I honestly cannot tell y'all how happy I am about this weather. The winter was super mild (no complaints!) and I've been so happy to pull out all of my favorite spring items early! Each year, I have a list of things that I consider must-haves for that Spring (that post coming soon!), but I definitely have my favorite things that I always fall back on.
Chino Shorts
I've been wearing chino shorts forever. Now I'll admit, I definitely rocked the Abercrombie & Fitch ones in middle school with pride. Yikes. (But really, didn't we all??) Nowadays, I prefer to choose from J.Crew's wide array of offerings.
I'm totally loyal to the 3" chino short. Basically, I live in these shorts from the minute the thermometer hits 75 degrees all the way through mid-October.
I have them in a bunch of different colors already, and just ordered them in purple!
J.Crew also makes these shorts in a 4", 5", 7", and 9" inseam.
Drapey Tanks
With the temperatures rising constantly, the first thing on my mind is staying cool. That's why my go-to top is a floaty tank like these (more often than not with a bit of a racerback) when it really heats up!
J.Crew Vintage Cotton Tank
Frenchi Silky Sleeveless Top
Lush Sleeveless Chiffon Blouse
Lilly Pulitzer Allison Top
Sunglasses
Every year, I tell myself, "This is the year I will get good sunglasses." It never happens and I end up getting at least three pairs of cheap sunglasses because they break, I lose track of them, etc. So for real this year, I will be getting quality sunglasses. I've decided on Ray-Ban Wayfarers in black. Classic.
But it was definitely a tough choice to make between Wayfarers and Aviators!
I think I'll get the Wayfarers as my "good" pair of sunglasses and get some inexpensive aviators to wear on the side.
KW 'Fame' Sunglasses
The juniors' department at Nordstrom has some really cute and inexpensive sunglasses in a variety of different styles. I've relied on them as my official cheap and cute sunglass shop.
I grabbed a pair of these for my friend as part of her birthday gift. They were perfect as part of a larger present and she loved them!
What I really like about Nordstrom's juniors' department, is that they usually have a great promotion going on with the sunglasses this time of year. When I was in there the other day, all the sunglasses were 2 for $20! Perfect for stocking up in different colors and styles!
Sperry Top-Siders
Sperrys are my go-to shoe in the spring. If it's not quite warm enough for sandals, or I'm too lazy to paint my toenails, or, in my case right now, I just haven't bought new sandals yet, Sperrys are the answer.
Right now, I have A/O's in classic brown and metallic gold. I'm thinking white for my next pair!
The only thing I don't like about Sperrys is breaking them in when they're brand new. Hello, ankle blisters! Make sure you've got band-aids on hand for those first two weeks or so. Ouch! After a while though, they fit to your feet perfectly and are definitely the comfiest shoes in my closet.
What are your spring must-haves?

I totally agree about the no winter this year! It has been wonderful unlike last year with that awful snowstorm lol. But I love your list of must haves for spring!
ReplyDeleteLoving the shorts and Sperry's!!
ReplyDeleteI definitely live in my chino shorts and Sperry's, too! And I've been meaning to invest in Ray Bans for forever.
ReplyDeleteFor breaking in my Sperry's I have to wear them with socks for a week or so. I know it looks dorky, but it really helps later on. I live in JCrew shorts in the summer!
ReplyDeletelove all these things...i wear them all spring! haha. great job on the smart girls group btw :)
