Spring seems to be finally here. I sure hope I didn't jinx us by saying that! I'm a gardener. I have many flowers and I am ready to be digging in the dirt but, I don't trust the weather here in Minnesota until the first week of May. Too many times we've had snow at the end of April. It's a depressing sight when that happens. But, it's also short lived.
With the flux of temperatures, our wardrobes are transitioning, too. I don't get riveted by new styles like I use to but, I do like to freshen up my wardrobe with a few new items each season. Of course, I love shopping but, adding a few new items each season prevents my closet from getting stagnant. And...as new items come into my closet, I retire other items that I've noticed I haven't reached for or are looking tired or dated. Here are the items that have caught my eye this Spring.
You'd have to be living under a rock not to know that skinny jeans have been replaced by the flared leg denim. I love (LOVE) them! This pair (above) I bought at The GAP. The deep hem and the flattering seam down the side of the leg brings a bit of sass and fun to an outfit and has a slimming effect. I did miss not having front pockets but, I didn't need them.
High - rise 70s flared jeans from The GAP I bought this "classic" flared jean (above) for the purpose of having a plain flared denim option. They are great! If you haven't gotten away from your skinny jeans, these are what you need to add to your denim collection. Don't throw those skinnies out but, do expand your options and get a boot or flared denim to update your wardrobe.
Pintuck Ruffle Puff Sleeve Top from Madewell - $98.00
I'm reading that a "touch of red" in our Spring/Summer wardrobes is a "must" for 2025. I already have plenty of red but, if you don't this blouse found at Madewell, is a perfect Summer top for an evening neighborhood barbeque or drinks at The Sidecar at the Tap, in Minneapolis.
Utility Jacket for work and play Lee Chore Jacket found at Free People - $128.00
Canvas Style Coats are HOT right now. That farm chore look or mechanic work coat is the look we're desiring. They can be paired with jeans or thrown over a little black dress.
There's a reason our Grandmothers used it! Castor Oil - found at Fresh Thyme Market - $8.99
I read an article about all the benefits of Castor Oil and I wondered why I hadn't been using it all my life? A month ago I got this bottle of castor oil and started putting it on my face at night. Within a week, my age spots had faded, not gone away but, definitely faded. I put castor oil on my legs where I have eczema and found it to be soothing. I highly recommend trying castor oil for yourself. There's a reason our grandmothers used it!
Engineer Stripes Stripe Slim Flare Jeans from Free People - 128.00
I started seeing stripes more and more in February. Now, they are in every store in multiple different looks. A striped tee is a classic must-have in every wardrobe but, this year engineer striped pants are the trend.
Papaya Colored peplum jacket by Liverpool Peplum Twill Trucker Jacket by Liverpool - $119.00
This jacket comes in tan and olive but, the "papaya" color is my favorite; it's
stunning. I bought this for a client and found the fabric to be soft to the touch with flexibility to move. My client tried several different jackets that I brought to her but, she kept commenting on how soft the fabric was on this one. She bought it. It's a winner!
I'm a fan of L'AGENCE brand clothing. Every item in their line is making a statement of style. When I saw the price falling on this green trucker style jacket with embellishments, I knabbed it. Sizes are starting to be limited on it. It'll be a fun piece that I'll wear over jeans or over my silver sequin dress for parties.
Jumpsuit Linen-Blend Halter Jumpsuit - $189.00
Jumpsuits have been "a thing" this past year and they are even more popular now. If you have the proportions to fit a jumpsuit, you'll have fun with the multitude of choices available. But, if you're like me and often wear petite sizes, jumpsuits are not going to work for you.
While shopping for a client last week, it seemed to me that everywhere I looked floral dresses were on display. Some had lots of ruffles or tiered skirts, others had bold prints. I took notice and can say confidently, floral dresses are on-trend.
Spring is here and before we know it, Summer will be beckoning us. Until then, enjoy the transitions in your wardrobe and the transition of the seasons moving into warmer weather.
Happy Wardrobing!!
