With spring just around the corner, I’m dying to bring out my “springy” clothes! I seriously cannot wait to wear my shift dresses and critter shorts! While fun prints and bright colors are exciting, sometimes it’s nice to just be able to throw on a comfortable outfit, while still looking put together. I think the trick is to go back to the basics.
I’m obsessed with Gap’s Favorite T’s. They come in all types (v-neck, crew neck, etc) and lots of colors. J. Crew jeans can’t be beat. They actually carry “short” sizes, which saves on alterations or shipping costs. I just purchased the Matchstick and Bootcut jeans yesterday. LOVE THEM! Sandals or ballet flats complete the look. I prefer Jack Rogers. My feet have permanent circles on my heels from the soles of the shoes. I wear them all the time.
For extra flair, that’s still simple, I’ll add a belt, a hair ribbon, or (don’t get carried away… remember: basic!) an enamel bracelet. I really hate overdoing it with jewelry. Most days I’ll only wear pearl earrings and a pearl necklace.
Simplicity is key here! You’ll look stylish, preppy, and ultimately put together… all the while comfortable. Perfect for running mundane errands around town 🙂
I am so ready to bring out my nautical stuff (critter shorts, critter polos, I have it all!)!
Love that bracelet!

you’ve probably already seen them. But it’d be cool if you could change the monogram from the company initials to yours.
I used to have over 20 of the gap favorite tees- so many fun colors! I gave most to good will in an attempt to wear more of my “nice” clothing, but it’s still so nice just to be able to throw on a basic and head out the door.
