Jumpsuits seem to be a hot item for spring/summer and I have to say I’m totally on board! I say that having never actually tried one on…so my feelings could change but I love the look none the less. I love how effortless they feel and how you can dress them up or down. I picture wearing one on a slow bike ride to the farmers market and then adding heels and some bright lipstick later for a date night.  Are you a fan of jumpsuits? Where would you wear yours?

With Memorial Day around the corner bright whites are entering our wardrobes again. Do you own a pair of white jeans? I love how beachy they are, and they feel special since you only wear them in the summer (like that amazing sequin dress you pull out only during the holidays).

Keep reading for two ways I styled my white jeans, one is casual and one is more dressed up: What do you think, will you be wearing white jeans this summer? Are you a fan?

Look 1: Beachy. My favorite way to wear white jeans is on a beach vacation or outing. I always find myself wanting to buy a new pair of white jeans pair before I leave on a tropical trip. Here I styled the flirt white skinny jeans from Old Navy (only $19 right now- what a steal!) with a polka dot chambray shirt (similar) from J.Crew, this pastel satchel from Fossil (on sale!), sandals from Bernardo, and a straw hat.

Look 2: Neons. I’m a huge fan of white paired with all shades of summery neons. Here I wore the flirt white skinny jeans from Old Navy with a knitted neon sweater from Forever21 (similar), neon pumps from Urban Outfitters (similar), a neon tote from Old Navy (similar cross body version), gold chains from a flea market.

For Less: top / pants / shoes

1. Printed Pants: Yeah for bright bold patterns on pants! We are loving the idea of pairing a floral pant with another patterned top (tip: just be sure both aren’t big patterns and that there’s one color repeated in both pieces). Do you own a pair of floral pants? Love this pair I spotted at Forever 21.

2. Daytime Lace: When you think of lace it’s usually for evening for bedtims, but I love the trend of lace for everyday where, especially paired down like we did here with some neutral booties. I could also see it paired with a cardigan or even a cargo shirt for a nice contrast. How killer is this lace dress Karli our stylist found?

3. Neutral Booties: You’d be surprised how much you can wear with a pair of neutral booties. Dresses, cuffed jeans, skirts, and summer shorts all work great with them and add little bit of edge to any outfit. The most versatile footwear you can have in your closet!

4.  Floral Blazer: Perfect for spring, pair it with a pair of bright pants and neutral top (or experiment mixing patterns underneath like polka dot or stripes).

5.  Arm Candy. It’s all about loading up on the bangles this season and I’m personally a huge fan! Such a chic touch to any outfit, day or night. Grab a bunch in different styles, shapes, textures and colors. A pastel nail color + clutch looks great as well with any spring outfit.

The quickest way to embrace spring is to throw on some sandals. It’s like a breath of fresh air for your feet, am I right? What types of sandals do you prefer? Heels and wedges? or flats and slip ons? I usually wear flat sandal’s all summer with the occasional LOW wedge. What about you?

Wedge photo and one, two, three of my favorite wedges around the web.

One: Pair your leather jacket with a bright colored top or dress. If color isn’t your thing try bright white. Its a perfect look that can take your leather jacket from winter to spring.

Two: Forget the traditional black leather jacket and go for a white jacket instead. Anything you pair it with will instantly feel light and fresh.

I saw this collage of grey dresses on The Sartorialist and fell in love with all the amazing options you’d have to style it- rain or shine, winter or summer, dressy or casual. Do you own a comfy mid to long grey dress? It seems like one of those effortlessly chic must-have items for your closet. I think I like it with those high top sneakers the best. Which look do you like?

Here are a few budget options I found if not: one/ two/three/four (Topshop has some great ones!)
