GETTING WILD(ER)

Animal prints have been a thing for a while now. But I have never really been big into wearing them. No matter how many spots I'd see in fashion magazines, I never felt myself when I tried them on. But lately, with all the exotic options available, there are animal-printed styles that even I can pull off. Whether it's a leopard print jacket or python boots, these newer, more muted options are perfect for the more timid print-wearers out there (like me!)

This peachy zebra and leopard print dress from Nordstrom is a perfect example. It makes a statement without screaming at you. I love it paired with a leather jacket for some added edge and it would also be cute with a denim coat for spring. This animal-print purchase was one of my firsts, but I have a feeling it won't be my last.

MUST-HAVE STAPLES

Every spring, as the ground begins to thaw out, I get very excited to switch up my wardrobe. As I get older, however, I've started buying less into the trends and more into staple styles. That being said, you can definitely still have a lot of fun putting together a classic look. So whether it's a fresh new pair of skinnies, a comfy button down, or an all-season leather jacket, today I'm sharing some of my favorites to wear this year—and beyond!

Skinnies: GRLFRND Denim/Revolve

SLIP INTO SPRING

The best alternative to skinnies right now? Slip skirts. Not only are they insanely versatile, but they are also perfectly on-trend for spring. It seems like everywhere I look at the moment, another fashion girl is rocking one, and I'm definitely here for it. Something about the shimmery fabric can give even your most basic tee a chic bit of polish. It's definitely a piece you need to add to your spring wardrobe.

Usually on the pricier side, this beauty from Morning Lavender is both affordable and flattering. Perfectly femme with a flared hem and blush shade, it's definitely going to be a staple in my spring closet. I paired it for a lunch date with a cropped striped tee to keep my look casual, but it would also be perfect with a lace tank for a more dressed up look. If you're a fan of airy fabrics and softer feminine styles, you need to check out Morning Lavender. It's one of my favorites!
