Must Have Basics for Spring

Nashville weather has been crazy the last few weeks, and I am so ready to be transitioning my closet for the spring season that I thought it would be the perfect topic to write about next!


COMFORTABLE TUNIC TOP

This Lush Woven Top and Free People Oversized Tunic are the perfect tunics for moving into spring. They are quarter length, yet have that flow-y airy feel that will keep you cool if the sun is blaring on you. You can throw these on with skinny jeans or leggings and boots for a cooler day, dress them up with white jeans and heels. For a much warmer day, pair them with some cut off jean shorts, strappy sandals and a statement necklace. Voila, you have three transitional outfits to take you from cool to warm.


CARDIGAN and/or BLAZER

Having a layering piece is always essential. You can then layer pieces underneath a cardigan or blazer that will cool you off if you get too hot when it heats up during the day. I personally have tons of cardigans and blazers in many colors (I may have a slight obsession), but this cardigan and this blazer are both great picks and can go with just about any outfit.This blazer from H&M is a very affordable option, and I also love this cardigan from H&M as well.



THE PERFECT TEE

So going right along with piece number two, you must have that perfect tee like this Madewell V-Neck Tee (or you can with a tank like this Free People Tank--only $20!!) to wear under the cardigan or blazer. You can also pair your tee with a scarf or a statement necklace depending on the temperature and your mood, of course.


DAY-TO-NIGHT DRESS

Every girl must have a cute little dress that she can throw on and run out the door or that she can spend hours getting ready to wear. This Midi Dress and this Asymmetrical Wrap Dress from Nordstrom are perfect. These dresses are pieces that you can pair with a cardigan or blazer or go without if the weather permits. That makes them a wonderful transition piece to have on hand!

A SCARF (or two!)

Scarves are the best way to accessorize an outfit and spice it up with different patterns and colors. They can also help keep you warm on the chillier nights! This Geo Infinity Scarf (only $18!) is so feminine and has more neutral colors so you can pair with a lot. I'm so bummed the exact one in my Instagram post is no longer available (I am obsessed with it and will keep my eye out in case it comes back!), but I also love this one and this one! There are so many options out there for you can show your personality in many different ways through one simple piece. :) 


What are your favorite spring staples?
