Casual Friday: Spring is here

March 20, 2015 20 comments1948 views

Spring is here! At least according to my calendar. Weather-wise, Michigan still has a way to go.

I celebrated spring with a pop of bright pink lipstick and a bright green belt, but temperatures – in the high 40’s and low 50’s – have been dictating that I stick to my sweaters and pants routine. I hit on this a bit last Friday, but I really do think sweaters are underrated in the spring. I know most climates can ease into sundresses and cardigans with ease, but Michigan will not let me do that, as eager as I am for bare legs and free toes.

I probably shouldn’t complain too much, because at this time last year, the ground was still covered in a blanket of snow and I was still covered in, well, a blanket.

Luckily, like I mentioned last week, retailers are eager for festival fashion and pushing any remaining winter stock out for super cheap. This sweater was less than $5 at Loft, originally priced at close to $50! I feel like I practically stole it.

I’ve been loving on my vintage gold locket since I got it fixed last week. It was gifted to me at birth by my mom, and I’m so glad I can wear it again! And, as always, my Dagne gets tons of love. I haven’t used a different tote since I got it.

Which begs the question: what level of monotony is OK for a piece in your wardrobe? Do you have rules you follow when picking out your outfits for the week? Excluding sunglasses, accessories, purses and outerwear, I try not to wear the same piece twice in a week, and I try not to wear the same outfit twice in a month.

I’m eager to hear your wardrobe advice and styling suggestions. Leave it in the comments, and happy Fri-yay!

  4. Love these photos! I absolutely love the details with the accessories! Because I wear a specific uniform at work, it’s easy for me to not worry about wearing the same thing more than once a week. The only time I have for my cute clothes is on the weekends.

    1. Thanks! I’m not a huge accessory person since rings and bracelets get in the way while I type at work and earrings make talking on the phone a pain, so I barely own any! And that’s such a bummer, but I guess it makes dressing for the weekends that much more special!

  7. The sweater looks great! I love the way you paired it with the white jeans. I’m so happy its finally springtime again! Ohio also has a ways to go with the weather, but hey I will take 50 degrees over 20!

  9. Ah I can’t believe you found that sweater for $5! What a great deal! As for my outfit routine… well I have to admit, on plain jane school days I will wear my favorites all the time. :p My blog wouldn’t be very exciting if I posted what I actually wear every day.

    1. My thrift stores are not as fab as yours (downfall of living in a college town) so I have to take mad advantage of great sales! And same. I either repeat outfits so often or wear cardigans and jeans every day, so I can’t really post what I actually wear every day, haha. #lame.
