg

I was so diggin’ the off the shoulder trend that I ordered another one in yep, you guessed it, BLUSH! Shown here with Vince Camuto Tarita heels (I also adore these!!!)

On point with the floral and ruffle trend, this top from American Eagle was such a perfect addition to my Spring wardrobe! Paired here with my Tom’s wedges. Great for date night!

Another trend I fell in love with this Spring was the twist tee look. I also bought this tassel necklace (under $10!) that literally goes with everything. One of these tops is from Nordstrom and the other from Amazon. Can you guess which one is which?

Last but not least, these criss-cross front tops were my jam. I obviously had to get two colors! These unfortunately are all sold out but you can get a similar one from amazon here.

And there ya have it! Which addition was your favorite? Are you rockin’ any other Spring trends that I missed?

Op, op, op, op, oppa Gingham Stylye!  Gingham is definited as “lightweight plain-woven cotton cloth, typically checked in white and a bold color.” To me, the first thing that comes to mind is Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.

BUT, here’s a couple bloggers that are really pulling off this trend quite nicely!

Check out Valley of The Shoes rockin’ the Gingham top with white pants and fashion sneakers.

Or how about Walk In Wonderland rockin’ the gingham with some distressed jeans, black clutch, and aviator sunglasses? Slay, girl, slay!

Celebrities have been sporting this trend for years. As a huge fan of Sex and the City, I love everything Sarah Jessica Parker wears. Here she is wearing her gingham and she looks “absofuckinlutely” fabulous!

SJP

Vanessa Hudgens also pulled off the gingham and this charming dress.

So, what do you think? I’m not sure I could pull this off quite as flawlessly as these ladies. Can you?
