J. Crew Factory Casual, Winter OOTD

Happy Friday!  It’s been awhile since our last blog post.  Honestly we’ve been feeling a bit uninspired lately.   This time of the year can be a bit hard for us fashion-wise.  Winter starts to feel long and we end up feeling like we wear the same outfits and shoes on repeat.  Hopefully we’ll get back into posting blog posts consistently very soon!

On another note- we’re at that awkward time in the year where you want to start shopping for spring, yet it’s still really cold outside(at least if you live somewhere where it truly feels like winter).  I’ve definitely been tempted to start shopping for spring clothes, but I’ve resisted since spring is nowhere near in sight for me.  You’ll find me bundled up in sweaters for at least another month.  Since I’m still wearing winter clothes and will be for awhile, today I’m sharing with you another cozy, winter outfit.

Winter Fashion Must-Haves

We are well into the winter season, which also happens to be my least favorite season.  Sorry all of you winter lovers!  I love the holiday season, but once that’s over I’m ready for the snow and cold to go away.  During the winter months, I find I get into a bit of a fashion rut eventually as well.  With living in Minnesota, I feel like I’m stuck wear the same few pairs of shoes (boots/booties) because I don’t want to ruin my other ones with the salt.  Then I end up having my go-to sweaters, vests, and leggings that are on repeat because they are what’s most comfortable, yet warm.  The rest of my clothes are left neglected.  Anyone else find themselves in a fashion rut during the winter?

This winter, I’m trying really hard not to fall completely into my usual fashion rut.  Some weeks when it’s really cold, it does happen.  However, I feel like I’m doing better at switching up my outfits.  If you find yourself needing some winter fashion inspiration, I hope you’ll get it in today’s post.  I’m going to share with you my winter fashion must-haves.  The fashion picks I’m sharing with you are the things that I find myself reaching for again and again because I love them so much.  To shop any of these items, simply click the title below the image.

Spring Fashion Goodies

It’s that time of the year, where I start getting antsy to buy new spring clothes (even though I have plenty of clothes)!  I had done pretty well at holding off, but now that it’s actually getting a bit warmer here in the Midwest I decided it was time to get a start on my spring shopping.  Over the past week or two, I’ve done a little online shopping and shopping at my local mall as well.  Let’s get into the fun part- what I bought!

Store: J. Crew Factory

When I saw this shirt online, I knew I had to have it and in more than one color!  I love that it’s light weight, has the scalloped bottom, and comes in pretty spring colors.  I can definitely see myself wearing these two shirts a lot this spring and summer.  I was also lucky enough to purchase these shirts when J. Crew Factory had a 30% off coupon code online.  You can see this shirt here.

Store: Red Dress Boutique

After searching for weeks and weeks (it seemed like), I finally found the perfect Easter dress!  I like that this dress isn’t too short and it also has pockets.  The color is great too for Easter.  Since it won’t be too warm where I live on Easter, I’ll wear a white cardigan over this dress if I get cold.  Here is the dress on the website.  Unfortunately it’s out of stock right now, but I have seen this dress in other colors on different online boutiques!

Store: Francesca’s 

I went shopping at this boutique over the weekend a picked a few great spring pieces.  I was also lucky enough that it ended up being Buy One Get One 50% off mix and match.  I got four things so two of my items were 50% off, which was a great deal.

I love the sleeves on this top, as well as the color.  I’m thinking I might wear this shirt or one of the other shirts I got from here to my boyfriend’s Easter on Saturday.  You can find this top here.

I was instantly in love with this shirt when I tried it on in the store.  I really love the color of it and it’s so soft and comfy!   I think this is going to be one of my favorite tops.  It can be found here.

This top is really soft as well.  I like the pattern on it and think it’s another perfect top for spring!  Here is this top.

These earrings just seemed perfect for spring!  I wanted to get a pair of earrings that  was quite different from the earrings I have already.  This pair is definitely different from anything I have.  I think they are so pretty.  They look even better in person and on the website so make sure you click this link to see the coloring better!

Store: Bauble Bar

I’ve been browsing the Bauble Bar website for awhile now, but had never made a purchase.  I saw that the first weekend of spring they were having a promo code for 30% off so I thought that was the perfect time to make my first purchase.

I’m so excited about this necklace and earrings.  This necklace will be able to go with so much and really dress up a lot of my shirts!  I’ve been wanting this style of earrings for awhile now so I’m really happy that I finally have a pair.  I really can’t wait to wear both of these.  I can’t find the necklace online anymore, but the earrings can be found here.

That wraps up my spring haul.  I hope this post has given you some spring inspiration for your shopping.  Let me know, which item or items you like best in a comment below!

Enjoy your day!
