Spring Transition: Basic Staples

Happy Valentine’s Day!! What does everyone do to celebrate?  Andrew and I will be staying in! We prefer to avoid the crowds and get to sleep early. I hope you are spending it with someone special!  I also hope you had a great weekend! I went back home to Louisiana for a quick trip and it was wonderful! It was so nice seeing my family and attending a Mardi Gras ball! It sadly rained the whole day Saturday, so I didn’t get any good pictures of my dress! But I am back in Florida and so happy to be back with my hubby and sweet boy!

Today, I am talking about Spring transition and having basic staple pieces you can reach for when you don’t know what to wear.  Over the past few months, I have been really cautious of what I buy – wanting to add more staple pieces I can mix and match to wear over and over again.  I mentioned before that I used to buy whatever I thought was just cute and didn’t put any thought into what I would wear it with.  If you follow me on Instagram, you will notice I post things I can wear different ways, therefore you will sometimes see certain items reposted.  And I am totally ok with that! I am not afraid of being a repeat offender! I think you get the most of out something you buy if you can wear it different ways.  That’s where buying staples come in! I am going to show you a few different staples I am all about for the Spring.  Including this dress I picked up a few weeks ago! I had my eye on it for a while thinking about all the different ways I can wear it.  When I saw it in Nordstrom in this color, I knew I had to get it.  It’s under $50 and comes in a ton of colors! This is a dress you can easily dress up for work, take it out on a date night or wear it dressed down for weekend wear.

This next look is more of a weekend look.  I love adding denim jackets over my dresses.  I will even throw them on with a pair of white jeans and a tee.  When I was working in corporate, the office I worked in was more laid back and I could dress pretty casual.  I wore this jacket pretty much every single day.  My husband would always make a comment – oh that jacket again?! Ha! But it’s so versatile and easy to throw on with everything! The only thing I don’t wear it with is jeans.

STAPLE SPRING DRESSES

STAPLE SPRING TOPS

STAPLE SPRING JACKETS

Hopefully these options I provided will help you mix and match different pieces.  I truly believe a few of these pieces are must haves – a chambray top, a denim jacket, a white tee, a striped top and a basic black dress (the dress I am wearing today comes in black!).

Note: I did not include bottoms because that will be in a separate post! I love my denim shorts but they are not available anymore.  I have a post planned to round up the best after I try all of them on.  So maybe this post will be a series? Would ya’ll like to see more?  And as I’m writing this I am thinking how fun it would be to show you all the different ways to wear those staple pieces I listed above with bottoms.  

If there is anything else you would like to see, let me know!  I am so excited for Spring because while I do love sweaters, I can’t wait to wear lots of blues and whites around here! They are just so pretty! Ok and now I’m rambling!

Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day with your loved ones!!

He grills while I chill. Swipe to see! Ha! Yea rig He grills while I chill. Swipe to see! Ha! Yea right! Summertime front porch sitting. I just love it! 

We’ve had these rocking chairs from walmart for a few years now and I love the look of them on our front porch. We sit out here all the time when it’s not too hot. They are included in Walmart’s rollbacks! I scored his new grill on sale too and my dad loved it so much he’s getting one for himself! I also found the cutest summer outfits for me and a nice shirt and shorts for him all from Walmart! 

If you are looking for more rollbacks, I linked my favorite steamer, humidifier, similar vacuum I use daily and kids clothing in the LTK app.  #sponsored #walmartpartner #walmart

I chatted how I miss Baton Rouge and the food there! To me, there’s nothing quite like it! We took this picture after we ran into a quaint pizza place (that was new to us) to get the little guy a slice before our sushi lunch date! I wore this dress all day and then to my besties for some girl time. I would do the whole day all over again! Cheers to the weekend friends! ❤️
