tease

spring is a teaser season to me it's

01:00

degree day right behind it if you live

sweaters because



01:07

this is going to live in your closet for



01:09

the next 10 12 weeks be a great



01:12

go-to and it's just an easy way i think



01:14

to get a cozy layer on top



01:16

start to edge out of your jackets but



01:19

01:20

as the season gets a little warmer



01:22

01:30

favorite but they are a necessity it's



01:32

going to get warm enough in the summer



01:33

season that you've got to have them



01:35

02:04

a little bit of a gather at the sleeve



02:06

you know how i love a deep v



02:08

i didn't do any i didn't do any jewelry



02:10

i really kind of like this open



02:12

um with the neon yellow and i would do



02:15

i would just do like a little front tuck



02:17

with this i would definitely kind of



02:19

pull up the sleeves a little bit



02:20

if the weather is on your side and then



02:24

you can kind of see in the back i'll



02:26

just leave it on top what i have on for



02:28

our short is the parker short so parker



02:31

short by a gold e if you haven't tried



02:33

this yet this is the long



02:35

so it's a little bit longer which for me



02:37

that's my go-to with shorts



02:39

panna cotta is the color i don't know



02:42

give it a google



02:43

maybe it means a shade of white and



02:44

italian not certain but when you go to



02:46

find this in store



02:48

or on web panna cotta is the color this



02:50

really fits true to size but i'll tell



02:52

you



02:52

um i'm in a 31 so that's up a size



02:55

larger than i would normally take



02:57

i just i like the room in my shorts i



02:59

like them to feel



03:00

a little bit more boyfriend style it's



03:02

my comfort level uh



03:04

just depends on you you do you i carry



03:06

my weight in my rear and in my thighs so



03:08

i like to size up in shorts



03:09

if that's not where you carry your



03:10

weight go true to size um i have this on



03:13

just paired back to a freedom moses i



03:15

talk to you about these sandals



03:16

i am in love fifty dollars this is a



03:18

really fun



03:19

cow print which i think is great off of



03:22

the neon



03:23

um all hundred percent sustainable



03:25

materials



03:26

faux over the top easy throw on flip



03:29

flop



03:30

for the summer season okay that was look



03:32

number one let me get on number two for



03:34

you



03:34

okay oh i wonder if you're having a day



03:37

like me so this is look number two but



03:39

it's really take



03:40

three on my phone because i'm shooting



03:42

in slo-mo and i don't know it until i go



03:44

to like watch it making sure everything



03:46

looks okay on wow



03:47

super super slow and i'm like oh why did



03:50

that take me two shots to realize it



03:52

okay



03:53

just sharing that story in case you're



03:54

having a day i hear you



03:56

uh let's go back to clothes and a whole



03:58

lot and brighten your day for you



04:00

okay so uh more sweaters right so



04:03

this is the renee stripe pullover



04:05

sweater the stripe kind of comes from



04:07

this eyelet pattern so this is



04:09

open little open weave here which i i



04:12

love



04:12

um white just a bright white headed into



04:15

spring



04:16

in a sweater and i also love this open



04:18

eye light eyelet because it just gives



04:20

you that transition into warmer weather



04:22

um definitely have to think about where



04:23

you're wearing underneath



04:25

so i just threw on michael starr's boat



04:27

neck it's a



04:29

it's a lot of coverage though so if



04:30

you've got something in your wardrobe



04:32

like a little spaghetti strap the



04:33

built-in little shelf bra something like



04:35

that would be



04:36

perfection and much more feminine than



04:38

this look but



04:39

making it work um also back to shorts so



04:42

kept on



04:43

um this is the parker a goldie just a



04:46

different color so this is swap meet



04:48

so if you're looking for that kind of



04:49

traditional just like lighter wash going



04:51

into the spring season this is perfect



04:54

again this length is the long so it gets



04:56

you a little bit more length on your



04:58

thigh



04:58

and then i i was kind of thinking when i



05:00

put on this outfit like out to brunch



05:02

maybe with your girlfriends with your



05:04

family



05:04

and so i put on a clog i also think if



05:08

you're



05:08

a curvy gal getting a little bit of heel



05:10

on with your shorts i think makes me



05:12

feel



05:12

a little bit longer a little leaner this



05:14

one unfortunately is online exclusive



05:17

um please go buy her because i would



05:19

love to have this in stores but this is



05:21

has been um nice job catherine i love



05:24

this



05:24

and i love the idea of a little clog



05:26

mule going into the spring season so



05:29

this would be my brunch look however i



05:32

think it would be really easy to leave



05:33

brunch and then go



05:34

head off and do your errands for the day



05:36

and just take this a little bit more



05:38

casual so what i would do



05:40

let me grab is i would pop on a little



05:43

bum bag if you have not picked one of



05:44

these up yet



05:46

once i picked it up i have not taken it



05:49

off now
