Spring is Calling

And we're answering with outfits for every occasion

I said this when I started this Substack. I love fashion, but my approach to it is not necessarily being the first person to wear something straight off the runway. I dress for my every day life, which usually consists of drop offs carrying a half-drank coffee, working from home, swim class, and causal dinners out. I tend to be a formula dresser with a twist. I gravitate towards things that are easy and comfortable, but that I feel excited to wear. I am also very intentional with purchases, and buy things that I know I will wear over and over again.

I wear a lot of monochromatic pairings, leggings, jeans, and really great basics. But, I am always looking for fun pieces to style my basics in a way that makes an easy look elevated and interesting.

So, if you are someone looking to build a Spring wardrobe with the intention of feeling comfortable, formula-focused, but still cool, different, and distinct…this one is for you. Here are a handful of outfits that are perfect for every Spring occasion.

A pale yellow t-shirt, paired with yellow denim (another option here), sunglasses that are very similar to the ones I wear on repeat, an ivory sweater over your shoulders, and my favorite LL Bean x Tibi tote bag. Earrings are Dorsey and the flats look like The Row but aren’t (I wear these into the ground)

This peplum top is stunning and unfortunately low in stock, but you can achieve a similar look with this, this or this. Or this! Jeans are the Still Here, which are the end result of a months-long denim deep dive. Pair with this bag, these earrings, and these flats

A take on the Margot Robbie viral look. I love this oversized tee paired with these cotton poplin shorts (on sale!). These are similar. I love all Dragon Diffusion bags (Madewell makes a great one too). Pair with sandals and sunglasses you will have in rotation for decades.

I loveee this top and ofc it flew (this one is also great), simple earrings, an understated clutch, my favorite white jeans, and leather sandals (these are also great!)

I have been eyeing this dress for months, it is so pretty and feminine. A few other similar options: here, here, and here. Paired with a red clutch (another), simple sandals, and a gold cuff

This is my actual go-to outfit formula. A high-quality long sleeve, a great pair of denim, a spring-tone bag, flats, sunglasses, and a fun accessory

This fleece!!!! The Conner Ives x goop Aspen fleece, of course. Paired with my favorite navy leggings, high socks, sunglasses, and Salomons (these sell out!)

Another go-to formula in my Spring/Summer rotation. Pink shorts (these will also sell out), or you could do long denim, a matching tee, belt, sweater, and snakeskin sandals. Accessorize with a bag and necklace (I have a similar version of this necklace from Etsy). And a hat to go with!

My favorite black tee (hang dry these, trust me), this is another great option, paired with the stunning High Sport pants (these are also so great, and on sale!), black flats, a classic black trench, and sunglasses

This top is giving Chloe in the best way, paired with light wash Levis, gold earrings, and a white bag. I had to include these flats, I love them so much. These from Zara are also v chic

The pink Doen top is a Springy as it gets, paired with another great pair of white denim, fun gold earrings, white sandals, and this beaded bag

Another outfit that is very me. I love this striped long sleeve (another one I love), my favorite pair of denim, another Dragon Diffusion bag, lemon yellow flats, and sunglasses we would see on CBK

Lastly - another really high-quality white long sleeve that is just that good (HANG DRY!), I also love this one. Pair with high-rise denim, animal print loafers, this tote bag in Daffodil, and another great pair of sunglasses

Spring Skincare Reset

And to close out, I had a recent skin flare up that forced me to go back to my tried and trues. The best of the best. The current AM routine consists of this gel cleanser in the morning, followed by the holy grail vitamin C serum and the Peptide Serum that changed me. I close it out with the moisturizer I keep talking about on IG. Yes I am bias, but this product is insane. And my DMs flooded with people saying the same. Worth trying!

At night, I remove makeup with this cleansing balm, followed by the same gel cleanser linked above. I then recently re-tapped my beloved P50. This product just works. I close out with the Vitner’s Daughter serum (with which I’ve been in a decade-long relationship), and the same cream I use in the AM. So far I have seen a noticeable difference with this routine.

Anything else we are shopping for?! Happy dressing!
