Style Me Springtime

Spring is only a few weeks away and I can feel the urge emerging to shop, shop, shop! Nothing could be more dangerous in my life right now than indulging my need for speed in the boutiques and malls of America. I live only a few short hours away from my shopping mecca of Chicago, Illinois. The brilliant skyscrapers, the Mag Mile, Giordano's pizza, Millennium Park, the museums, the Cubbies - I hear them calling me to a vacation by the sea (or lake... whatever)! My favorite stores in Chicago are the two and three story versions of my good old standards - Forever 21 & Gap have clearance floors which I adore. While I have heard the American Girl Store is a wonderland of fun and beauty, I  am ashamed to say that I have yet to visit it.

The point is, I feel the need to shirk off these sweaters and coats and adorn myself in comfy t-shirts, skirts, and flip flops. I have done a little searching and found some looks that I want to try for the spring. "Out with the old and in with the new," some would say, but the key to any great wardrobe makeover is either winning a $10, 000 shopping spree or finding fresh ideas to help you rework what you already have. Below are some of the looks I am feeling today via my favorite websites to browse for the new and interesting.

J. Crew Suckered Plaid
J. Crew Mari-Time Stripe Blazer



J. Crew Astrid Shift Dress
J. Crew Bellflower Tweed Pencil Skirt
Target Bermuda Shorts

















J.Crew, Target, and Old Navy usually uncover great new styles each season. I love these pieces for the transition into spring.





For a night out on the town, every girl needs a cute skirt or dress to show off those shy legs that have been hiding from winter's winds. Dare to let them out in the warm spring weather!

Share your favorite spring looks!
I need more inspiration people!

  1. I am right there with you! Spring Fever! Unfortunately in NC, the weather has not made up it's mind yet. We've had 70's a few days and then back to 50's a few days later with 20 degree nights :0(
    I am a Target junkie and have been perusing their site looking for cute spring items that are also professional so that I can wear them to work.
