Two Weeks of Everyday Spring Outfits

I got home from England on the Saturday before Memorial Day, and the next day I got dressed for church in a pair of dark wash flare jeans with a black ribbed tank and an olive twill jacket. It was sunny but still a bit chilly, and sandals felt too summery, so I went with slingback pumps in a hair calf leopard print for a little interest and coverage. This look feels more fall that spring to me, but I didn’t have time to play around with other options, and I guess it works!

We hosted some friends by the pool for Memorial Day, so I ran out early Monday morning to grab food and some flowers to brighten up the deck. The weather was still on the cool side, so I went with a sweater-and-shorts combo and added my boat shoes for a practical, classic touch. They felt like a nice change after living in sneakers for 10 days in England.

By the afternoon, it had warmed up quite a bit, so I swapped the sweater for a navy striped linen tee before our guests arrived. Between the stripes and my red nails, I figured it still felt festive enough for Memorial Day… ha!

The grad party was a casual backyard gathering, but I wanted to look a little more put-together than my usual tee and jeans, so I wore my Rails striped linen-blend top with ruffle shoulders and paired it with my favorite cropped blue jeans.

I usually wear this top untucked with longer jeans, but with this cropped pair, I like how the front tuck helps balance the proportions and defines the waist a bit more.

The crochet flats tied in nicely with the lighter tones in the top, and I brought along my trusty linen Camp Jacket in case it got chilly, which it did. I actually ended up wearing it the whole time. I accessorized with silver jewelry to complement the cooler tones in the outfit and the gunmetal hardware on the jacket.

The next day, I wore white jeans with a crisp blue and white striped cropped button-up to church. I went with with light brown slides and my new Mulberry bag for a warm contrast, and this time I added delicate gold jewelry to tie in with the hardware on the shoes and bag.

I remedied the sandal situation while I was at the mall, and I came home and changed before making a quick grocery store run.

These sandals have the on-trend strappy look with soft, flat leather straps, but they’re set on a molded footbed for comfort and support. It’s the perfect mix of minimalist styling and practical features, and I also like how they coordinate with my new Mulberry bag.

I wore this neutral look to grab lunch with a friend after my photo shoot last week. I took the picture when I got home, so it’s a little rumply, but I think it held up pretty well after sitting in the car and at a restaurant for a couple of hours.

Once again, I brought my trusty EVEREVE Camp Jacket along with me, but this time I didn’t end up needing it.

When I got home, I swapped the jeans for white shorts and changed into flip flops to stay comfortable for the rest of the day. I actually like this outfit a lot, too!

That brings us to last Sunday and what I wore to church and out to lunch afterwards. I decided to give my jeans a break, and since it was a warm day, I pulled out this black linen dress with the contrast stitching. I usually keep it casual with sneakers or flip flops, so it took me a minute to figure out what shoes felt church appropriate.

I ended up going with taupe slides—they’re simple but polished and I feel like they work with the laid-back vibe of the dress. This pair from Sam Edelman pair is similar; my daughter actually has them and loves them.

I kept it casual on Monday with a t-shirt and jeans. I love this top, but unfortunately, the red is sold out—there are still plenty of other colors available, though.

And these T-strap sandals are another new addition. I really like the gold ring detail and the light neutral tone, and the square toe keeps them feeling current. They’re not leather, but they’re surprisingly comfortable and walkable.

And yesterday I just repeated the black Athleta tank and green cargo pants combo. I was home most of the day, waiting to start my “prep”… fun times!

I’m praying all goes smoothly today and that there are no issues. Thank you so much for all of your advice and well wishes—I truly appreciate it. I’ll be glad to be on the flip side of this!
