Spring Trends

Some years I hate the transition into Spring.  It’s like I either want a super soft grey cozy sweater or I want a pair of cut off denim shorts–the in between can be hard.  However, this year I have already found myself enjoying the middle months more so I had to ask myself why.  I want to recreate this feeling every year so I am always enjoying time periods rather than wishing them away to get to the next.  So here’s the main two differences from this year..

First, we made a point to travel to warmer spots in the first part of the year.  We did a long weekend in Miami in January and weekend in Charleston in February.  These definitely helped get me ready for Spring.  It was a welcomed change of pace just to be able to have bare ankles so soon in the new year without pushing the envelope too soon here in KY and being grumpy becuase I was really freezing.  So I will definitely try to do some similar travel again next year.

Second, I am really loving some of the fashion trends that are going to be saturating the market this Spring.  I combined several of those into the outfit that you see above.  Easy to wear, off the shoulder tops–light wash denim–mules–chokers–and hoop earrings!  All a yes, in my book!

This Free People lightweight sweater is pretty much stealing the show here though.  It’s the perfect little number to take you into warmer months and it also comes in several other color options!  Pair it with some jean shorts, a glass of wine & a patio and you are good to go! [wearing a small for a slouchy fit]

I am also LOVING this one and this one.  Both will give this same laid back, effortless look.

If you have the shopping bug like me then check out the new arrivals in the trend section on the Nordstrom site.  It’s always one of my favorite places to browse and get ideas of what I want to add to my closet before I finalize an online order.

I wore this outfit on Sunday night to dinner at my best friends parent’s house and I loved it.  I am all about carrying the of the shoulder trend into the fall months and this top will be just the number to do it with!  It’s such an easy wear and I can’t wait to throw it on with leggings and boots too.  Plus you will not believe the price–so cheap!  I love finding super trendy items at a good price point because you never know how much wear you will actually get out of them.  Same goes with these jeans.. The quality is not great on this pair but I was expecting that since they’re under $20, ha.  But regardless, I was really happy with them (I just got them in the mail this past weekend) because I loved the way the rips were positioned on the legs and I like length.  I think I will wear them lots in the next couple months so they were definitely worth the buy.  I’m wearing a small here for sizing reference.

&& on an even brighter note, I was so thankful to see someone post on IG this morning reminding us of a long weekend ahead!  That will definitely be what is getting me through this week!

Rainy [perfect] Saturday

thumbnail_IMG_3520

This past Saturday was perfect.  It was a little chilly and kind of rainy on and off all day.  The dreary afternoon caused us to snuggle up on the couch and watch some Netflix ( The Get Down, to be specific–pretty good). I made a second cup of coffee and was super, super content in this sweater, jeans & bralette.  You’ve got to buy this sweater–it’s soft, only $52 and comes in other colors too.  I ordered mine in a small for a super over-sized fit but I could have easily gotten an xs or xxs and it would still have been plenty big!  It will be super cute layered with a v-neck tee, leggings & flats in the fall for an easy daytime outfit and I know I’ll be wearing it with OTK boots for date nights too.  It would be perfect for a movie date actually!

I know Mondays are…..well, Mondays.  But I am excited to get the week rolling and make it productive–hope y’all are too!  Click on the photos below to shop!
