Spring Jacquard

It can be tricky to navigate the sporadic spring weather – there’s random blustery days, unexpected drops in temperature and sudden rain showers (or snow, if you live in NY!).  One of my favorite ways to get the most out of my closet during this time of year is to do some light layering with shells.  It may not yet be warm enough to wear these short-sleeve tops on their own, but I can extend my wardrobe further by pairing them with button-down shirts & blouses.  

You can make this office appropriate by styling with cropped trousers or a pencil skirt and dress it down with more casual pieces & denim for the weekend.  (Styling tip: this works best with button-down shirts/blouses made from thin materials like cotton or silk and with shell tops that have a bit of weight and/or structure to them.)  Take a look at some additional examples below & let me know if you give it a try!

Are we all still getting dressed up tomorrow night Are we all still getting dressed up tomorrow night even though we’re not going out?! (asking for a friend 😜)

Today you turn 17 and I can hardly believe the bea Today you turn 17 and I can hardly believe the beautiful young woman that I see before me ❤️ 

When I asked for your birthday wish list, the first item you wrote was “money to build care packages for the homeless” 😭 After all these years, I shouldn’t be surprised because that’s just who you are. 

Our lives became sunnier, happier and more joy-filled the day you were born...and you’ve been spreading that light everywhere you go ever since.

Even though it’s hard for me to think that we only have another year and a half with you at home, I know you are going to do great things & truly leave your mark in this world.

And I’ll be the one in the front row cheering the loudest 💕
