It may surprise you to know that I haven't done a lot of shopping since coming to London. So, since I've only had access to more of a smaller wardrobe, I've been getting creative with the same pieces. I'd thought I'd show you my go-to outfits for the spring, and I hope they give you some inspiration if you feel like you're in a fashion rut. In addition, I'll give you my #1 tip for never feeling like you have nothing to wear! (Also, I'm gonna go ahead and address the horrible setup of this lookbook: I'm too scared to take pictures alone outside, and I don't have a photographer SO this is what we're stuck with for now. I'll do one this summer that's better - I promise!) One of my favorite ways to make an outfit a little more quirky is to incorporate some fun socks. I'm pretty sure these are from Target but I can't find a link to give you! I like the pop of color that the turtleneck gives the first outfit, and having a cropped jean jacket instead of a baggier one makes it a little more classy. If you have a jean jacket preference, let me know! For the second outfit, the mock neck striped tank adds a little more visual interest than a regular top would. I can't wait to swap the jeans for high rise shorts. This turtleneck has become one of my favorite pieces. I literally wear it all the time. I really like wearing this satin tank over it to add another texture to the look, and of course, wearing funky socks ups the fun factor! If you're somewhere that's finally getting warm, you can switch the turtleneck for a tee shirt. I haven't been able to wear this one yet since it's still too chilly for short sleeves, but I'm definitely gonna wear it when the weather gets warmer. Super simple, also kind of patriotic. #Murica. These two are more girly options. Midi skirts are super popular right now, and pairing it with a tee shirt tones it down. I actually wore this to church last week, and even though it is more of a statement than I normally wear, the fact that I wore it and didn't care what other people thought made me feel so powerful.
I LOVE the color and the cold shoulder details of the sweater in the second outfit! You can definitely swap the skirt for jeans and throw a jacket on top if you want. I've been really into cooler colors since figuring out I'm cool toned, so I would add my green utility jacket. So...as promised, here's my favorite way to make sure going in my closet always feels like shopping. On my Pinterest, I made a section under my Fashion board called I Actually Own This, and when I know I love a certain piece of clothing, I just look up "black turtleneck outfits" or "midi skirt outfits" and save them to the board! So many different options come up and I've gotten so much inspiration. From there, I can see if there's a particularly trendy combination with pieces I already have, or it gives me inspiration for what to buy in the future! I hope you liked this! Tag me in your spring ootd posts, I wanna see them all. :)

AuthorI am a September baby, which may be the root of my love for fall. I love dark chocolate, popcorn, and I do actually like brussel sprouts. I'm the kind of person that listens to a Christmas song in September. (But only one. I don't want to ruin the ~magic~). Archives
