Tulips are starting to make an appearance at your favorite neighborhood market. I don’t know about the rest of you, but to me this is one of the few promises that captures my attention and reminds me that spring is just around the corner. Recently during an outing with my fellow blogger babes we were all discussing how difficult it can be this time of year to feel stylish and season appropriate in your outfits. Yes, it is still quite cold outside so should we be wearing boots, a coat and scarf? Or if you’re like me, your fall wardrobe starts to seem very appealing because the weight and the materials are perfectly comfortable and suited for a transitional season.
I did find some inspiration in my closet, however, I just needed to look a little closer. I went for lighter denim, pastel colors, and this dreamy white trench from Chloe Grace Boutique. This was the key to pull me out of this fashion conundrum. It still says that I’m loving the winter pastels and shouts I’m so ready for spring! Paired it with my Elizabeth & Jamess shades and some Lulu’s lace up sandals, clearly I was excited for the little sunshine that day brought.
I am thankful that Chloe Grace Boutique sent me this white trench, because it was exactly what my spring transitional wardrobe was missing! Bright and happy, and a fresh take on the traditional tan trench coat, I’m so glad to have this new item available to me for times like these. Hopefully, you too can experience different colors of trench coats to mix up the routine of your classic trench coat.
On a side note, unrelated to fashion, you may have noticed my social media absence over the past few days, and I’m here to say I’m OK and trying my best! I never know what to share on social media, but to be quite honest I don’t feel like posting much. Recent life circumstances have made things pretty challenging right now, but I am reminded that no matter what life throws your way there will always be a way out of it. It may take work, pain, effort, but with the help of a gracious God and wonderful friends and family, I can make it through and so can you when trials come your way!
Keep smiling!

Janna, it really is a lot to manage, but I’m pretty much the energizer bunny (my nickname in high school) and keep going and going, haha. I will keep going through it all! I am pretty resilient even when life is not so fun at all. Thanks hun!
Prayers for you! Great look. May this coming spring bring you renewed hope for whatever is getting you down.

Thanks Erica! A white trench is definitely a fun take on the traditional tan.
Glad to know you’re doing good, Molly. This outfit is stunning. I want your heels! You look great, girl! 🙂

Thanks for the concern Autumn! I’m hanging in there! And these heels are my recent favorite pair!
We do miss you, but I totally understand when you say that life gets in the way and you just need to focus on ‘being present.’ I am going through that right now and needed my social media life to be on a pause for a little while. Your readers love you and support you through every season of life.
Now for this outfit, IT IS MY FAVORITE SO FAR!!!!
And these photos look like you belong in Hollywood!
