Today I am bringing you a whole host of spring favorites! It has taken me so long to find a number of the items listed here and I’m so happy to share them with you! Ever since the sun started returning to the Seattle area I’ve been looking for clothing items and accessories to brighten up my work wardrobe. Spring doesn’t mean you have to throw out your dark clothing staples. Just add some nude accessories or a floral pop and you’re set!

I’ve been looking for just the right floral tunic since last spring. Every time I find one it’s either too expensive, the wrong color for my skin tone or has a floral pattern that is too big. This one, however, is just so perfect! SheIn.com is a retailer I’ve ordered from a number of times and though I haven’t had great luck with any bottoms I’ve ordered from their site, I have had great luck with tunics. This one comes in multiple colors, is a nice light material, and fits wonderfully when I sized up. (Often on this site I order a size up unless the reviews say otherwise.) It’s the perfect floral tunic for work, since it’s long enough to either wear with skinny jeans or to tuck in to a skirt! I keep finding more and more items from Shein that are great for spring and summer too. I will link some of them below!

Then, I have been wanting some nude accessories for spring. I can add them to black pants to balance out a light top. In reality, I’ve wanted a pair of nude pumps for work for the last two years. I have kept my eye on stores like Ross and TJMaxx to see if I could find the right pair. Often the heels are too tall to be comfortable wearing all day at work or the color just isn’t quite right. When my husband told me I could order a pair of shoes after working so long and hard on our taxes this year (hey, I saved us a couple hundred dollars by doing it myself rather than taking it to H&R Block!) I knew that adding a pair of Nude heels to my wardrobe was a priority. I read a lot of reviews and ordered these. I…LOVE…them!! They are the most comfortable pair of pumps I have ever owned. They have a cushion under the ball of the foot and padding in the back that hugs my heel. They fit like a glove! If you try them, make sure to order a 1/2 size down. I did and they fit perfectly!

Finally, I needed a lighter colored purse to go with my spring colors and when I spotted this one on Shopstyle, I ordered it immediately. It’s a great, affordable option for those who love this Chanel quilted purse. It’s definitely smaller, but it is big enough to hold a pair of sunglasses, a phone, some makeup and a few other items. It was much bigger inside than I expected and I love it. It pairs wonderfully with the new heels! Nude accessories are such a fun way to dress up key basics for spring!

Any teachers out there? I don’t know about you, but isn’t the first day back from Spring Break just an avalanche of “things.” One day back and I’m already exhausted! But, my oh my, the weather was just stupendous over break. Though I ended up working through quite a bit of my break, I loved being able to get outside and even shoot some shots with the hubby.

Especially with the sun out, I’m itching for it to be summer already. I’m working on updating my wardrobe to feature more spring colors but I have to work with what I already have. I know I’ve worn this pleated pink skirt before, but I wanted to make it wearable at work. The best pieces in my closet are ones that I can dress up for a special night and dress comfortably for a day at work. Pleated skirts are great for that.

Spring wardrobe colors to me mean pink, white, yellow, mint and baby blue. Since I’ve had this blue oxford (outfit staple!) since my fall “back to school” shopping, it was an easy addition to my spring palette. The exact shirt I am wearing is sold out, but I’ve linked similar below and also a plain blue version of the one I’m wearing. The one I’m wearing has a great cut, making it fitted and flattering. I find a more fitted shirt is best to pair with a more full skirt, like this pleated pink skirt, to balance out the look.

Speaking of balancing out the look, I am in love with my new Monogram Necklace from Jane. Most monogram necklaces are super expensive but Jane’s was affordable enough that I took the plunge and I’m so glad I did. I wear it with everything, and we’re in luck because they JUST put them back on today!

What do you think? Do you have some date night pieces that you can make wearable at work? Let me know in the comments below!

Spring Break Casual Off-the-Shoulder

I am finally on Spring Break! And let me tell you, teachers look forward to spring break as much as students! In this season where my students and I are pressing on towards the goal of the AP Exam at the beginning of May, we all need a little break. It’s time for some casual clothes and some walks in the sun!

I bought this off-the-shoulder top to go with my Valentine’s Date Outfit, but it didn’t come in time. Then, it sold out so I didn’t want to post it. However, it is now back in stock and there are really similar tops out there right now so I thought I’d give you an idea of how I wore this during my own casual, down time. I’d never wear this outfit to work, but it’s Spring Break, and why not!? Plus, just like last summer, off-the-shoulder tops are everywhere this spring. I love this one because the ruffle on top adds a second layer over the chest area and is flattering on the arms.

It was such a nice day when we needed to shoot these photos that my husband and I decided to take a walk at one of the local wetlands. It was the perfect weather for a straw fedora and aviators! The great thing about this off-the-shoulder top is that it can be dressed up with a skirt or dressed down with a pair of jeans or jean shorts. The casual outfit and walk through the trees was just what I needed to get in the Spring Break spirit. What are your favorite things to do on break? Let me know in the comments!
