Hey guys,
I am super excited for this post 1) because I am working with the amazing and forever stylish Brittany from The Broke Black Chick -- make sure you hit up here blog to see her Spring Essentials. And 2) because I am excited that it is finally getting warmer, and staying that way, here in Chicago so I can actually wear some of these things. Though you will notice this list is a little more tailored to Midwest temp!!

Though you will notice this list is a little more tailored to Midwest temp!!
1. Cardigans
Cardigans are my go to fashion essential for any season and any weather. They just effortlessly make an outfit look more put together and their are endless styles and cuts to choose from.
2. Graphic Sweaters
As mentioned before, a Chicago Spring is usually non-existent, so light weight graphic sweaters are ideal for keeping warm and stylish.
3. Boyfriend Jeans
Ever since I bought my first pair of these amazing jeans from Old Navy last spring, I have absolutely fallen head over heels in love with them and now own 6 (all from old navy). I love the ways they look and how amazing they fit.
4. Colorful Denim
I love breaking out the color in my wardrobe when spring and summer rolls around! Colored denim is easy to pair with a printed top and a cardi or a denim jacket. Easy, peasy, colorful, and defiantly spring time appropriate.
5. Scarves
Once again, an essential tailored to Chicago weather. I love scarves basically all year round. Colorful scarves can be worn during spring and summer to keep warm and add style, but I do have a number of lighter, printed ones to break out when the sun finally comes out.
6. "Keds"
I think ked like shoes are absolutely wonderful spring and summer. It is such a cute sneaker that come in many different colors and patterns. I love wearing them with jeans, shorts, and dresses to make an outfit more casually and comfortable, which is my year long fashion motto.
7. Sundresses
Speaking of dresses, spring and sundresses are pretty much made to go together. I love pairing really cute sundresses with a cardi or a denim jacket with some keds. Easy summer go to look right there.
8. Denim Jackets
I actually just made a post on my infatuation on denim jackets and how I style them (you can check out that post here), so I want get too in depth about this essential. Basically denim jackets have stolen my heart and become my new home. :D
9. Crossbody bags
I love crossbody bags. They are literally the only bags that I own. They are light and perfect for holding all your essentials!
10. Lace
Lace is probably my favorite fabric to wear during the spring and summer. I absolutely love how pretty, and usually floral, look. Lace shirts, lace dresses, even lace shorts are my spring and summer crutches.
