Spring Wardrobe Staples | Guest Post!

An exciting post for you today! Sara from a dose of pretty is sharing her spring wardrobe staples. Sara has such an eye for fashion and design, and I love how her pieces are classic with just the right amount of trendy! {Sara is also pregnant with her second child, a little girl. So sweet!} Enjoy!

Hello Natalie Merrillyn readers, I am Sara from a dose of pretty
I am so flattered to be here sharing my spring staples with you.
Spring is one of my favorite times of the year and I am really looking
forward to some flowering blooms and spring showers.


My latest acquisition is this handbag. I adore the color and the leather is exquisite.
I am a big fan of J.Crew jewelry as you can see. Some of the other items shown
above are: Panama hat, Rebecca Minkoff clutch, J. Crew clutch, Zara sequin clutch,


For spring I am loving neon and florals, but I also can't live without some of my neutral pieces - black leather shorts and a classic pleated skirt. The shirts (striped, gingham, chambray, and silk shirts) shown here are some of my staples that I pretty much wear all year round. I am currently
wanting to add pink and orange gingham shirts to my slow growing collection.

 

Lace and colored skinnies (coral, cobalt blue, and red) along with my cheetah skinnies
are another portion of my spring wardrobe. I hope to add some green colored skinnies 
and a pair of floral pants soon.


Layers and more layers. A classic trench coat and its forms, sleeveless and short,
are a must along with a few other basics such as a denim jacket.


Loafers, neon yellow wedges, sequin sandals, my seen-better-days Sperrys,
and neutral flats, will be seen and worn a lot during this season. I am wanting to add
a pair of metallic Sperrys to give mine a break.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my spring staples straight out of my closet
and I hope you stop by and visit me and say hello.
