Invested

This spring, it's time to invest. No, I'm not talking about buying stocks; I'm talking about buying a great vest. Fringe, denim, down, leather, take your pick! You can do no wrong. Not sure where to shop or how to style this sleeveless staple? I've got you covered.

The denim vest 

You're never fully dressed without a denim vest! This one from H&M has a vintage vibe with distressed details and fraying. Wear it with anything from crop tops and high waisted shorts to a springtime sundress.

The lightweight down vest

For chilly spring days, a lightweight down vest is just what you need. This one from Uniqlo is great for transition dressing. Wear it with a thin knit sweater, jeans and sneakers for a cool, casual look.

The fringe vest

Fringe is in for spring 2015. Channel your inner Coachella goddess with a festival-esque vest like this one from Forever 21. Style it with your favorite sunnies, shorts, sandals, and vintage shirt and let the flower power flow.

The leather vest 

Wear a leather vest with your little black dress. This one from H&M has a biker style and cap sleeves. It's a standout.

Spring Fashion Haul

 

I finally got my spring fashion fix. I recently did some shopping at American Apparel, Brandy Melville, and Nordstrom to spruce up my spring wardrobe. Let's start off this haul post with my American Apparel purchases.

 

American Apparel

Easy Jean Shorts | Cheetah Nylon Tricot Figure Skater Dress | Chiffon Tie Back Dress | Stripe Cotton Spandex Jersey Crop Tee | Cotton Spandex Sleeveless Crop Top | Open Knit Tennis Shirt

 

This was my first time ever shopping at American Apparel and I can now say it has become my new favorite store. I love how the clothes are made in America and are such great quality. I had to resist buying their crop tops and tricot skater dresses in multiple colors. Their wall of hair bows was also very tempting, but that is just another reason to go back!

 

 

 

Brandy Melville

 

I also picked up a few things at Brandy Melville. I needed a new black t-shirt and this one is so soft and comfy. Graphic tees are great to wear in the springtime and the New York t-shirt I found is just what I was looking for. (NYC is the fashion capitol of the world, so I think this one is very fitting). I was surprised at how thick and nice the material was, especially since some of Brandy Melville's clothes can be quite flimsy. My find of the day was a backpack on sale for only $20. It has loads of zippered compartments, is very spacious and made of a very convincing faux leather. I think it will be the perfect spring and summer staple.

 

 

 

Nordstrom

 

Finally, the Nordstrom BP 'Siam' Sandals I ordered recently arrived in the mail. They are simple while still being stylish. These sandals will go with everything and I cannot wait to style them.

 

 

I am looking forward to pairing these new pieces with some of my tried and true spring staples.
