Color for Spring

The weather is being fickle here in DC but when I get dressed for work, I’m ready for spring colors. Every morning I’m continually amazed with the high percentage of black and navy items in my wardrobe. I am now on the lookout for some printed or colorful dresses for work.

This sheath from JCrew Factory is a great multi-tasker because you could wear it to work or events or casual weddings on the weekend.

I love this printed sheath from Boden because it has a unique geometric print but it’s not too loud for work. It’s definitely a fresh take on the standard sheath.

This Nic and Zoe dress is an instant easy outfit. I would pair it with a white or tan cardigan or blazer for work.

More flowers from Lands End. I think you pair it with a neutral blazer for work, and ditch the blazer for all those showers and brunches this spring and summer.

How easy is this? The Loft is perfect for an easy wardrobe pick me up. This one is very affordable, machine washable, and a full outfit- no cardigan required. Plus, it’s easy to spice up with a colorful shoe. Done.

Shirt dresses are very very in this year. I think this is a nice breezy Friday look for the spring and summer work weeks. This one is from Banana.

It’s not work appropriate, but the denim shirt dress is a must for weekend attire this year. How can you tell? Every. Single. Store. has about five versions of it.

Weekend Wear

When it comes to shopping for clothes, I usually prioritize shopping for things I can wear to work. Ever since we had a warm spell last week, however, I just want all the shorts. Here are a few that I love:

These JCrew striped shorts are statement but cool at the same time.

I’m curious about these trendier elastic waist “boardwalk shorts” from JCrew Factory.

These fun “Richmond Shorts” from Boden would really make an outfit out of plain tee shirt and flip flops.

These Loft embroidered chambray shorts look like a great alternative to a basic jean short.

But you do need a basic jean short like these from the Loft.

How many shorts does one person need, you might ask…
