Happy Wednesday, ladies! Really gorgeous weather here in Georgia. Already got me thinking about the transition from Spring to Summer. So, I thought I’d do something a bit out of the norm for a Wednesday. I pulled together 5 comfy casual outfits from our Fridays with Oscar archive that are perfect for that Spring-to-Summer transition.
My long-time readers know that Fridays with Oscar always feature a cocktail and recipe. I didn’t go that far today—have to respect the Friday tradition. But I did pull together 5 of my favorite healthy eating cookbooks this year as a little something extra.
The Summary
Today we’ve got 5 comfy casual outfits for Spring-to-Summer transition
The outfits I’ve modeled are all old, but I’ve put together similars for each
My top 5 healthy eating cookbooks are at the end of the post, so don’t miss them!
The 2022 Spring Best Graphic Tees Edition
1. Sweater & joggers
Best for those in the low 70s, the first outfit could not be simpler. A comfy sweater paired with joggers.
Joggers are great for the days when you’re lounging around the house. But dress them up slightly with your favorite Spring sweater and they’re also perfect for running errands.

2. Polo & Shorts
We’re headed for 80-degree weather here this weekend, so I’m reaching for a pair of shorts.
I’m loving the girlfriend shorts from Talbots this season and they pair perfectly with a simple polo. I’m keeping the outfit neutral today, but add a pop of color for levity.

3. Stripe on Stripe
My third outfit is a matchy-matchy stripe-on-strip top and bottom. I broke up with ‘monochrome’ with a big dose of color.
I love, love, love pink. And there’s nothing easier than adding color to your outfit with a sweater and your accessory choice.
If pink isn’t your color, no problem. Try yellow, orange, or even a bright green. Have fun with this one!

Board: Perfect Crops (Talbots) | Linen Band Collar Popover | Girlfriend Cardigan (Talbots) | Edison Bow Nappa Slingback (Talbots) | Nylon Duffle Bag (Talbots)

4. Blouse & Jeans
Probably the most “dressy” of the five comfy casual outfits, I went with a print top and jeans here.
So many prints to choose from this year at retailers like Talbots, my similar outfit below features a floral ruffle top. But swap it out for your favorite, if you’re not loving my pick.
And what’s so great about this outfit, you could swap out the top for a crisp white button-down or a simple black tee.
So many options here.

Board: Tie Detail Ruffle Top (Talbots) | Girlfriend Cardigan (Talbots) | Slim Ankle Jeans (Talbots) | Lynday Espadrille Wedges (Talbots) | Woven Cornhusk Tote

5. Sweater & Print Pants
My final outfit features a printed pant paired with a simple navy sweater.
Just like the above outfit, there are so many fun printed pants to choose from this year to fit your own personal style.
Keep the sweater simple and just have fun with the pants. You really can’t go wrong.

Board: Yoke Stitch Sweater (Talbots) | Perfect Crops (Talbots) | Perfect Tote (Talbots) | Keds Double Decker Slip-On (Talbots)
