Spring break as a GenX mother of three is much different than spring break as a college student. My spring break trip is not going to be on a beach filled with a wild MTV party. Did I just date myself? haha Does MTV still do spring break parties? Serious question. . . OK, I digress. . .

This spring break I am headed out to central Pennsylvania with my college-age daughter who does not party like it’s 1999. Instead, we are exploring places around the middle of the state. It will be fun! So, stay tuned. . .

What am I bringing on my spring break adventure? I am carrying on my suitcase and using a small portion of my spring capsule wardrobe to mix and match throughout the week. I am wearing my coat and a pair of jeans. Inside my suitcase is a second pair of jeans, trousers, boots, and several tops. When temperatures cool down, I will have a scarf and my coat.

What’s inside my spring break suitcase:

What’s inside my travel beauty bag (I have travel sizes of all these items):

Stay tuned for my adventures in central Pennsylvania!

Outfit inspo fisherman sandals

Wondering how to style fisherman sandals this spring season? Here is one outfit idea for block heel fisherman sandals. I bought this pair and I love them! The block heel makes them ideal for the wide leg pants which are hot this season, and they also offer some arch support and height when paired with dresses and skirts. Although fisherman sandals can be flat or with a heel this season, I prefer the block heel versions.

Fisherman sandals for spring are being shown in neutral hues for both the flat and block heel versions. I decided to go with black since I find it the easiest neutral shoe color to style. Although not shown in my shoe capsule for spring, these fisherman sandals are definitely part of my shoe capsule! I just happened to buy them after snapping photos for my capsule post. Ooops.

Anyway. . .

Stay tuned for more spring coverage and trend reports! Thanks for stopping by!

Outfit inspo early spring style

Outfit idea from top left: wide leg jeans (avl in petite, reg, and tall sizes) / spring sweater / hoop earrings / necklace / fisherman sandals / east/west bag /

Spring is upon us, so it is time to put some spring outfit ideas together! Shades of mocha are hot this year, so these classic and neutral pieces are perfect to mix and match now. Wide leg jeans are still hot, so this neutral pair is perfect for a spring look while keeping us warm during the cool spring weather.

Fisherman sandals are a hot trend this year and so is the east/west bag. These are two IT styles which will play well with all the spring and summer trends. Love that!

This spring season is all about chic and understated looks. Stay away from tight clothing, logos, and flashy looks.
