Catching Spring Fever

Big Bangles
My arms will be buff for summer with all the bulky wood, horn, and enamel bangles I’ll be sporting for spring. Bangles and cuffs are an easy, fun, and cheap way to incorporate trends into spring outfits. I’m also looking to incorporate less-bulky handcrafted and organic looking cuff bracelets that will work by day or night and for many seasons and years to come—like this one by Hovey Lee Herrera.

Light Jacket
I need a practical and pulled-together light jacket to see me through spring’s showers. I’ve been tempted to buy a bright little bomber jacket to give my floaty florals and sheers a little edge, but I’m wondering if cropped trench by Michael Kors would make more sense with my wardrobe. It’s a classic style with a nod to the hot safari-trend, and the modern cropped length will work beautifully with anything in my wardrobe and my schedule for spring.

Tank Tops
A tank top is a mainstay in my wardrobe year round and I’ll usually toss and restock my white-tank drawer every spring. This year, I want to stock up on tanks of every color and hue to easily slap my other bits and pieces up to date, so I’ll be hitting basics headquarters a.k.a American Apparel for tanks in reds, greens, blues, pinks, and maybe even whites. My wardrobe and wallet will tank me!
