as the weather is turning from chilly to
0:11
those bright sunny days or if you're
0:14
heading on vacation to get away from the
0:15
chili what can you wear if you're not
0:18
comfortable wearing shorts or shorts
0:20
really aren't your thing okay we're
0:22
going to talk about that and today look
0:24
number one we are starting with these
0:25
awesome pants from cloth and stone they
0:28
are a wide leg striped pant they have a
0:30
kind of a linen fabrication a real thin
0:33
cotton fabrication so again if you're
0:35
going to be in warm weather but you
0:37
don't want to wear shorts this is still
0:39
has the breathability and it's going to
0:40
keep you cool um just like a short wood
0:43
it's got a nice little drawstring and
0:45
it's a nice little elastic waistband
0:47
good for travel so if you are one of
0:50
those that would love to just like get
0:52
on the airplane and as soon as you get
0:53
off you go straight to the beach this is
0:55
the outfit for you you're going to be so
0:57
comfortable on the plane traveling even
0:59
if you just put a little jean jacket
1:00
over top if you want to with your little
1:02
travel bag and then when you get there
1:04
to shed that jean jacket and let the
1:06
sunshine on your shoulders and again
1:08
just be nice and cool great little
1:10
pockets the fabrication on this i love
1:12
because when you move and you walk it
1:15
moves with you so it really has more of
1:17
an elevated feel and feels really
1:20
glamorous i think
1:22
again the length on this i'm five nine i
1:25
always like to remind you and it just is
1:28
perfect for me so um now those of you
1:31
who are a little more petite in stature
1:33
you might want to add a little elevated
1:34
heel with it which you totally could
1:37
i'm wearing these great little dolce
1:39
vita sandals
1:40
um in kind of like a mocha color nice
1:42
little braiding on there this fun little
1:45
little top from michael stars you know
1:47
michael stars he does some really great
1:50
things for us he keeps the fabrication
1:52
so soft and so comfortable he keeps the
1:54
straps very bra friendly and when he
1:58
makes a great shirt like this one he
2:00
comes in multiple colors look how cute
2:02
these are these fun little earrings has
2:04
the black that ties in your whole outfit
2:06
a little bit of gold shimmer
2:08
and you are out the door for a sunny day
2:10
this is going to be your little uniform
2:12
for spring okay you ready
2:14
first let's start with this great skirt
2:16
from sundry now those of you that are
2:18
familiar with sundry you love your
2:20
saturday skirt that's what we've had the
2:22
last couple years those saturday skirts
2:23
it's kind of like a light sweatshirt
2:25
material love those
2:26
they brought something new to you it is
2:28
the sundae skirt all right
2:30
this one very similar in shape okay same
2:34
sizing
2:35
but the poplin fabrication is what's new
2:38
for us so again the old ones were a
2:40
little more like a like a sweatshirt
2:42
material this one's going to be a nice
2:43
little pop with a nice little cotton
2:45
perfect for spring into summer great
2:48
alternative to those shorts okay the pop
2:50
one what i love about poplan is that it
2:51
doesn't wrinkle like something like
2:53
linen or things like that so when you're
2:55
sitting in the car you're running your
2:56
errands you're still gonna get out and
2:58
you're gonna look totally fresh and
3:00
smooth i topped it off with this fun
3:02
little short sleeve sweatshirt which to
3:03
me a short sleeve sweatshirt is comfort
3:06
yet look how adorable this is from rails
3:08
all these fun little tiny daisies on it
3:11
in multiple colors love that so you can
3:14
put this with anything really with all
3:16
the colors that are in it love it with
3:18
the skirt though do a little tuck um to
3:20
create a little movement also look at
3:23
these great pennies those white tennis
3:25
they are still moving forward they're
3:27
still fashion forward and they're great
3:29
for the get go okay these are from new
3:32
balance under a hundred dollars these
3:34
are great these are going to be your
3:35
grab and go your basic white little ties
3:38
with the comp little camel mocha color
3:40
um tab on the back so they're going to
3:42
go with anything you can even wear these
3:44
if you want with that last outfit that i
3:47
had on okay so those would be if you
3:49
want to do something different than the
3:51
sandal you can throw those with that or
3:53
that little black tank top that i had
3:55
from michael stars would be a great
3:57
little match up for this too so again
3:59
that capsule wardrobe you can mix and
4:01
match as you head out the door topped it
4:03
off with these fun little seed bracelets
4:04
you know me i like the bracelets and i
4:06
like to do multiples together and you're
4:08
ready to go okay i'm back with look
4:11
number three for your alternative to
4:13
shorts for spring and summer okay we're
4:15
gonna start this little outfit with this
4:18
great skirt from sundry last skirt was
4:21
from sundry so is this one they are so
4:24
versatile they can do short they can do
4:26
long they can do tiered they can do
4:28
poplin this is a nice little cotton
4:30
almost like a long sleeve shirt t-shirt
4:32
material
4:33
again a tiered skirt which tiered is one
4:35
a tiered skirt or a tiered dress is
4:37
something that you're going to want in
4:38
your closet very on trend for spring and
4:40
summer again it's got that movement that
4:43
you can that you can enjoy in a fun
4:46
little skirt so when you walk it really
4:48
feels elevated um very comfortable again
4:51
a little elastic waistband so again
4:54
traveling running around errands all the
4:55
things that you need to do
4:57
i paired it
4:59
with this little tank top from sol
5:01
angelus this little dotted tank it has
5:04
like a fun little um wide strap up here
5:06
i would suggest maybe wearing like a
5:08
racerback bra with this just because of
5:11
the way that it cuts in but again so
5:13
soft
5:14
and pairs really great with this tiered
5:16
skirt now fun little surprise with this
5:18
sundry tiered skirt it has a matching
5:20
top so i know we've spoke a few um a few
5:23
uh episodes back
5:25
talking about how sets are really
5:27
something moving forward from spring and
5:28
summer if you are one who wants to stay
5:31
on trend with that i'm going to show you
5:32
what you can put with this skirt look at
5:34
this great little top so fun so again
5:38
banding around here which will meet the
5:39
banding there and when you wear it it
5:42
really looks like a one piece almost
5:44
like a full top to bottom dress
5:46
but you have the comfort and ease of
5:49
having it to be two pieces okay it has a
5:51
fun little um gathered uh elastic waist
5:54
here excuse me elastic banding here
5:57
across um the decollete so you could
5:59
wear a little off the shoulder if that's
6:01
your style has a little blousey sleeve
6:03
here again with a little gathering here
6:06
and you know with those gatherings i
6:07
always like to pull them up a little bit
6:09
to create a little volume um in the
6:11
sleeve but a fun little way to pull this
6:14
skirt in with the top if that's the look
6:16
you're going for
6:17
if you are someone who is more to stick
6:19
with the tank top like i showed you um
6:21
but on those cool summer evenings or
6:24
those spring days when it's not quite
6:27
ready to go out with nothing else
6:29
nothing covering your shoulders i would
6:31
suggest a jean jacket because you know
6:32
i'm a jean jacket girl this is my new
6:34
favorite one and it is by every it's our
6:37
house brand
6:38
so fun
6:39
um love the shape of this one it's it's
6:42
got a little bit of stretch to it which
6:44
is
6:45
very friendly for me makes it easy
6:47
especially as i'm picking things up
6:49
getting in and out of the car if you're
6:51
one that's like hoisting kids all the
6:52
things um i'm always a
6:55
collar popper as you know because of the
6:58
versatility of it and the stretch
6:59
ability with it you could wear it with
7:01
that last outfit i showed you
7:03
with the little sweatshirt and the skirt
7:05
you can even put it on top of that first
7:07
outfit with that little black tank top
7:09
