Stylish Monday Link Up: How We Style Spring

Ladies, Happy April 1st! Today on my blog post I am joined by my wonderful blog sisters as we share our favorite spring trends!

I bet a lot of you have pieces in your closet like me that can be worn again for this year and can be restyled!

So many oldies but goodies are being recycled for spring and all you have to do is shop your closet,

Here’s a few spring trends you may want to purchase or see if you have them in your closet!

The little bag

I bet a lot of you have tiny bags that you can use for spring! I have this vintage Chanel cross body bag ( only good for lipstick and my cell phone) . Little bags of different shapes and sizes are now trending. Little bags on lanyards, mini duffel bags, and the fanny pack is back as a more sophisticated belt bag.

Black leather is back for the spring and summer and I bet you have one in your closet!

Also trending in the little purses are unique ones with handles. I have a cigar box and recently purchased this cute little bag with the tortoise shell handle that can also be worn as a cross body bag. ( I will style it later.)

Jess of Elegantly Dressed and Stylish is wearing the round circle bag and a floral dress that is also a spring fashion trend.

Cindy of Middle Sister Style is wearing the belt bag and for those of you with fabulous legs try wearing the biker shorts that is also trending for spring! Bravo Cindy!

Polka Dots are still trending.

I love the polka dot trend for spring. So youthful! I have this ruffled sleeve navy polka dot blouse from last year.

Michele of Seechele Styles is also wearing polka dots for her spring fashion.

I saw these cute polka dotted flats and purse at Talbots when I was shopping for my trip.

Tweed Jackets

You saw this look before when I styled this vintage tweed jacket a couple of weeks ago. Tweed jackets are so versatile and can be dressed up or worn with jeans.

I took the tweed jacket on my trip to Barcelona but here I am wearing it with jeans. ( after 9 hours of flying I still looked good)

Denim Jackets

I own a vintage denim jacket and was thinking about bringing it on my trip but I really wanted to purchase a white one. Denim jackets are a classic item that never goes out of style. This black and white outfit was worn while I was sightseeing in Barcelona. Everyone was wearing black on the streets. You would think I was in New York!

You will see a lot more of my trip to Barcelona later. I am still in Barcelona with so much more to share with you! Here we are in front of the Sagrada Família, a wonderful unique cathedral designed by the Spanish architect Gaudí.

Andy of Pearls and Pantsuits is also wearing a white denim jacket.

Here’s another look at my 15 year old denim jacket worn with my 15 year old utility pants from Ralph Lauren that I wore in my last blog post. Utility style is trending again too!

Trench coats

Nina of Sharing a Journey is wearing a pastel pink short trench coat.

Suzanne of Ask Suzanne Bell is wearing a denim trench coat over a striped linen skirt.

Animal print

Julie of Fashion Trends and Friends is wearing her snake print pants with Pantone’s color of the year, coral.

Emma of Style Splash is wearing neon pink with her zebra print skirt.

Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style is wearing dark floral print with bright orange as her spring fashion trend.

Nicole of High Latitude Style is wearing white booties as her spring fashion trend.

  1. I visited Barcelona for the first time last spring when my son was studying abroad there. What an amazing city!!!! How I wish I could go back. You are right … they certainly do wear a lot of black. I would have loved to have a jacket like your black and white one to go with the black jeans I wore almost DAILY there. Where did you find your tweed jacket?

  2. Okay, now I’m definitely getting a pair of white booties! I hesitated all winter because I didn’t think I’d wear them, but they are perfect for springtime! And i am a huge fan of cross body bags, as they are so convenient, especially when commuting in the city. My problem is always finding one large enough that holds my already pared down necessities while not being too overwhelming for my body.

      Tina,

      I love the white booties too but I haven’t purchased them either. I am always cautious with new trends but this boot has been around for 2 years.
      Crossbody bags are so important when traveling or working in the city and the one I took to Barcelona even carried a camera in it.
      I am sure you will find one perfect for you!

      Hugs,
      Robin

  3. I love those purses… and you as always look fabulous in everything, as do all the girls. Looking forward to your post on Barcelona. xx

    I am loving the super cute smaller purses we are seeing for spring. Many of them remind me of the 80’s. White denim jacket is my new best friend!!! So glad spring is finally HERE!
