Spring has Sprung!

Happy Monday!

Hope your weekend was fab!  It was a busy start to the weekend for us, but ended on a relaxing note as we enjoyed our church's semi-annual general conference messages from the comfort of home.  Always uplifting!  Saturday morning I hosted a baby shower for my cute friend of mine whose due in less than 2 weeks...it was so fun!  I decided on a "Favorite things" theme...all the gifts people brought for the mom to be were favorite things of theirs (she already has a few kiddos so instead of baby gifts we did gifts just for her!).  I always love seeing what other people like!  It was a fun time and turned out well.  Here's a picture I snapped of the tablescape:


Onto a little fashion...

Oh my goodness, spring has finally arrived all over the place!  I'm loving all the fun, bright colors and warm weather apparel I'm seeing across the web!  Since Anthropologie is of course one of my favorite hot spots for clothing, I did some playing around on Polyvore with some of their newest offerings that I think are perfect for the new season.  I threw in some other brands as well for good measure.  I created some sets for you that highlight a few of my favorites.  The sets include both new, semi-new (recent sale) and older items that I already have in my closet.  I always try to mix old and new!  Click on the sets to find links to the items.

#1

3/4 Sleeve Floral Border Print Cardi/ Smocked Cadence Top/ Mystic Tieback Bib Necklace/ Lemon Stick Wedges

3/4 Sleeve Floral Border Print Cardi/ Smocked Cadence Top/ Mystic Tieback Bib Necklace/ Lemon Stick Wedges by jennifoundinmycloset featuring a bib necklace

Yes please, to every piece!  First of all, how cute is that cardi?!  Must have.  And the top is simply adorable.  It has a peplum quality about it in a longer length which is perfect for my long torso!  SOLD!  The Gap jeans are a recent purchase and I love them...just enough "destroyed" look without being too messy.  I took them in my regular Gap jeans size, size 0.  I just picked these cute earrings up last week when they went on sale.  They will go with EVERYTHING!  The necklace, bracelets and sandals are items I already own.

#2


Split Stripes Pullover/ Gap Legging Skimmer Jeans/ Mixed Spectra Necklace/ Shimmered Seagrove T-Straps

This shirt is adorable on and comes in three different motifs.  I usually have a serious dislike of all things with birds on them but for some reason I'm digging this cute print.  Guess I'm stepping outside my box a little!  The jeans are a recent purchase from Gap and I took them in my normal Gap jeans size.  I will say, however, that they are much brighter than the picture shows.  They are a bright lemon yellow which is so fun for the warmer seasons!  All other items in the set are in my closet.

Dot Always Skinny Skimmer Jeans/ Belted Cattleya Tunic/ Mixed Spectra Necklace/Waylan Harachi Cork Wedges

Dot Always Skinny Skimmer Jeans/ Belted Cattleya Tunic/ Mixed Spectra Necklace/Waylan Harachi Cork Wedges by jennifoundinmycloset featuring gap

I'm a huge fan of tunics and this one is no exception.  I love this festive print and the color as well.  I plan to try this on as soon as I have time to stop by my nearest Anthropologie.  The cute yellow bracelet is a new colorway of the same bracelet Anthro had this winter.  I helped my little brother pick out this bracelet in mint for his cute fiance this past Valentines day, and now I plan to pick this up for myself in yellow.  Love it!  The sandals are a recent purchase of mine.  I grabbed these at Target on one of my many trips to prepare for our vacations last month.  I love the metallic and the wedge feels super sturdy.  I'm not typically a huge fan of Target shoes, as they are often times very poorly made with cheap materials but these actually look and feel very well made and look more expensive than they are (only $30!).  I took them in an 8.5 (I usually wear an 8.5 or 9 in sandals).  The rest of the items in this set are are things I already own.

Fluttered Tunic Henley/ AG Stevie Ankle Denim/ Ampay Necklace/ Marvilis Wedges

Fluttered Tunic Henley/ AG Stevie Ankle Denim/ Ampay Necklace/ Marvilis Wedges by jennifoundinmycloset featuring cropped pants

Sticking with the tunic theme...I loved this one!  It comes in several colorways but this was my favorite I think.  It's perfect for mixing and matching with different colored bottoms and sandals.  All I need is the tunic to be able to complete this look...I already have the other items in the set.

Henley Peasant Top/ AG Stevie Neon Denim/ Figli Layer Necklace/ Gap Sandals

Henley Peasant Top/ AG Stevie Neon Denim/ Figli Layer Necklace/ Gap Sandals by jennifoundinmycloset featuring ag adriano goldschmied

This necklace....oh my.  LOVE it!  It's one of those must-have statement necklaces that Anthropologie is so good at serving up each season.  It will definitely be added to my collection at some point, for sure.  I also love this cute white peasant top.  Inevitably each spring I look for the perfect white top...it's like an innate reaction to the season change...weird, I know.  Very few years I find one, in all honesty.  I have high hopes for this one though!  I just hope it's not too boxy.  I'm planning to try it on next time I make it to Anthro.  I'm also loving these cute bow earrings...they'd be a great basic gold earring to have in rotation for summer. And there's that cute yellow bracelet again!  Love!  The rest of the items in this set are already in my closet (I own an almost identical pair of denim from Gap).

There are so many more great items I'm loving right now, I could go on and on!  I'm finding myself gravitating to a lot of tunics this season, perhaps because I'm seeing so many offered.  They are very flattering and I never have to worry about the length, which is always a plus.  Can't wait to get my hands on a few more!

What have you been eyeing this season?  Are you already sporting spring weather attire where you live?  What fab item have you bought lately that I must know about?  Please share!

I'll be back tomorrow with a recent outfit I wore so come on by!  Hope you have a great day!

  8. I LOVE these outfits. I just did some serious spring shopping at Burlitgon this weekend. I bought some of the tunic tops as well. I love the look they offer this time of year. They had some great discounts, so I saved quite a bit during my shopping trip.
