spring basics: clothes




I'm all about simplicity and comfort when it comes to clothes. Because of my love for simplicity, I tend to have a signature outfit for every season. I think that it's important to find any outfit that you are comfortable in and feel confident in and you can always spice it up from there. Here are a couple items that I think will quickly become my staples for this spring.

1. A warm scarf is an essential to spring in Baltimore. I particularly love tapestry scarf that you can find at open air markets or at train stations. These two have been staples in my wardrobe since I bought them.  I think they add that unique edge to an outfit because no one else will have an scarf quite like yours. 


2. V-neck tees have been a go to item for me since I discover Target boyfriend t-shirt. They have just enough of a v to show off any necklace but not too low that you have to wear a tank top underneath. I think v-neck t-shirt are perfect for causal days out for that sleek but effortless look. I have also recently pick up this v-neck from T.J. Maxx's which has a subtle pattern to it which adds a little bit of flair to a plain shirt.

3. I discovered Superga when I was living in Florence when I was college. While I didn't buy any while I was there, I feel in love with the look of them. I snatch up these last years and they have quickly became my go-to causal shoe. 

4. Now this jacket from JCrew I had been eyeing up for about a year before I caught it on sale at an outlet store. The Downtown Field Jacket was a great investment for this upcoming spring. While it is on the pricer side, I think this jacket goes with any outfit and adds that carefree look that I look. I will defiantly be sporting this often this spring.

5. This is a first for me in a couple of years but jeans are my go to bottoms for me right now. Normally, I'm that girl that lives in leggings with skirts, dress, and long sweaters, but lately I have been loving the classic look of jeans. I think they are easy to go from day to night with the change of footwear and a jacket. Currently, I've been loving American Eagle's Skinny Jean in the Dark Indigo Wash. They have the right amount of stretch to be comfortable for all day wear but don't stretch out after one day of wear.
