SIDE LACE-UP SWEATER AND SPRING JEANS — A couple of weekends ago we had a short break from the rain so I was able to run into Old Navy, snatch up a couple of pieces to brighten up my wardrobe, and shoot my first spring outfit.
Old Navy has done a fabulous job of evolving their Rockstar skinny jeans. As a pear shape, lighter colors jeans can be tricky. Usually, they make my lower half look wider, so I was surprised that these pants looked slimming. (They’ve been on sale this week online for $17.45.) I also fell in love with the lightweight side lace-up sweater – great for layering over a tee or under a jacket! (Sizes are selling out fast.) Lace-up details will be more prominent this year as well as ruffles and statement sleeves!
The neckerchief will also be fashionable this spring and summer! (Has it ever NOT been fashionable?) I found my little silk number at a thrift store for $1. I never tire of the delicate paisley print. I also styled it here with a striped knit dress last summer. I’m glad blush is still “in” this year because it’s a lovely color for spring and summer. The clutch and pumps are from last year and I plan to get good use out of them in 2017!

Thanks, Melissa! They are great! I currently have 4 pairs. Two have a stretchy waistband! I’m so glad those waistbands aren’t just for maternity pants anymore….they’re so comfy! xx-S
