Plaid for Spring

Mad for Plaid this Spring

Without fail, come fall, my internal clock starts up and I begin to crave plaid and PSLs, but with this spring’s fresh color and silhouettes incorporating plaids, I’m ready for the print now. And an iced caramel machiatto. 

Stumbling upon Spring Trends

I snagged this peplum beauty with the tie up back from Sparrow Boutique from my hometown Muskegon. And I’m obsessed with this store. I think Kristi, the owner, has such an eye for upcoming trends and I find myself trying them out by buying it at her shop first.

From camo tees to oversized floral prints to spring plaid and colored jeans/denim leggings, I’m exploring new prints and silhouettes. They also carry lines I already love like Amuse Society, very cali meets boho style and Z Supply which is all those elevated basics I can’t stock enough of in my own closet. They do an incredible job with e-commerce and their new arrivals are always posted online with occasional special promotions. Sparrow is now offering 20% off sitewide for my readers with code BB20.

Shop the Best Denim

I’m phasing out my leggings-only life now that I’m trying to have some semblance of a social life. And I’ve been stocking up on new jeans that actually fit well.

I love these high waist crop raw edge skinny jeans, still such a sucker for a cropped jean, exposing my ankles and a raw edge! I tried on these Just Black high rise jeans from Sparrow and loved the fit and price (just $64 and they fit and feel like premium denim line!) And naturally, I love Madewell’s denim especially these 10 inch rise skinnies and these 9 inch rise skinnies.

And I suppose it’s not too soon to start talking denim shorts. I love these affordable ones by Levis (have a few already), One Teaspoon is probably my favorite line of shorts since the openings of the legs aren’t restricting on these thighs of mine (especially this pair) and I’ve heard great things about these AGOLDE shorts, they’re a little longer and I suppose I should start transitioning to these ones now that I’m old.

Shop Plaid!

I’m on the hunt for more plaid to incorporate into my closet this season and a few favorites include this super sweet checkered ruffle top by BB Dakota, this gingham print mini dress (SWOON) and I’m such a sucker for a matching top and short set–this seriously is the cutest thing ever. I’m pretty sure I need it. Madewell is always good for some great plaid print like these wide leg crop pants or this white oversized button up shirt that just looks so feminine and pretty.
