Yellow is a huge color for the spring 2018 season. It is a color I love, yet don’t own very much of. So, after wearing yellow nail polish for a few weeks, I decided to invest in a yellow top for the spring season. Why not add some sunshine to my wardrobe!

I love how this top looks with black jeans and shoes. Since this top is yellow and black striped, I think the black jeans and shoes give it a simple, casual look. Of course, my husband told me I look like a bumble bee. Um. . .not cool. I might have to sting him for saying that! haha

My cute little nine-year-old son took these photos. Although some of them are a little blurry, I think he did a pretty good job!

Are you loving yellow for spring 2018?

Wearing a spring sweater in the snow

how to wear spring clothing in the winter how to wear spring clothing in the winter medium chloe nilespring clothing snow

wearing: pink snow hat (sold out, also love this one) / silver circle earrings / lipstick / blue turtleneck (color sold out, similar blue one here) / spring black and white sweater (last seen here) / black leather gloves / black handbag / spring nail polish / skinny jeans (sold out, similar here) / snow boots (so cozy and warm!)

I love love love this spring sweater I wore at fashion week with my menswear suit! It is really comfortable, and I love the style. So, when we were in Tahoe last week, I wanted to wear it; despite that fact that it was snowing pretty hard outside!

In order to style this spring sweater for snow weather, I layered it over a turtleneck in a contrasting color. Since there is a cold shoulder on the sweater, I thought the peek-a-boo color would be fun. It was perfect for the weather, and with the addition of a jacket, worked well for being outside in the snow.

This sweater will be fun to wear this spring season, and on cool summer evenings when the fog comes in. Do you try to wear spring clothing when it’s still winter outside? What are your tips and tricks?

Winter into spring athleisure dress

casual athleisure dress outfit ideas jd williams tote bag how to wear athleisure dress sneakers winter springjd williams silver sneakershow to wear a dress with sneakers

wearing: nautical navy statement earrings / lipstick / grey leather jacket c/o JD Williams (on major sale!!) / navy athleisure dress c/o JD Williams / spring nail polish / black tote bag c/o JD Williams (has a detachable shoulder strap) / sparkling silver street sneakers c/o JD Williams (so comfy!!)

Spring has sprung! Of course, as we transition from 40 degree winter weather, into our current daily highs of spring-like 75 degrees, our wardrobes need to transition too. It can be challenging to create an outfit which can easily flow between these extreme temperature swings, thankfully, the athleisure trend is an easy way to transition between seasons.

As you know, the athleisure trend is huge! The more popular athleisure looks become, the more variety we are all looking for while putting together our daily looks. I love this trend so much because it is comfortable, practical, and machine washable! haha Seriously though, who has time for running to the dry cleaners every week?

Athleisure styles are perfect for daily life, plus they are ideal for transitioning between seasons. I love being able to wear a casual dress with street sneakers (so very athleisure!) and also to be able to flow from 45 degree mornings into 75 degree afternoons. With the addition of this extremely soft and comfortable moto jacket by JD Williams, I can easily flow from winter mornings, to spring afternoons. Love that!

I spotted this dress on the JD Williams website. Instantly I could tell it would be something I could easily wear in the winter, and the upcoming spring season. Plus, it’s blue! You know that is my favorite color! It’s super comfy, and easy to pair with edgy street sneakers. I love silver footwear. Last fall I wore silver boots all the time; even at fashion week! So silver sneakers are a natural addition to my wardrobe. They add a bit of glam to athleisure looks. I’m all about a touch of glam in my daily looks!

This was my outfit a few days ago when I ran errands with the kids, tooks the kids to some of thier activities, and was on the go. It was super comfortable, and when the weather warmed up, I removed the jacket and felt perfectly fine. This dress can also be amped up for non-athleisure looks with the addition of booties, loafer pumps, or flats. It’s really versatile.

If you haven’t checked out the JD Williams website-check it out! They have so many cute looks you can wear now and throughout the spring season. Plus, they have some really cute coats on major sale! Also, JD Williams carries plus sizes in addition to missy sizes. Love that!

Have you been wearing the athleisure trend? Have you tried it with a dress?
