Outfit Planning: Maxi Dresses

3 Ways to Wear Maxi Dressesdress | hat | bracelet | bag | shoes

Midi skirts might be my thing right now, but this spring, I’m also on the hunt for the perfect maxi dress (haven’t worn one in almost a year).  Dress it up or dress it down, wear it day or night — maxi dresses are a one stop shop with so many ways to wear.  So when I find one that I love (like this printed piece or this lounge-y number), I plan on living in it all spring and summer.

Spring Staple: Anorak Jackets

Not trying to jinx anything here, but this week, I’m officially storing my winter coats for hibernation.  It’s time to break out the lightweight outerwear and while I love myself a classic trench coat, I have my eyes on a different kind of jacket this season: the anorak.  It’s part utility, but full on fashion with plenty of ways to wear it.

First up: a flirty feminine look.  I’m loving the blush anorak jacket from LOFT, but Topshop makes a great alternative.  Pair it with a white lace dress and a pair of strappy wedges and you’re basically the epitome of spring.

I also dig the laid back look and nothing’s more classic than a color combo of navy, white and cognac.  Throw on a pair of Chucks (I’ve owned mine for over a decade!) and it doesn’t get much easier than that.

What do you think of the anorak jacket?  I’d love to hear how you’d style them!

Spring Shoes

2014 Spring Shoes Trendsdress | booties | heels | wedges

It might not feel like it, but the official first day of spring is this Thursday and that’s the kind of occasion that calls for a new pair of shoes!  So whether you’re ready for open toes or not, there are three pairs that will get through every kind of occasion this season.

Spring Booties & Shoesone | two | three

Shoe #1: The Bootie.  Tired of wearing boots all winter long?  I feel your pain lady.  It’s not quite warm enough to bare my toes in NYC, so I’m gravitating toward a chunky heeled bootie (my current go to right here!).  I especially love them paired with a simple black dress and sans tights.  And the silver lining: booties season will give me some extra time to get my life together and give myself a pedicure!

Shoe #2: The Ankle Strap Heel.  I’m such a sucker for an ankle strap!  Whether they’re sleek and sultry to chunky and color blocked, I love that they how much they elevate an outfit.  If you’re on the more petite side, go for a thinner the strap.

Strappy Spring Wedgesseven | eight | nine

Shoe #3: The Strappy Wedge.  To all my Arizona friends who were already poolside back in January, you’ve probably skipped spring and headed straight into summer.  I’m slightly envious and counting down the days that I get to break out the strappy wedges.  I usually stumble around in heels, but wedges (especially a low wedge!) will always be jam.

What’s your shoe situation right now?  I’d love to hear what kind of kicks you’re looking forward to wearing this spring!
