Spring Awakening


Since I now realize that I will be doing far less posts than before due to lack of free time with the little guy, I am going to try to get some mega-posts out there. Despite the freezing temperatures, now is the time to start shopping for spring fashion. I always prefer starting with a few staples and fun accessories and mixing in with what I already have in my wardrobe. Here goes.....

Jeans/pants:
I have posted about these a few times but they are so great to carry you into spring b/c the length goes great with flats or platforms and they almost work like leggings under longer flowy tunic style shirts
BDG Jeans
Skinny Cargo Khackis

Shorts:
Jean shorts are still in this year and are particularly cute with bright cardigans/mens shirts and skinny belts as if they are full length pants
J Crew Denim Shorts

Jackets:
Military style is still in:
Gap
Or a white trench
AE Outfitters
Another staple piece that will last for years:
Topshop
BCBG

Tops:
Nautical is in this spring and this would look great with skinny jeans
White House Black Market
Easy Flowy Tunic Top
Another Nautical Selection
Racerback Tank
This shirt does require a tan.... and a not for daytime Urban Outfitters
Fun Floral Cardigan

Dresses:
Nude hues are in and I know that you are probably thinking that you need a dark tan to pull it off.....not true. Just throw on some darker shoes and a great bright or darker jacket or cardigan and it will look fantastic.
BCBG generation
Belted Floral Dress Pair this with tall suede slouchy boots, a belt and blazer and you will look hip and stylish
Flattering Dress for both day/night

Bags, Shoes, and accessories:
