Outfit 1: Casual Contrast Trim

These photos start back in February, well before our trip to St. Lucia. I wore this casual look for a day of working from home and then to host our small group from church that evening. This boatneck sweatshirt with contrast trim from J.Crew is such a great casual transition piece, and these are my old favorite MOTHER Dazzler jeans. I love them, but I just ordered this pair from AYR to try a similar option that feels a bit more updated.

Outfit 2: Casual Dinner Out

The next day was another work-from-home day, and a friend texted to see if I wanted to grab a spontaneous bite at a local casual spot for dinner. I was already wearing this super casual look with my Ruti On The Loose Pants, so I decided to just roll with it. I put on a little makeup, threw my hair in a ponytail, and headed out the door.

Outfit 3: Casual Sweater + Jeans

I had a photo shoot the next day, and when I got back home, I ended up wearing this casual look for the rest of the day. I think this sweater looks better with slightly shorter jeans—it feels a little short with this pair. It’s a really cute sweater, though, and you’ll see it a few more times below.

Outfit 4: Simple Sunday Look

I shared a separate post with what I wore in St. Lucia, so we’ll just skip right over that part of the timeline. When we got home, our weather was surprisingly mild for a few days. This is what I wore to church the day after we got back. I was in a bit of a rush, so I threw on this simple transitional outfit since I’d worn the combination before and knew I liked it.

I added a belt and a trench to give it a more finished look and carried an ivory bag to keep it light.

FYI, this Vince sweater, the MOTHER jeans, and my Veronica Beard flats are all part of the Nordstrom Spring Sale—they’re 25% off right now! (And there are more sizes of the jeans on sale at PAIGE. They’re having a Friends & Family.)

Outfit 5: Cozy Afternoon at Home

I changed into a more casual look for the afternoon to hang out with the kids. Becca was home from college, so I made a family dinner and we played games later that night. See how this sweater looks better with slightly shorter jeans? These are the Madewell Jules I featured yesterday, and they’re still on sale. It looks like they extended the Insiders Event.

Outfit 6: Trying New Spring Pieces

I didn’t go anywhere the next day, but I wanted to play around with some of the new spring styles that had arrived while I was away. I like this sweater and these pants, but I’m not sure I love them together. It’s a lot going on.

Outfit 7: A Better Combo

I swapped the striped polo sweater for a simple black tank, and I like this combination much better. I’m not sure the sneakers do a whole lot for the outfit, but I just wanted to be comfortable at home.

FYI, these pants are 25% off at PAIGE and Nordstrom. They’re super comfortable and easy to wear.

Outfit 8: Easy Stripes

Another easy combo for a work-from-home Monday. This tee is part of the Splendid sale, by the way (40% off with code VIPONLY thru 3/18). I have the small, but I kind of wish I’d gone with the medium for a looser fit, which I think is how it’s meant to fit.

Outfit 9: Subtle Barrel Jeans

I had a photoshoot the next day, and afterward I ended up wearing these two new pieces from Social Threads. The Risen jeans are a subtle barrel shape, and the red tee from Free People is a really nice slub fabric with subtle details like exposed seams. It’s simple, but updated and feels like a fresh take on a classic tee-and-jeans combo.

If I were going out, I would probably add a few more accessories, but I just threw on my new Crocs sandals and called it good.

Outfit 10: Easy Work-From-Home Look

Keeping it simple and casual again with this sporty grey raglan sweatshirt and relaxed straight MOTHER jeans. The sneakers are my fleece-lined slip-ons that I love wearing at home—they feel like slippers but still look like I’m dressed.

Outfit 10: Pop of Coral

I had a mani-pedi appointment last Friday morning, and I threw on these wide-leg jeans because they’re easy to roll up. I was also starting to feel a little tired of straight-leg styles. I added the coral cardigan for a fun pop of color, but it’s still cozy enough for the chilly weather we were having. Both of these wardrobe favorites are on sale right now!

I added some simple silver jewelry to coordinate with the buttons on the sweater, but I didn’t have time for makeup. You can also see that my sweater inspired my nail color choice for the next two weeks! (Sorry, I can’t remember which shade it is.)

So I ended up back in the trusty Madewell Jules, and I first tried this combo with the loafer mules. Here’s how the sweater looks untucked and front-tucked.

Since it’s a bit oversized, I felt like it needed the tuck, but I ended up leaving it out. It’s still short enough that it doesn’t throw off the vertical proportions too much, and sometimes simple just feels more authentic.

Before we left, I swapped the loafer mules for sneakers since the venue was so casual. These sneakers are on major sale at Zappos right now, by the way. They’re really fun and on trend, and I love the two different laces. Fit note: I sized up to a 9 in these.

I kept my jewelry to a few simple, classic pieces, including this new Mini Diamond Tennis Bracelet from Ring Concierge. It’s very delicate but has a ton of sparkle. I know the trend is to stack them, but I kind of like it on its own.

Outfit 12: Easy Weekend Layers

I went to the mall on Saturday with Paul and a couple of the kids. It was a spontaneous trip, so I didn’t have much time to get ready. I threw on some light makeup and this easy look. It’s simple, but I really like the proportions.

On a whim, I added my new Sam Edelman trench and the Clare V. woven crossbody bag, which really pull it together and make it look more polished.

Outfit 13: Navy + Olive

For church on Sunday, I first tried the PAIGE Ari wide-leg pants with a navy henley sweater and Madden Mary Janes.
