Spring Checklist

Warm weather is right around the corner, and the flowers are blooming.  I love seeing all the colors that is popping up all around our beautiful earth.  I am ready to pull out all my favorite spring clothes and pastel dresses and tops because you know right after Spring is Summer.  Trends are always changing but there are a few trends that were big last year and reappearing this year.  These spring/summer staples should be on your spring checklist because they aren’t leaving anytime soon.

Spring Checklist:

Floral Print–floral prints are big this spring and I love you can find them pretty much in just about anything lately.  From ruffle, flowy dresses to bathing suits to linens, Floral prints are making a big statement this year and perfect for Spring frolics.

Woven Accessories–the woven straw beach bags were my favorite last year, and I love that they are still strong this year.  There are so many great styles and shapes and price points.  I would say to definitely pick yourself up a beach bag or straw hat for your Spring checklist.

 

Hand-held Bags–small enough to tote around with ease yet big enough to carry all your essentials.  I love all the hand-held bags in pastel and are so adorable for a spring time look.

 

Loafers and Mules–these styles were big over the fall and trending into spring, loafers and mules are versatile with pants or dresses.  I love how comfortable they are and casual but also a little more formal than a pair of sneakers.  The color block espadrilles are also a give style trend this spring.

Embroidered Blouse 

Happy March 1st!  We are alll..most to spring! Although it is feeling more like winter around here with cold gusts of wind and lots of rain.  So to start off this month, I thought I’d do a quick fashion post sharing some of my favorite Embroidered Blouses, which many of them are on sale.  I have picked up a few embroidered blouses this winter and love the boho chic style and have easily you can wear them into spring.  There are so many cute styles, and the embroidered look adds simple details to a basic blouse.  But what I really love is all the other elements of the blouse like mesh top or ruffled sleeves or puffy sleeves, sequins or elastic ruffled cuffs.  A lot of details but yet it still goes together so well!

I wore my embroidered blouse with a light long gray wool jacket, which is warm but not too heavy and perfect for this cool temperature.

Here are a few other embroidered blouses that I have heart eyes all over.  They are so cute for spring.  Wear with a casual bottom like jeans or simple skirt.

Spring Floral Skirt

Ready to jump right into spring by treating myself to a new spring floral skirt.  When the weather gets warm, I love finding a playful and colorful spring floral skirt to wear.  I wore this outfit to church on a Sunday that had that slight breeze but sunny warmth.  The skirt I am wore has a 70’s-inspired floral print with a classic cut and a wide tie-waist.  This skirt looks great with a chambray shirt or anything denim.  Or you can have fun and mix the print with a striped shirt or play up the skirt with one of the floral colors in the print.  The bonus is you can detach the waist belt and wear it with jeans.  The coral orange color in the skirt matches my heels, which are from last year but I linked a similar style below.  Spring Floral skirt are statement pieces and I’m listing a few of my favorite ones that I’ve spied lately.  This skirt is paired with a Kate Spade quilted bag, but I also LOVE the Rebecca Minkoff Quilted Crossbody.

Spring Weekend Outfit Shirt Dress

The weekends are usually crazy for us, especially Saturday with children’s sport games, birthday parties, weekend events, random errands with the husband.  We could start the day as early as 8 am and sometimes we don’t get home until dinner time, running around like chickens.  Anyway, you get the idea!  With spring season in full swing, I have been living in my street sneakers.  They are so comfortable, and work perfectly from going from the soccer field to the local farmer’s market.  On weekends where I know I have a birthday party or a fun festival at the museum or one of Atlanta’s downtown neighborhoods, I like to still be casual but a little more put together instead of my gym pants or jeans.  The perfect spring weekend outfit: shirt dress, no doubt.  This dress from Gap is comfortable and it has pockets.  Weekend must-haves are pockets and crossover bags since I’m usually need to have my hands free with soccer gear, a child’s hand or flowers of course!  Or try a fanny pack!  I know what you are thinking.  But they are coming back in style.  Do you wear hats?  I try to wear a hat to cover my face if I know I’m going to be spending quite a bit of time outside in the sun with either a trucker hat or my panama hat.  Protect your face from that sun!  So so important.  It’s the only face you’ve got.

Have a happy weekend and get outside!

Here are some other spring weekend outfit shirt dress:

Spring Style Watch: Peasant Tops

peasant tops and blouses to wear this spring
I’m a hippie at heart, and always love bohemian style.  I use to own five birkenstocks…at once!  You can never go wrong with a breezy, gauzy peasant top especially during spring.  It will keep you cool but add a light layer to keep the warmth in.  And as you can see I am drawn to aztec prints.
