Leave it to TopShop to make the perfect on-trend spring layering piece for $38. Pairs well with this H&M tweed shacket. Speaking of things on-trend, light wash 90s fit denim is becoming a staple everyone should have in their wardrobe. I love this Everlane pair, and the price point, if you don’t have this style in your arsenal yet.

I’m all about investing in a great shoe and few accessories once a season. They bring basic outfits to life. The Aeyde “Betty” flat have an elongated square toe you’re going to start to see everywhere this spring. You can pair these with tailored separates or denim for a polished casual look. The color and shape of this Mansur Gavriel bag is stunning. I love a green bag and pair it with outfits as if it were neutral. Finish any spring outfit with this Lizzie Fortunato gold bracelet and you’re set.

Spring can be an unpredictable time weather-wise here in Chicago. In my seven years of living here it’s never not snowed in April. So yes, shearling for spring people. It’s a thing.

On the bright side of having no sun for the foreseeable future, there are major sales on sweaters and jackets you’ll wear now and for the next three months. It’s our duty as Midwesterners to take advantage of these deep discounts. Why not start with this cashmere sweater and shearling jacket.

Oh, and booties, remember those? Remember when we wore cute heeled booties and raw denim to go to the grocery store? It honestly seems absurd now. However, I do believe the day will come again when we will want to wear heeled booties to elongate our pasty white winter legs in spring dresses, and this Mango pair is perfect for the job.

And now you know..
