Spring Wardrobe Essentials

Happy happy spring friends! Time to break out those dying-to-see-the-light spring threads!

These are becoming some of my favorite posts to put together. I’ve admitted it before: I’m an outfit planner. Like total type-a plan what I wear each day of the week the weekend before. Thinking about outfits for this season and springs past, these are the pieces I know I get the most use out of, living where I do::

White Linen Blazer ($178):: Just a very sweet staple. Over dresses, over a tee and skinnies, to the office…
Rain Boots ($148):: April showers. And the occasional March snow sprinkling. This pair is packable, so great for weekend trips!
Patterned or Colored Skinnies ($28 // 30% off today):: I have worn nothing but black/blue denim or fleece-lined leggings all winter. Until it’s totally dress season, I need to add some life back into my pants.
[Anddd let’s not interpret that the wrong way.]
Floral Skirt ($33):: Because, florals for spring. Groundbreaking.
Chambray Shirt ($75):: My every-season staple! With colored denim, printed skirts, open loose over dresses. List goes on.
Umbrella ($38):: April showers, part two.
Bright Anorak ($170 // 25% off today):: Are you seeing a rainy-day trend here? Make the yucky days brighter with a fun, nautical pop of color.
Trench Coat ($168 // the classic):: Rainwear for the more professional environment. A yellow rain jacket over an LBD is never a good look– trust me, I’ve tried it.
Long-Sleeve Dress ($188 // the staple):: When you just can’t deal with pants any longer, but it’s still too chilly to bare the arms. A navy striped one is a classic– I wear mine almost too often in the springtime.
Pastel Crossbody ($275 // the splurge):: I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: spring clean! My tote bags are bottomless pits in the winter, littered with chapsticks, gloves, receipts, tissues, and other messes. Lighten the load for spring!
[Side note: lavender is huge right now.]
Derby Hat ($36):: K, not an everyday piece, but necessary for sunny picnic days and the Kentucky Derby the first weekend in May!
Keds ($75):: As much as I love them, I have never been more ready to ditch the Bean Boots. Not quite sandal season around here yet, but love me some fresh white tennies. This darling pair is from the new Keds x kate spade collection, but opt for plain white or gray if you want some that will go with everything.

And how I put everything to use::

What are your spring staples?

On another note, some weekend fun::
1 // In need of plans tonight? Head to the opening night of Boston Ballet’s Shades of Sound and don your finest florals for their Spring Social! What better way to celebrate the first day of spring?
2 // If you’re shopping anyway this weekend, consider heading to the Derby Street Vineyard Vines– you get 10% off your purchase, and Vineyard Vines is giving back an additional 10% to Make A Wish Massachusetts & Rhode Island. A cause very near + dear to my heart <3
