SPRING BREAK IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER

I’m working on a post for next week with some Spring Break essentials and some outfit inspiration… but I wanted to post these finds immediately because OH MY CUTE.

And the price tags are unbelievable.

SPRING OUTFITS

I’ve got a mixed bag of finds for you today from a mixed bag of retailers: Nordstrom, Amazon, Walmart, and Old Navy!

This quarter zip sweater screams spring. The green stripe is fresh and fun, and the stand-up collar is everything. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

These are the jeans I named a must have a couple of years ago, and I love them even more now than I did then. I reach for them all the time. They are a super subtle straight leg, and I love the ankle length and frayed hem. Comfy, flattering, and true to size.

The pictures don’t do this next piece just, BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT I’M IN LOVE WITH THIS JACKET.

The site says it’s a “boxy” twill jacket, but I don’t find it boxy at all. I would say it’s fitted…. but it’s got a lot of great stretch, so it doesn’t feel tight or restrictive at all. I’m in the “cafe”, but it also comes in tree, powder blue, and ecru. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

This roll neck sweater is excellent quality and super affordable. Notice the roll neck, the thick banded hem, and the exaggerated and ribbed cuffs. It is a medium weight, so it’s definitely a good choice for cool spring days and summer nights. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

I love it above with the neutral denim, but it’s great with regular denim as well.

And it comes in white and navy too! Loving the nautical vibes here. Again, I’m wearing a medium.

80 ratings have been left for this sweater, and almost every single one of them is a 5-star review. It’s a great mid-weight, you know I love the stand-up collar, and I think the stripe pattern is so interesting. As you can see, you can style it with a half tuck or without, but I prefer the half-tuck. I’m wearing a medium.

This super soft cardigan actually gives Barefoot Dreams vibes for a fraction of the price. I mean, it’s just under $19 y’all! It also comes in a neutral and a light grey. You can wear this out for sure, but I think I’ll be wearing it at home a lot as lounge wear.

If I saw this on somebody else, I would automatically think it was a Caslon piece from Nordstrom and was probably $68.

Nope, it’s from Walmart and under $20.

WHAT A SCORE.

I love it here all buttoned up, but it would of course look great worn open with a simple tee under it. For size reference I’m wearing a small.

It too is cute with both neutral denim and regular denim.

As far as I’m concerned, this is the perfect t-shirt dress. It’s a cotton jersey, and the petite medium is the perfect size for my 5’4″ frame. It’s very soft, and I love how it’s not fitted, but it’s not boxy either. I love the vibrant red, but it also comes in pink, black, taupe, and a blue and white stripe. This is a perfect dress to just throw on and go, and it would be a great travel dress.

And if the sale is still going on, you can grab it right now for under $20.

Look how cute it is styled with a denim jacket and this Beach tote!

I think this tote looks like a designer tote that you could pay $225 for at Nordstrom, BUT GET THIS… it’s under $25. It’s very well made, and in addition to this “Beach” one, you can choose one in hotter and brighter colors that either says “sunkissed” or “sun, sea, and sand”.

If you prefer a short option, then this mini t-shirt dress is for you! I LOVE IT SO MUCH. It has 200 ratings, and the great majority are 5 stars. Just like the long one above, it’s super soft and not fitted, but not boxy either. It’s well made and hangs really nicely on the body. Again, the petite medium is perfect on me.

If it’s still on sale, it’s ONLY $15!

And y’all! Look how adorable this Bon Voyage tote is. The design and colors are FABULOUS, although I do wish it was bigger. But listen, it’s only $20, so I can deal with the size. BECAUSE IT SURE IS CUTE.

Easy, breezy, and cute as can be. This swing shirt dress is super forgiving with a very relaxed fit. I’m obviously wearing the stripe here, but I think I would actually prefer the solid black or the lava (which is like a red-orange). This stripe felt a little candy striper to me, but I really liked the fit. For size reference, I’m wearing a petite medium. I think a petite small might be even better.

Okay, y’all.

I’m SO EXCITED about these next two pieces.

If I’m at home, I’m probably going to be wearing this set.

I just got it yesterday morning, I wore it all day yesterday at the house, and I walked the dogs in it too.

I’m wearing a medium, and both pieces are super roomy.

I’m actually going to keep this medium set, but I’m going to order it in a different color in smalls to see which fit I like better.

Here’s the same sweatshirt as above, but I’ve styled it with one of my favorite pairs of denim shorts. These are what I affectionately refer to as the toddler denim shorts because they have elastic on the back part of the waistband. ELASTIC! YESSSSSS! I lived in these shorts last summer and will again this summer I’m sure. For size reference, I’m in a medium.

FAVORITE SPRING ACCESSORIES

I’m absolutely in love with both of these necklaces. Both are from Amazon, both are very affordable, and both are excellent quality. And although they are awesome for spring, they will actually both work year-round.

I had a hair appointment on Tuesday, and my hair stylist (Amanda) was wearing the heart necklace. She told me she’s often disappointed with jewelry she has ordered in the past from Amazon because it looks and feels cheap, but she gave the heart necklace a shot because I was singing its praises. She LOVES it too and we agreed that it looks like a $100 necklace!

And I’m not really sure I should classify these glasses as a “spring accessory”, but it’s spring, and I find myself wearing them a good portion of every single day, SO HERE WE ARE.

This set comes with 3 glasses, 3 thin glasses cases, and a cleaner cloth.

Theu come in tons of different magnification strengths, but the +1.5 seems to be my sweet spot right now.

And here they are on…

If you’re going to get just 1 thing from the sale, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the face oil.

Face Oil #9 is possibly my most favorite product when I’m battling dry skin. My skin SOAKS IT UP and it improves both hydration and radiance. RADIANCE! My skin absolutely craves it.

I put 1 full pump in my hand with the Extreme Recovery Cream (also seen below) and apply it all over my face and neck. It hydrates and plumps like nothing else I’ve ever used. The Extreme Recovery Cream is thick, rich, and ultra-creamy. This special little cocktail is absolutely magical.
