Happy Wednesday, Ladies!
Today is all about a handful of spring closet essentials.
I’ve got a perfect white tee, a great pair of skinny jeans (skinny jeans forever!), some white sneakers that everybody needs, and 3 adorable layers totally made for the change of the seasons.
Let’s dive right in!

STRIPED CARDIGAN
This striped cardigan would be a great addition to just about any closet. It’s lightweight, a great mid-length, and a classic look.
It’s great worn casually with a white tee, denim, and sneakers…
But it’s also definitely nice enough to be paired with slacks or a pencil skirt for the office. You could also throw it over a little black dress. It’s a super affordable basic that’s on sale for just under $30 right now!
For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

A great white v-neck tee is absolutely a wardrobe essential. This one is 100% cotton (a substantial pima cotton), and although I haven’t washed mine yet, other reviewers report that it holds up great in the wash. It’s not boxy, but it’s not fitted either. It just skims the body and is a perfect layering piece. It does run a bit large. For size reference, I’m wearing a small regular (it also comes in tall sizes).
This tee comes in 30 colors, and right now it’s Buy One Get One Half Off!

I’ve been wearing straight leg jeans a lot lately, and when I do, I always get asked if skinny jeans are out.
The short answer is HECK NO.
I love mixing things up with straight leg jeans, with boyfriend jeans, with girlfriend jeans, etc…
But skinny jeans will always be a staple in my wardrobe (and my heart). 😉
I think they are almost always flattering, and if I have a blousy top or sweater, then skinny jeans are always the best choice to balance the outfit out.
These jeans are officially called “jeggings”, but I think of them as just very stretchy (and comfy) denim! They’ve got a real button and a real zipper, which makes them jeans in my book. I’m wearing the medium wash in a 7short. For size reference, I’m 5’4″ with long legs for my height.
And great news, they are on sale for just under $25 right now!

A super cute outfit that’s chock full of great basics.

RAIN JACKET
In this 2nd outfit, the tee, the jeans, and the sneakers are all the same.
I just switched out the cardi for this Kelly green raincoat. It makes me happy!

Spring often brings a good number of rainy days in my neck of the woods, and a raincoat like this is perfect for running around town in the middle of a spring shower. In fact, an adorable raincoat is similar to super cute rain boots for me… all I need is a very small chance of rain in the forecast to break this baby out.
It’s obviously water resistant and you can zip it up and snap it closed as well. It’s got an internal inner bungee drawstring waistband, and the hood is removable. It also comes in a light grey and a soft lilac. But y’all know this Kelly green spoke to me. Loudly.
For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

It’s so cute all zipped up and snapped up as well.

I appreciate pockets, and it has side pockets as well as these large front flap pockets.

And if it really starts coming down, you’ve got a hood!

The hood is removable, so you can always take it off if you wish.

I. LOVE. THIS. COAT.

These are my 2nd pair of bright white Shoreline Converse to own. I bought my first pair probably 5 or so years ago and absolutely wore the heck out of them. They have thousands of 5 Star Reviews, and I have to agree. They are definitely a spring and summer staple. True to size for me.

But seriously, when is it supposed to rain?

CABLE KNIT CARDIGAN
It’s my firm belief that you can never go wrong with a cardigan, especially when transitioning between seasons.

This cardi is a beautiful soft blue that’s a really fresh spring color.

Other spring colors it comes in are coral, green, and ivory. It’s mid weight and quite generously sized. I’m wearing a small and there’s still quite a bit of room. I actually think an x-small would be better.

Here’s another look at the jeans. They are a classic skinny jean, but with a whole lot of stretch! Again, I’m wearing the 7short.

They are super comfy and super flattering.

And these sneaks are ones you’ll reach for all the time to wear with jeans, shorts, dresses, and skirts! You’re going to love them.

You can’t get much more simple or classic than a great tee, a great pair of jeans, and a cardi with sneakers.
