so today I wanted to talk about my
essential pieces in my wardrobe for
spring honestly these are essential
pieces that I wear all year long
some version of them but that's whether
appropriate the things that bring the
most versatility to my wardrobe things
that I can wear several different ways
things that just bring a lot of value to
my closet for their price point
obviously if you the more you take care
of these pieces the more that they're
going to last and just bring you value
for a long time some of them I've had in
my closet for a couple years and some of
them are new but have really made a
difference in my closet there are a few
statement pieces though that can't
really be versatile but really are not
replaceable with other like versatile or
casual pieces so there's a mixed bag
here and let's get started if I had to
pick one pair of jeans I would pick
something that's high-waisted with a
wide leg so there's one pair in
particular the Jesse can sailor pants in
her American denim is what I got
she has like a cowboy denim right now
the minute that I had these arrived I
loved them so much I felt like they were
the crown jewel of my closet and all
year long I've been able to wear them
with different things and they're just
incredibly versatile as jeans are these
have a unique 70s vibe it also is very
like classic like she is the one that
kind of started this type of style but
there's plenty of more affordable dupes
out there that are awesome as well and
of course high waisted pants just make
me look taller and kind of balance out
my proportions so all good things there
my next must-have for my closet is a
white button-down shirt especially a
silk one because silk does not wrinkle
as much as they'd like other ones like a
poplin or I mean pop ones okay but like
a cotton shirt especially it's usually
hanging up in my closet and then I'm
like oh I have to iron it first so no so
but a silk one just does not wrinkle as
much it just doesn't have that
characteristic like flaw to it which
would wrinkle quickly or like linen
would wrinkle more quickly than say a
silk shirt I also like this one a lot
because it's more of a straight or
relaxed fit also ever Lanes silk line
they've really cleaned it up since I fir
bought this but this was something that
I bought originally when I kind of
started over on my personal style
journey and it was just something that
was very classic that I could match with
anything at all so that's why I went for
this one I ended up buying one in black
later on too and just brought just even
more versatility to my closet with that
another awesome silk item is a skirt
from elizabeth suzanne anything from
elizabeth suzanne that is silk is on my
wish list I've collected a few pieces
over time from her that are silk they
just make me feel like a million bucks
they're really good to travel in they
bring so much comfort because she
doesn't ever like mess with zippers or
buttons or anything they're always like
an elastic waistband and I've gotten
like shorts from her and pants that are
all they all have that same beautiful
waistband that is a higher quality than
other versions that I've tried I have
plenty of like reputable options that
are from other companies and brands and
people from Etsy but she has the best
waistband I just have to say it and then
also her skirts and her dresses
everything her whole style is very artsy
and they're a very unique style and why
I particularly have to recommend this
skirt is that it comes at just the right
length it hits me right at my smallest
point and so it's kind of like a high
waisted skirt in that regard and then
also the sizes are amazing it's just
very inclusive and it's inclusive for
short people like me so that's awesome
she's got tall short like regular so the
height of it is really good as well as
just like a full range of sizes it's
just neat to be able to be able to style
something like this dressing it up or
down I've done both you can even wear
this skirt underneath a dress I've done
that before where it's kind of layered
and it's just a really unique look as
well I've done a video on these in the
past
they are my go-to everyday shoe they are
the new solo knee solo I'm working on it
guys Mariella mules it's just a really
beautiful shoe it's very artistic again
way that it's designed I love to wear a
slip on shoe if I just don't want the
fuss of having you know a complication
it's just nice to be able to have
something that's a casual feel it feels
like a slipper my feet don't hurt in
these the only time that I've ever had
any sort of pain is if I decided to walk
miles and miles in them and because it's
a leather if I'm going barefoot then
it's gonna blister just naturally but if
I knew ahead of time that I was going to
do that I would recommend wearing like a
sock with them or tights and that would
be a really pretty look to I've been
known to wear these in all sorts of
weather not just in springtime but if
you live in more of a mild climate you
can wear these in different seasons if
it's not like raining or anything
outside I've actually had these in a
couple of different colors but I really
like this beautiful suede sand color
which just kind of matches my skin tone
better there's some times where I don't
want that color change between my leg
and my shoes if I want to look taller if
my outfit might otherwise look a little
bit frumpy I can change that just by
having a nude shoe and it's also a
pointed toe so that helps to next I have
to have at least one pair of shoes that
have a heel to them especially a nude
pair when I was trying on different
outfits
I almost returned these shoes I wasn't
sure of the price point and that's why I
was like well maybe I will return them
maybe they're a little bit too trendy
but I have to say there was nothing else
like this in my closet
that I could wear with so many different
outfits that would give my outfits just
the right edge to them I don't know it
gave it a whole nother level of
sophistication and just beauty so these
are from by far and I just love that
there's strappy they're minimal in their
design because there's not like too much
else going on I love also the fact that
it's got the square toe which kind of
matches kind of a square chunky heel to
it and yet at the same time it's
delicate and dainty a little bit of
elasticity to the band down here also
I'll leave a link down in the
description where you can find these but
they are currently sold out right now
they have been going back in and out of
stock so it is something that's like an
iconic shoe that you can always go back
and buy repurchase and all that but
right now they are all sold out and I
will try to find something similar to
for you guys my next spring must-have is
for days that are a bit chillier
honestly every day in the spring can get
chillier like when it's you know morning
or evening or if you're going to an
event and there's air conditioning on
that really sucks sometimes and just a
night I feel just naturally colder just
in my house - this is a really lovely
sweater by ever Lane it's a cashmere
just very basic sweater that I've worn
with skirts I've worn it with jeans I've
actually even worn it to bed and slept
in it a few times it's just really soft
but I also like the fact that even
though it is a bit thicker it's not
thick like bulky at all so this is a
really great option and again it's in
this beautiful like cream color it's not
something that is out of my neutral
comfort zone
I have not opposed to any sort of
sweater right now like I've even kept
around some of my turtlenecks in my
closet just because I will find a way to
wear them there's probably still one or
two more cold days that I want to
prepare for four days that are really
warm on the other hand because spring is
really unpredictable I have to have a
good tank especially if you guys are
going on vacation at all the one thing
that I would pack away is just a really
nice tank that I can just throw in my
suitcase and it doesn't take up a lot of
room so this one is from my dearest and
I have it in two different colors it's
the same exact one so I have it in black
and then I also have it in white
I've have like a variety of Tanks where
there's like v-necks and you know just
all sorts but having something like this
is still a statement piece it doesn't
feel like just a normal tank kind of
even the trendy 90's vibe to it I just
like to be able to pair this with a good
pair of jeans or shorts or I mean even
there's been some skirts that I paired
it with that are awesome the options are
really endless
I liked that this one came up high too
and it still got just a small strap on
it also the arms are really stretchy so
they're not going to
taking it all right here I've done one
video already when it was like a what's
new in so this is more of a new piece to
me because the season is coming out of
winter I'm really excited to be able to
wear this as the seasons progress well
in the summer well into even early fall
I could find a way to wear this next is
a basic white tee
I actually prefer this in a crop top
just because it's kind of matches my
body style where I'm more slim here and
on my waist and so it kind of can show
that but I always wear something high
waisted with it so that it's not like
overload on like exposure but it just
gives a little bit of femininity and a
little bit of a sexiness to any sort of
standard outfit so I always go to every
lane for my t-shirts they have really
affordable options and they do an
awesome job with where they source
everything for that as well their crop
tops when they come back in stock I will
leave a link for when that happens but
in the meantime the other great shirt
that I love from them is a Raglan tee
and I just love the stitching that goes
along here by having this classic white
tee I don't know it gives a certain
classic look to any outfit definitely a
must-have again like ever lanes options
are really affordable so that's why I
like to look there first because white
can be something that is hard to keep
white for a long period of time having
something that's more on the affordable
range definitely makes sense and I
always end up wearing these doing stuff
around the house like cleaning and stuff
too so it's just kind of a way where I
could wear the same shirt all day long
for all different purposes and finally
there's always one occasion where I want
to wear a statement dress so this is a
seasonal item I usually have to have one
for like summer and spring and then
another one that's more like more
appropriate for colder weather like fall
winter so the options are endless from
doan I would definitely say to go there
if you want something that is unique and
very detailed and feminine and flowy I
swear there have been so many
compliments when
worn something from doan because it's
just so unique there's nothing out there
like it it almost feels like it's from a
different time like a different era also
doan pieces are a splurge because
they're unique and they have very like
ethical ways that they operate these
pieces are not made cheaply at all and
so they are a splurge but I try to limit
myself to just like one or two pieces a
season from doan so this dress it has
ruffles all the way around the neckline
and then the sleeves are so poofy and
lovely and yet they balance the puffed
sleeves with just something that's very
slim through like the chest and the
ribcage area in fact they slim it down
even more by having these buttons that
are lining the ribcage on one side
that's just beautiful
and then it just flows to the end I
don't know all the right words for all
this but it's just very feminine I feel
like honestly I'm in a louisa may alcott
book when i wear this so guys those were
my essentials for springtime let me know
in the comments below if you have
anything that's like a go-to must-have
for spring I love to hear it
and I'll see you guys next time
love dancing in the rain you never mind
cloudy day make the world a better place
do you love dancing anyway
