Part of my spring wardrobe shopping involved getting new shorts. And I pretty much hit the jackpot at Loft! Mine are all pretty old & maybe a little too short? The ones at Loft are only a half inch longer but seem to make a big difference in terms of not being booty-shorts but also not looking frumpy. It’s a fine line!

They looked quite nice all folded in my drawer this weekend. Because it may be raining & I may be headed north for spring break but darnit, my closet is ready for hot weather! That’s right folks, I switched over my wardrobe & packed away all those winter clothes. Let me tell you how depressing it was to once again put away my lovely skirts & pants that for a second winter I could not wear. Darn babies & weight gain! Luckily I have these shorts to look forward to, right?

When switching over my wardrobe the other week I noticed that I had a little collection of scarves & clutches going but that the foundation of my spring wardrobe was very much about the basics. After months of layering there’s something really fresh about having a simple jeans & tee look with a fun necklace or bright shoes, right? I think it also has to do with getting older in that the less I layer on, the better I tend to look. If you’re trying too hard to make an outfit work, it’s probably going to look it.

As for the key accessories to focus on for spring I definitely love a pastel scarf, a neutral bag with fun details, bright flats & a bold bracelet. It still looks easy & like you’re just thrown on your weekend clothes but it’s not boring. Plus you can rotate accessories easier (& for cheaper) based on trends than you can with clothing, so it’s a more budget friendly way to revamp your wardrobe!
