Shopping List for Spring

Well I’m in full-on Spring mode and have been thinking a lot about how to update my wardrobe for Spring. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen when I shared a few of my favorite finds.

Unfortunately, though we haven’t been getting the snow that everyone else has, it’s been freezing here in Rhode Island. I need to find ways to feel like spring while dressing like winter! ha!

It has prompted quite a shopping flurry online. Lots and lots of research. We are in the process of trying to turn our downstairs unit around after a rough eviction process so all of my free time in the last month has been taken up with painting and cleaning things in the downstairs apartment. No time to get out and shop, I’m afraid. So, online shopping only.

I’m going to be honest, a lot of these picks are from Amazon and H&M. I just can’t help it if H&M has so many good things! And lately, the draw of Amazon Prime’s free shipping and returns has prompted me to try harder at finding good Amazon deals when I can’t get out to the mall to shop.

The following represent what I’ve been looking for in the last month. I hope there are a few things here that give you some ideas for updating your spring wardrobe or save you some time tracking down something you’ve been looking for.

White Blazer

I’ve always been a fan of blazers and have recently (after I found this one) fallen in love with longer, boyfriend-style blazers. My tried-and-true white blazer (you can see it WAY back in the day…here) is still in good shape but it is no longer holding its shape as well and is more dull than it used to be. That is to be expected with white and I’m impressed it lasted as long as it has. But, it is an MVP in my work wardrobe and I believe it’s time for an upgrade. Here are some of the white blazers I’m looking at.

Pleated Midi Skirts

I have loved pleated midi skirts for a few years, but it was only last year that I finally bought one (2nd image).

I love a colorful, pleated skirt for Spring and this year I’ve seen a number of different options at a midi length. They are perfect for me to wear to work.

I have linked a LOT of them, at different price points, below.

Trench Coat

A trench coat has been on my “to buy” list since I still lived in Washington! The problem is, I never quite find the right one. And honestly, I really need to just go try some on in-store. The NY and Co one below has great reviews!

Here are some that look good to me:

A Lighter-Colored Overcoat

It’s still pretty cold here in New England so realistically, the trench coat isn’t going to keep me warm enough every day. At least, it won’t for awhile. Enter a heavier coat in softer colors. I would really like to check these options out at H&M.

Pops of Color

I am really trying to steer away from pink because I already have so much pink in my spring wardrobe. But, I also know that I love pink and there are a lot of options out there right now for pink blazers (which I don’t have).

Here are some favorite pops of color that made me excited:

So those are some of the items I’ve been looking for. What about you? What’s on your shopping list for Spring?

Thanks so much for stopping by!
