the days just got a little longer and the nights shorter. step by step, we’re inching towards spring. it’s time to lighten and brighten our wardrobes, makeup palette, and skincare. today, it’s all about style. yes, we’re stepping into spring with five wardrobe essentials that will see us through even the trickiest temps.
jumpsuit
are you ready to step into spring with five wardrobe essentials on hand? first up is a jumpsuit. and, yes, there will be more than one objection about a jumpsuit. like a trip to the loo… but if you build in a bit more time, that problem is easily solved. one reason i absolutely adore jumpsuits is that it’s just like a dress; they’re one and done. no need to muss and fuss with coordinating color schemes that separates can challenge us with. plus, jumpsuits are ever so chic and comfortable. jazz them up with accessories or dress them down with sneakers. there are endless opportunities with a jumpsuit.

moto leather jacket
spring jackets are a must-have not only for warmth but for style. y’all know i love me a good moto jacket and have featured several options in recent posts. moto jackets are classic, trendy, and always on point. what a lovely departure from denim jackets or raincoats.

white sneaker
since i was a child, i’ve had a pair of trusty white sneakers on hand. back in the day, it was a pair of white canvas Keds. as a teenager, i preferred Sperry, but when i was introduced to Stan Smith’s white sneakers, i was hooked for good. white sneakers go with everything from blue jeans to shorts to skirts. it’s the perfect spring accessory.

tee shirt
it’s time to shed our sweaters in favor of tees. keep the neutrals on hand with white, gray, and black in a crewneck, v-neck, scoop neck, or bateau neck. and we all love stripe tees, especially this time of year. but don’t forget to add whimsy to your wardrobe with a graphic tee. they look fantastic underneath cardigans, jean jackets, and moto jackets.

A-line skirt
it’s time to throw on some self-tanner on our legs and slip into a skirt. an A-line skirt is flattering on everyone. when it’s time to be fun and flirty, a skirt is my go-to wardrobe essential.

Great photos and plenty of inspiration! Can you tell me more about the handbag in the first photo? Looks like hand-tooled leather, but not sure. Thanks!
the handbag in the first photo is a snake print clutch by Prada.
You look amazing in these outfits. I can’t wear most but I’m happy to see someone wear jumpsuits, tucked in tops, short skirts etc. at a certain age. You have a great figure. You definitely keep it classic but modern.
thanks, eve!
The black knit one piece jumpsuit might be my favorite look on you. Makes you look really tall and lean. Quite elegant.
definitely a favorite!
Thank you! The jumpsuit trend definitely isn’t for me but see it everywhere! Enjoy your posts – always great tidbits 😃
the jumpsuit is an easy alternative to a dress. thanks for stopping by.
Looking like spring! I am interested in knowing more about the bold gold medallion necklace in the A-line skirt section. I have been searching for one that catches my eye like yours did. Thank you!
that necklace is always a hit. it’s by Janice Savitt about three or four years old.
love them all.
Love your hair when is longer
thanks for the feedback!
Hi I think I have your red skirt in navy from Talbots from a few years ago. I really love the way it fits. Maybe I’ll get a leg wax& wear it on Easter! Keep up the good work, I’m retired and I enjoy your casual but put together outfits. I know you’re not a plus size but some of us are. Try to incorporate companies that sell plus size clothes . We shouldn’t be left out
self tanner does wonders! and, yes, all sizes should be included with brands one more reason to love Talbots or J.Crew.
I’m on board with everything BUT the jumpsuit. Nope. Can’t do it
Thanks for sharing these great outfits. I have a few jumpsuits in my closet that I had forgotten about. I’m going to pull them out.
I love the outfit with the red skirt and camo t-shirt. What are the sandals that you have on? I love them.
Thanks
