Spring Style Agenda

As the seasonal shift unfolds, a sense of excitement is pulsing through me. I’ve been craving those beautiful mornings and sun-drenched afternoons when you suddenly realize it’s too warm for a coat. Or those rainy grey days when the air smells so fresh you can taste the raindrops. And with daylight savings here, we’ve found ourselves on the brink of a blooming spring season and that much closer to gorgeous weather.

In the pursuit of curating my staple wardrobe, I’ve been meticulously assembling a collection of new pieces, cultivating a very distinct vision for my style as we step into the warmer months ahead. While certain trends are calling, my sartorial allegiance lies predominantly with timeless pieces peppered with a few feminine accents. And, in stating the obvious, you know I’m an unwavering devotee to neutrals (I can’t help myself and I won’t apologize for it!). Their simplicity not only helps the process of getting dressed feel easy and effortless, but usually ensures a polished, timeless look.

As I’ve moved through my 30s, I’ve gravitated towards embracing a capsule wardrobe philosophy… an assemblage of enduring pieces designed to stick with me for many years. My inclination is in keeping things simple, especially when it comes to color—where I find solace in the elegance of muted tones, as mentioned. But where I love to play a bit more, is with texture. This season, I’m admiring the intricate charm of lace and floral-inspired details.

Since I’m not one to embrace pattern in my clothing, I am loving eyelet and embroidery to add a bit of interest to my looks. Woven leathers, suede, and the mesh shoe trend have also found a place in my repertoire.

In thinking through how to dress and elevate my style each season, I’ve fully embraced the art of moodboarding. Not only is this something I obviously do often for this space, but creating and actually using them to help me get dressed has been so helpful in refining my personal style. I feel such clarity for spring dressing and in curating an effortless, feminine, and classic wardrobe after marrying all these photos that caught my eye. I took things a step further with an extended vision below, with notes! Click photos to view them larger and zoom in.

Happy (almost) spring.
