Spring Outfit Ideas

This spring, I predict a huge tropical print trend that will most likely carry over into the summer. To sport bold colors and wild styles, I suggest pairing these pieces with toned down pastels and neutrals to help them stand out. And to keep you from getting lost in them, too. Here are some of my outfit ideas. Be inspired and create your own look.


Maxi Dress + Denim Jacket + Sneaks + Panama Hat +  Woven Bead Choker










Open Knit Cardigan + Solid Tee + Tropical Shorts + Woven Flats + Sailor's Knot Bracelet






Black Tee + Palm Print Pants + Yellow Scarf + Wedges + Clay Flower Earrings






Three outfits I've put together for you all, I hope I've incited some creativity and helped you out with getting dressed for this upcoming season. Feel free to comment or suggest topics for a future post.

Winter Jackets

I don't like puffer coats. They are usually unflattering and I grew up wearing one that was always two sizes too big, because I would "grow" into it. Here I've picked a few that I think are worth the weather.


Bow Jacket




















Splash of Citrus


From American Eagle Outfitters













Warm in Wool


Fall's military trend survives this winter. Warm up in wool and stay classy and sophisticated.

From BB Dakota











Shearling



Asymmetrical cut leather zip-up

















Ski Jackets

Leather Gloves

Sometimes the biting wind really chills my fingers. When I'm returning with groceries, the plastic shopping bags really dig into my skin and the cold just makes it worse. But I've returned (don't worry, this blog project was not abandoned, I'm just a busy college student) to share some of my picks for leather gloves. Classy, elegant, and forever stylish, leather gloves can really pull an outfit together and serve as a functional piece.


Leather Gloves


The ruffles and perf detail add a cute touch to solid black leather.
















Moschino


Pleats











Buttons


Buttons and ruffles adorn these cute fingerless steampunk gloves. I love the red detail.
















Plum


Long style with buttons, deep wine color.



















Olive




A nice refresher from the traditional black and neutrals, these pretty greenies can add a bit of flair without making too much of a statement.













Oi oi oi


What happened to the rest of these? is this like the opposite of a fingerless glove where we remove the hand? Its awkward to wear and just looks sloppy.













Style Tips:
It is difficult to find a leather glove that, well, fits like one. This is because most lack stretch and can only accommodate hands of a certain size. Always try on a glove before you buy. Leather gloves can wear down quickly so be mindful of when and how you are wearing them and what you are doing in them. While they can pull off a polished and sophisticated look, choosing the right one is important. Don't go for overly wrinkly or fake leather, which usually looks bad regardless.
