This weekend was FREEZING. Like literally freezing. We were at the ranch, and Saturday night it was in the 20s and windy as all get out. However, Friday it got up to 64. Our weather is confused, and so am I.
But I do know this, I am dreaming of Spring! I’m craving bright colors, flirty accessories, and happy clothes.
I started scouring internet land for inspiration, and I found a handful of items that I’m loving that are screaming “SPRING!!!”!
blush military jacket (plus size jacket) / bracelet stack / wedges / cardi / kelly green sweater
yellow denim jacket / clutch with wooden ring / glitter stud earrings with hearts / driving loafer / tassel earrings / white jeans
* blush military jacket (plus size jacket) / I bought this jacket in the military green 2 or 3 years ago, and it’s still the most frequently worn military jacket in my closet. There’s just something about it. I love how it’s slouchy (but not sloppy at all), and I think the collar is so cute. It makes every outfit better, and it’s the perfect light layer to throw on. I’m definitely grabbing it in this pretty blush this year. I’m constantly wearing a military jacket or one of my favorite denim jackets in the spring and all the way into summer. This blush jacket will mix into the rotation nicely. It will be great with regular denim and white denim!
* bracelet stack / Give me all the bright sparkles! With all of the colors in this stack, I can’t imagine an outfit it won’t compliment.
* wedges / I’m thrilled Nordstrom brought back my must have wedges (only $79.95) , but these are calling my name. I love the taupe color and think they are a wonderful neutral that could easily be dressed up or down. They also come in a super sassy snake skin!
* cardi / I love an open cardi. This one is a great deal and comes in 3 colors. I also ordered this navy and white striped one for myself (it will be perfect with white jeans and/or denim shorts)!
*Kelly green sweater / Kelly green is one of my very favorite colors to wear. Sadly, you hardly ever see me wearing it because there aren’t many clothing options in this happy hue! This sweater will be DARLING with white jeans and cognac wedges or even shoreline converse! It will also be cute with my favorite denim shorts (one of the Top 10 STMT purchases of 2018). You will need to wear a cami under it, and I recommend these $12 camis. I have several in white, neutral and black. Definitely size up in the camis because they are quite fitted.
* yellow denim jacket / This denim jacket is a great cut and the prettiest soft yellow. It will be awesome with white jeans, but I’m also imagining it thrown over a cute sundress.
* clutch with wooden ring / I bought this clutch last year and carried it constantly. The wooden ring is so chic, and it is so affordable! Click HERE to see me in it with several different summer dresses, including the best black spaghetti strapped maxi (on sale right now and under $40)!
* glitter stud earrings with hearts / I saw these while browsing online and was immediately smitten. Gold glitter and blush hearts? Yes, please! How wonderful will these be for Valentine’s Day?!? Grab them for a treat for yourself or a pick me up for a girlfriend. They would also make reallllllly nice teacher gifts.
* driving loafer / Y’all might recognize these loafers. I picked them up in a cognac suede in the fall and they pretty much sold immediately. Well, they are back for Spring in several colors. I love the light taupe suede, the hot pink suede, and the “red rocks” which looks like a pretty persimmon to me! And you know these flats in both the saddle and the classic nude are a favorite year after year. Both the loafers and the flats are absolutely perfect transitional shoes.
* tassel earrings / These also come in turquoise, white, and purple. They are a great size and the perfect flirty accessory for spring and summer!
* white jeans / My favorite white jeans are from this maker. I’m not sure if they are going to be restocked or not, but these look like a great option! If you don’t have a pair of white jeans yet, you HAVE to get a pair this spring and summer. I wear mine all year long, but they get the most wear March-September. I know so many of you are afraid of white jeans, but don’t be! Give them a chance!
*****************************************************
I also thought I would show you 1 outfit with a cardi that is perfect for transitioning from winter to spring. It’s warm, but the colors are bright, happy, and ready for warmer weather! And it will be darling with white jeans as well!
I love the bold color block paired with the leopard bag. The earrings and the white tee are both Amazon finds. If you didn’t see my Amazon post on Friday, click HERE!
white tee / colorblock cardi / resin hoop earrings/ leopard cross body / jeans / similar taupe booties
That’s it for today! Have a great day, ladies!

I am LOVING that green sweater! And I feel you with that confused weather, even over here on the East Coast. Yesterday the temps went from 50 to 9 is a matter of a few hours! So crazy. and sooo soo cold!
Melinda says
Your weather comment cracked me up- our HIGH on Saturday was 22 with a sub zero windchill! We’d kill for some of that TX winter weather, lol. We haven’t had a day with a high of 64 in a couple months- and we’re only 5 hours north of you in Kansas 🙂
Shay Shull says
Sheaffffffer…I was so excited when I saw this in my FEED this morning 😉 ! I want to dream of Spring too!!!
Erika Slaughter says
I’d prefer one big snow day and THEN I’ll be dreaming is spring. Think it’ll happen?
Christina says
I neeeed that yellow denim jacket/ how cute!! I don’t want the cool weather to go but I’m dreaming of spring and find myself already thinking about what I want to update my wardrobe with!
Narci says
I love that sweater on you! Perfect for The winter, and I love all the colors! So pretty!
Bethany says
I loved this post, Sheaffer! I ordered the pink and green sweaters—kelly green is my very favorite, too! I also ordered the UGG loafers and can’t wait to see if they’re as comfortable as my UGG boots. I bought the new slim UGGS this year and have gotten a lot of good wear out of them with this cold weather. Thanks for all your suggestions! ❤️
Addison says
This post has me ready for the warmer weather! I type this as I am snowed in today 🙂
cassie // hi sugarplum says
YES!!!! Ready for spring and all these bright pieces!!
Jennifer says
It’s -2 degrees with the windchill here in the Chicago suburbs! I can’t wait for spring!
What size are you wearing in the color-blocked cardigan? Nordstrom website says to size down. Did you find that to be the case?
Sheaffer says
Hi, Jennifer! So sorry, I should have mentioned that. I was writing the post in the car on the way out of town. Yes, I’m wearing a small, but I could definitely wear an x-small. I would recommend sizing down. xoxo
Melynda says
Is the white tee from amazon see through?
Sheaffer says
Hi, Melynda! I do not think it’s see thru! And it’s the thickest of all of my white tees too. xoxo
Melynda says
Thanks so much!!
Stephanie says
That Kelly green sweater is beautiful!
It’s currently 11 degrees here in MD with a windchill of -9, so I’m pretty ready for spring here, too.

Kimberly Mann says
Love the twill jacket, which color is the blush the bubblegum pink or the pale pink? Also, what size do you wear in this, I have been purchasing same size as you in the tops.
Thank you,
Kim
Sheaffer says
Hi, Kim! The one in the collage is the “pale pink”. The “bubblegum pink” looks pretty too and also looks more like a blush than what I think a “bubblegum” pink is. Mine is 2-3 years old, so I’m not sure if the sizing is still the same, but mine is the small. xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Kimberly Mann says
Sheaffer,
Thanks so much! I think I sent the question twice, I didn’t think it went through the first time! Sorry!!
Kim
Sheaffer says
No worries, Kimberly! I moderate all comments, so I have to approve them to go through. That’s why you don’t see it immediately! xoxo
Terri says
I share your love of Kelly green! Old Navy has a kelly green sweatshirt!! I just picked it up in store last week. Not finding it online yet. The girl at my store said they had just come in on Monday. It’s the same popular ones they have had for a couple of years now in solid colors. Super soft and perfect. They had a quite a few other new spring colors too!
Sheaffer says
Thanks for the tip, Terri! xoxo
Liane says
I have the blush jacket but haven’t worn it much. I need some styling ideas! I’m excited to see how you wear it’
Tara Fitzpatrick says
Thanks for the spring post! I am in Florida and while we do get our share of “cold” weather it’s nice to see a post of some clothes that I can wear now. Also, I am getting ready for vacation time so it would be nice to see some more post with vacation wear as we get closer to March.
Sheaffer says
Hi, Tara! Stay tuned for my post next Tuesday! It’s RESORT WEAR and it’s all DARLING!!!!! xoxo
Nancy says
You mentioned a shopping website in one of your posts recently. I think it was “Red” something. Can you give me that link again? Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Nancy! It’s called “Red Dress Boutique”! xoxo
