Spring Style

"Fashion is about dressing according to what's fashionable. Style is more about being yourself." - Oscar de la Renta

Spring is officially here y'all! I absolutely love this season. The warmer weather is upon us, and it's time to switch up the wardrobe a bit!

Today, I'm super excited to share a few of my favorite items for Spring.

  1. Lariat Necklace - I love a statement necklace! This piece can dress up a casual outfit. It is perfect to pair with a basic tee and kimono.
  2. Sandals - Since it is warmer, it's time to find the perfect sandal. I recently got my first pair of Birkenstock and they are very comfortable. These are perfect with jeans, and any casual look.
  3. Crossbody Bag - This lightweight bag is versatile and so cute! During warmer months I typically go for clutches and crossbody bags. I try to carry my essentials, and have gotten away from larger bags. This is perfect, and the color is absolutely lovely.
  4. Sneakers - I love going on walks and being outside when it is super nice out. These sneakers are wonderful. They are so comfy, super lightweight, and form to my feet perfectly.
  5. Lace Kimono - This piece is great to layer with a t-shirt. Since it is still cool, this item is casual and very comfortable. A kimono can quickly elevate any look!
  6. Silk Scarf - One of my favorite accessories is a scarf. You can style this with a nice top. Also, if it gets a bit warm, you can also tie it on a handbag!

What are some of your Spring fashion essentials?

Enjoy!

Wardrobe Essentials

"Building a proper wardrobe is like building a home. Indeed, you should think of it like a home, because it is something you're going to live in. It must be comfortable and suit all your needs." - Edith Head

I'm always on the hunt for finding functional and great looking pieces for my closet. There are several items that I make sure are kept in my wardrobe. I love shopping at my favorite stores and finding inspiration for new looks. Also, some of the items I own are vintage pieces that were handed down by several women in my family.

Today, I'm sharing my top picks and wonderful items that I keep in my closet!

Clothes

  • Denim | I love a great pair of jeans! Levi's and White House Black Market denim typically work best for my curvy frame. Not only is the quality amazing, but they are very affordable and last forever.
  • Knit Sweater | This is a fall and winter staple for me. I enjoy throwing on a nice knit and chunky sweater, especially in the evening.
  • Classic Tee | T-shirts are perfect for layering or running around the town doing a few errands. Tees can be used to dress up or down any look!
  • Button-Down Shirt | This classic staple is perfect for the work day, it's very comfortable and chic!
  • Ankle Pant | These pants are perfect to wear with flats or heels! Ankle pants are my go-to for the work day.
  • Fit & Flare Dress | I have a hour-glass shape, and this dress is a perfect compliment to my frame. This dress is great for work or date night!

Shoes

  • Flats | Personally, I love the perfect pair of flats. The style is great with jeans, pants, and skirts!
  • Sandals | I absolutely adore a fun and cute sandal. They can dress up a look and are ideal for warm weather!
  • Booties | Ankle booties are my new fave! They are so soft and comfortable.
  • Boots | I have pretty big calves - from running and working out. It is super hard for me to find a stylish boot to fit my legs. These boots are comfortable and so wonderful!
  • Heels | They are perfect for the office and a night on the town! I always try to find heels that are comfortable and can go with any outfit.

Accessories

  • Purse | Purses are my weakness. I'm always on the hunt for the perfect bag. I have a purse to this and it fits all of my essentials!
  • Belt | It is absolutely key to have a nice belt. I typically have belts that are black and brown, just to make sure options are available. 
  • Faux Fur Scarf | This is one of my fave pieces. On a cool night this is perfect to have! It is such a fun item and wonderful addition to my closet.
  • Watch | I truly enjoy this watch. The mixed metal tones, make it very versatile and easy to wear. Also, it is lightweight and so comfortable to wear.
  • Ring | A statement ring is an absolute must. I have a lovely blue sapphire ring that I wear almost daily. It is one of my most treasured items.
