Spring 2018 Essentials

YESSSSS! Spring is right around the corner. February, one of the coldest months of the year, is the perfect month to take stock of your closet as you think about warmer months ahead. Take a long, hard look at your closet. Remove clothing you have not worn or you no longer enjoy and focus on adding quality and timeless essentials, like these spring items, that will become your go-to pieces. 

Perfect T-Shirts

You can never have too many t-shirts in your closet, especially when they sport details such as these. High-low hemlines, A-line swing cuts, asymmetrical ruffles: these tees will elevate any outfit by themselves, a no-hassle, win-win every morning! 

Lightweight Sweaters

As much as I would like it sunny and 80 degrees (Every. Single. Day.), come spring we all know it can be a bit chilly. Lightweight sweaters will keep you warm without venturing into the overheating category. Plus, when an outfit calls for something more than a tee, a sweater adds a touch of sophistication to your favorite pair of jeans or pencil skirt. 

Dresses — Throw on and Go!

Fewer pieces of clothing are easier to put on than a dress, especially when it is warmer weather! 

Transitional Jacket

Jean jackets are cool but can’t go to the office. This jacket can be the best of work and play, without any winter bulk. 

Accessory Musts

Essentials whisper. Labradorite stones truly pick up every color; I call them the “morphing” stone. One could truly wear them everyday!  Also, druzy stones exude a classic texture that can pull a simple outfit together.  Add a cross body bag and the omnipresent tan cutout booties (worn in every shoot!) and you have your spring wardrobe all wrapped and ready to go!
