Spring has (almost) sprung, and I am looking forward to leaving the dreary cold and freak LA snowstorms behind. Instead, I’m focused on fun, colorful pieces that I can work into my wardrobe easily. Lucky for me, color is everywhere this spring! Think patent leather red heeled Mary Janes, a petal pink blazer, or a woven raffia tote for carrying all the essentials. Below, shop everything on our editor wishlist for spring.
Floral Dress: Florals for spring? Groundbreaking, I know. But after the stretch of bad weather we’ve had just about everywhere, it sounds nice to put on a pretty dress and be out and about in spring sunshine. I love this Alice and Olivia maxi dress, and Mille’s bohemian orange sherbert colored twirly dream.
Fun Shoes: Yes, it’s fun to be practical with black ballet flats or heeled boots, but ever since I saw these cherry red patent leather Carel heeled Mary Janes, I’ve been feeling a lot less practical. Frances Valentine’s low-heeled mule with Kelly green and white leather are just as comfortable, stylish, and unexpected.
Swap Out Essentials For Something A Little More Extra: Instead of going with a regular neutral, swap out your navy and black tops for a pretty hot pink cashmere sweater from J.Crew. Call it Barbiecore if you want, we just call it fun. And of course, we all love our white button downs, but get a little dressier with this Alice and Olivia lace white blouse. I want to wear with slouchy boyfriend jeans and the red Carels up above for a French-y, femme vibe.
Textured Purse: A new bag is an easy way to breath new life into your wardrobe, and there are two ones I have my eye on for this season. This Hereu bag is dark brown chocolate and a bit more transitional, while this cream Dragon Diffusion woven leather tote looks all the way ahead to summer.
Unexpected Tailoring: While twirly skirts and dresses feel expected for spring, what about a sleekly tailored suit in a sweet pink color? Veronica Beard’s double breasted blazer comes with fun silver buttons, like built in jewelry. J.Crew’s new signature silhouette, the capeside chino, is a fresh take on a preppy classic.
Splurge-y But Worth It Accessory: Look, sometimes you just want a brand new petal pink Gucci belt.
