Spring Style Essentials with Nordstrom

There are a few pew pieces that are spring style essentials. Items that are closet must haves and can be mixed and matched with just about anything! Today, I am sharing some of my spring style essentials with Nordstrom!

Outfit – Tank // Cardigan // Linen Joggers // Espadrille Sneakers // Bag

There are a few essential pieces that I make sure my closet has from season to season. With the stay at home order, these essentials look a little different this spring! I’ve been on the hunt for the best basics that can be worn for lounging around the house and out and about.

Nordstrom is always my first stop when it’s time for a wardrobe refresh each season. They have a wide selection of items to choose from and I love finding the seasons best trends and classic closet staples all in one place! Not to mention, they have amazing customer service and their everyday free shipping makes ordering online a breeze.

When it comes to spring staples, there is one piece that is an ABSOLUTE MUST…a lightweight cardigan. I snag a new one every year that I end up wearing on repeat because I find that it goes with everything!

This year, I grabbed this one and I have to say I’m obsessed! It’s the perfect length and weight, making it a great option for layering. It comes in a bunch of color options, but I went with a neutral pick that I know I could pair with most of my closet. It will be easy to dress up or down, but has currently been great for working from home! See all the ways I styled it below!

Comfy shorts and joggers have been another one of my essentials! I am especially loving the linen options because of how easy they are to wear around the house and out the door! This pair is my current fave. They are so lightweight and easy breezy, that I’ve been wearing them to work from home. I can’t wait to wear them in the classroom when I go back to work and think they would be great for travel too!

As it starts to warm up, shorts are a must. I don’t know about you, but lounging around the house in denim shorts really isn’t the best option. I will be opting for soft, flexible options like this pair. They are comfy enough to spend hours at my desk in zoom meetings, but cute enough to make it out of the house! I am also loving the tie and paperbag waist of this pair!

Forever 21 Spring Haul

Spring has arrived and that means shorts and sandal weather is finally here! Today I am sharing a recent Forever 21 spring haul, filled with the cutest new arrivals. Pieces you can wear for lounging, as you stay home and do your part during this epidemic, and out and about later this season!

Outfit 1 – Knit Tank // Linen Striped Shorts

I have been shopping at Forever 21 for YEARS! It’s one of the first places I go when updating my wardrobe from season to season. I love that they carry the cutest, on trend pieces at prices that don’t break the bank, making it so easy to refresh your wardrobe from season to season.

When I made my seasonal visit to Forever21.com, I looked for pieces I could lounge around in now and wear out and about later this spring and summer. Because I’ve been spending all of my time at home, comfy shorts and knit tanks were the first pieces I added to my cart. I don’t know about you, but I want to feel comfortable, and yet still cute while working from home! Forever 21 has tons of options that fit this category. Items that work for lounging, but can easily be mixed and matched with the rest of your closet when quarantine ends.

These linen shorts are one of my favorite finds, so nice I bought them twice (or in two colors!). They are lightweight and so perfect for working from home. I’ve been wearing them with my favorite graphic tees and slippers, but plan on pairing them with cute knit tanks and espadrilles. This knit tank is a perfect contender. It’s comfy and has a flattering fit, and looks just as cute with loungewear joggers as it does with denim!

Outfit 2 – Maxi Dress

When it heats up, I love wearing dresses around the house! They are comfy and breezy, especially when it is hot! This option is stunning! The vibrant color combo is cheery and instantly brightened my mood when I put it on (don’t you love when that happens?). I can see myself pairing this with a denim jacket and wearing it in classroom when I finally get to go back to work!

Outfit 3 – Striped Knit Tank // Twill White Shorts

I have been wearing these twill shorts so much lately! They are NOT SEE THROUGH, which is hard to find in a great pair of white shorts! I love that they are pull on and high waisted, making them a comfy lounge contender. Clearly I’ve been loving the knit tanks, but this one was hard to pass by! I love the stripes and how lightweight it is. Despite being knit, it is so breezy and perfect for the temp changes ahead!

Outfit 4 – Sheer Top // Cami // Shorts

This gorgeous sheer top is not something I will be wearing around the house, but is a piece I look forward to wearing on a future date night. I fell for the ruffle sleeves and the sheer fabric (I paired it with this cami). It’s a flattering little number that makes me feel like a million bucks and is exactly what I want to wear when I can finally go on a dinner date with my boo!

The shorts I paired with it are another pair that work for working from home! They come in a ton of colors and are so soft and easy to move in. I like the sweet little belt, but would dress them up by swapping it out for a leather option.

Outfit 5 – Ribbed Tank // Striped Linen Shorts

Last but not least, this tank is another favorite find. I love the tighter fit, which gives it that bodysuit look without the inconvenience of a bodysuit. It has the cutest ruffle detailing on the bottom, which can easily be tucked in (as worn here), or left out, making it a versatile option. These shorts are the prettiest shade of coral and are so fun for spring and summer. I love shorts like this for days at the lake!

Walmart Finds Under $35

Last week I shared a try on via stories with finds from Walmart under $35. I’m OBSESSED with the pieces I picked up and thought it was only appropriate that I shared them here too! I found so many great closet staples at prices that won’t break the bank! In fact, you can snag ALL the pieces I’m sharing today for a whopping $14o! Check out my faves below!

Tee // Jeans // Heeled Sandals

White Tee (Size: Medium // Price: $6): This white tee is only $6 and the quality is so good! It definitely reminds me of one of my basic white tee’s that was 4 times the price! I ended up sizing up so I could easily knot it and because I like the oversized fit!

Skinny Jeans (Size: 2 // Price: $17 ): Say hello to the MOST flattering jeans under $20…and yes, I said $20! I was so pleasantly surprised with the fit of this pair! From the dark wash to the higher waist and the minimal distressing, this denim reminds me of one of my favorite designer pairs.

Heeled Sandals (Size: 7 – tts // Price: $32 ): I was so excited about this heeled sandal find. I had been wanting a similar pair, but hadn’t wanted to fork over the large hunk of cash for them. These hit the sweet spot at just $32 and they are SO GOOD! They come in 4 different colors, have the perfect heel height and are comfortable enough to withstand a day on your feet in a classroom!

Polka Dot Crop Top // Jeans // Heeled Sandals 

Polka Dot Crop Top (Size: Small // Price: $13 ): I shared a similar top a few months ago and it sold out so fast! I was excited to find this option that was half the price! This little top is slightly cropped and looks so cute with high waisted bottoms. It can be worn on or off the shoulders and also comes in a pretty shade of grey!

Mini Dress // Heeled Sandals

Mini Dress (Size: Small // Price: $8): This is summer’s perfect LBD! This cutie can be dressed up or down and looks like it was double the price. In reality, this mini is only $8! Hands down my favorite find!

Off the Shoulder Dress // Sandals 

Off the Shoulder Dress (Size: Small // Price: $13.50): I picked up this sweet midi dress because I thought it would be the perfect swimsuit cover up! Its light-weight and flowy and can be worn on or off the shoulders. This is a comfy piece that would be great for your next vacay! Note: It is slightly see-thru, but nothing some nude undergarments can’t fix!

Sandals (Size: 7 – tts // Price: $28): If you buy ONE thing from Walmart, let it be these $28 sandals. I had an almost identical pair in my cart for $100 when I saw these and I am so glad I went with them! They are so well made and so comfortable! The perfect summer sandal!

Swing Dress // Chambray // Sandals

Swing Dress (Size: Small // Price: $10): This little swing dress is SO comfortable! It’s one of those pieces that you can throw on and go. It can be dressed up or down and is something I will wear to the classroom. Plus, it has pockets!

Top // Bottoms 

PJ Set (Size: Small (both top and bottoms) // Price: Top $5 – Bottoms $6): I wore this comfy pj set in the black at the RewardStyle Conference and loved it so much I snagged it in a few more colors. I can’t even tell you how soft this pj set is! And to make things even better, both pieces are currently on sale, making this set a total of $11!!

Spring Wardrobe Refresh with Walmart

Look 1: Dress (Also comes in red) // Heeled Sandals

Look 2: Dress // Chambray Top // Sneakers

Look 3: Tee // Striped Pants // Sandals

Spring is in full swing and I’ve officially swapped out my winter gear for spring pieces! Just like with any new season, I was excited to add some new staples into my spring and summer clothing rotation. I was on the hunt for some comfy but cute pieces that I could easily transition from the classroom to the weekend and I hit the jackpot at Walmart!

Walmart has seriously stepped up their fashion game and recently has become one of my go to’s. I love that I can find clothing I feel good in, is flattering and doesn’t break the bank! Walmart’s newest campaign, We Dress America, speaks to those same sentiments, offering clothing that is unique, on trend, affordable and inclusive.

 As I mentioned, I found SO many goodies when shopping the Walmart site! From dresses to sandals, I picked up some great pieces to refresh my wardrobe for spring!

This little dress was one of my favorite finds, as it reminds me of a much pricier option. I paired it with the most comfortable and cute heeled sandals that will go with everything! The ultimate little swing dress is another comfy and cute spring option. What I love about this piece is that it is PERFECT for the classroom and is so easy to dress up or down. It’s a great little weekend dress when paired with some sneakers! A basic white tee and pants combo is another great option for work or the weekend. I can’t wait to to take these pants on vacay. They will be perfect for a beach getaway!
