    Things I Love – #27

    Here are a few spring purchase that I’m loving. (Click on the photos for more information or to shop.)

    Old Navy t-shirt dress. I read that the maxi dress was REALLY long, so I ordered the midi dress in a tall and a regular length and I liked them so much, I kept both. I’m 5’3″ and the regular length is mid-calf and the tall length is a few inches above my ankle. If you’re tall, look for the Maxi version of this dress.

    Banana Republic Duster Cardigan. I wore this over the Old Navy t-shirt dress (above) to the office yesterday.

    I also own this Camel colored long cardigan which is a little lighter than the Banana Republic Duster above. It also comes in black and heather gray.

    Amazon Long Open Cardigan

    Old Navy tie die tunic sweatshirt. This comes in multiple colors. I liked the one below so much, I ordered a second color.

    Lululemon align leggings. These are my favorite leggings and I have all of the lengths, with and without pockets, in several colors.

    I’m always ordering hooded sweatshirts from H&M. They’re typically $19.99 or $24.99.

    H&M Hoodie
    H&M Relaxed Hoodie

    Superga slides. I wore these into the ground last summer so I ordered a fresh pair this spring. You may need to size up 1/2 size so your heel is completely inside the shoe. I spray them with two coats of canvas protector and they clean up nicely with a Chlorox wipe.

    Superga COTU

    Mala and Mantra Birthstone Necklace. I saw this necklace at a spa in Mexico and I loved it so much, I ordered it online before we left Mexico. I will say the photo doesn’t do the stones justice, each garnet is faceted and they shimmer in the light. There are many necklace and bracelet options on this website that would make great Mother’s Day gifts. Use code Welcome20 for a 20% discount.

    Things I Love – #17

    If it’s time to refresh your wardrobe for Winter, check out some of these great deals I found online. (Click on photos below for more information.)

    Zara Oversized Knit Sweatshirt
    Zara Wide Leg Knit Pants

    These Zara pieces are cute and cozy for lounging or working from home. There’s just enough wool in these pieces to keep you warm without being itchy. I’m allergic to wool and have no problem wearing these.

    H&M Long Hoodie
    H&M Joggers

    These H&M pieces are another cozy lounge set. These pieces are lighter than the set above from Zara.

    H&M Oversized Hoodie

    This H&M hoodie is longer and works great with leggings or skinny jeans. I’ve found that H&M has great sweatshirts for men and women, but the trick is to check in often. One of my favorite H&M gray sweatshirts with a stripe down the arm sold out really fast.

    H&M Turtleneck Dress

    I love this dress. I have a few very expensive cashmere sweater dresses that I hardly wear because they’re too warm and I save them for nice events. This is a great everyday sweater dress. It’s a little longer but has slits on both sides. This fall I wore it with a pair of slip-on sneakers, but I will definitely wear it with black tights and ankle boots this winter. UPDATE: The H&M Turtleneck dress above sold out in gray, it is still available in beige melange. Click here and here for more turtleneck dress options.

    H&M Plaid Shirt Dress

    This is another really cute dress that I have received compliments on. I’ve worn it with a white tank top underneath and Vans mules. Again, I’ll probably wear black tights, Moto boots and a long sleeve t-shirt underneath as it gets colder.

    Madewell Ribbed Crewneck

    Madewell makes great t-shirts for layering. If you aren’t familiar with Madewell denim, check out their Roadtripper Jeans. These are the only jeans I would wear while traveling.

    Modern Citizen Keira Ribbed Knit Skirt

    This is more expensive than the items above, but I always like to have a good quality, long knit skirt to wear with chunky sweaters and boots. This model is tall, so the skirt hits closer to the top of the boot on me.
