12 Must-Have Outfits to Complete Your Spring Wardrobe

So many beautiful spring looks...

I've been doing a lot of shopping with my personal style clients for spring outfits. Below are some of the fresh looks I put together for them. I was searching for some new basics and also an injection of fun and color. I do believe I’ve found it and I’m excited to share with you...

Here’s a neutral, seasonless blazer (it’s a medium-weight knit), a neutral kitten heel sandal, super light and drape-y pants that look like jeans but aren’t. I added a striped fitted tee with a pretty neckline that’s perfect for showing off these pretty necklaces.

Outfit Details: Maxi Shirtdress

This is a 100% silk dress from Club Monaco that can be worn to work, dinner or -heck- even a summer funeral. It’s so light it’s like wearing nothing. Swap out the belt, add a cardigan …it’s just a great quality basic! I added a faux snakeskin sandal for fun.

It’s hard to believe this classic wide-leg pant is only $59. You can dress them up with a pretty blouse like this pistachio green wrap. Just a stylist note that you can put a stitch in the front of that top to keep it closed, you can wear something pretty that you wont mind being seen underneath or you can use double stick fashion tape for modesty. I paired this look with a braided strap sandal. I cannot get enough of these braided straps because they are so soft and comfortable on the foot!

Outfit Details: Blazer | Rib Tank | Wide Leg Pants | Sneaker

Probably my favorite way to dress is comfortable, cool and sporty. This relaxed suit is just my style. I can break up the blazer and pant or wear them together like I did here.

This super-pretty cashmere sweater is so good!!! It’s really soft and light. Be careful with wearing jewelry so you don’t snag it! I’m always looking for fresh white pants and I love breezy linen in the summer! This natural rafia sandal “matches” everything. I would order two sizes..your true size and a half size down. These are from the Rack and a high risk for sell out. You don’t want to need a smaller size and it not be available.

Outfit Details: Smocked Cuff Top | Bootcut Jeans

It’s always nice to have a fresh blouse to wear out. This cornflower blue is lovely. The sleeve is full but not exaggerated and I appreciate the fitted body. A word of advice.. do not wear this smocked crewneck top if you are busty. You, my dear, need a scoop or v-neck. White bootcut jeans and a snakeskin sandal complete this fun outfit.
