Spring 2024

Is it time to invest in a white denim jacket? I think so. This is Kut from the Kloth.

Vineyard Vines knocked it out of the park with this darling blue/white striped cardi jacket. I've seen it, and it's super.

I've purchased this, and I'm enjoying it a lot!

An overlong cardi worn open over a top and jeans looks fun and interesting.

Sweater jacket by Alex Mill for cooler evenings (where you get those - not in Dallas).

Classic cardigans can look dated, but when it's an interesting weave, cropped and oversized buttons, it looks more youthful and interesting. Alex Mill.

This is a linen / Tencel blend. Dare I hope this makes it less wrinkly? A nice lightweight piece for spring layering.

Nic+Zoe jacket could work for the office or simply as a nice third piece that isn't a cardigan or blazer.

Just a simple white tee with an edge. No need to tuck. AYR.

Oh, me and a graphic tee. I have bought fewer in recent years, but I'm tempted by this tiger one. Would be great under a denim jacket or any of the cardis and jackets in this catalog.

Linen tees have nice drape. This one is Alex Crane.

If I weren't already set with striped tees, I'd so get this.

Striped linen shirt by Alex Crane would be so nice with white jeans, a denim skirt or with khaki shorts.

The most fun silk shirt by Boden. Love. Great dressed up with trousers for work but also down with shorts for the beach.

Striking color combo on this romantic top by Sundance.

Drapy romantic top by Sundance. Good tucked into shorts or with jeans for a date night.

The safari pant continues to be popular. The model is wearing hers oversized, but it fits as a high rise. I've seen it, and it is a very nice pant.

I bought the Banana Republic barrel pants later summer last year, and I have enjoyed them. A nice shape.

A good little weekend pant: the RecTrek by Outdoor Voices.

I have loved my Athleta linen joggers.

Slim straight jeans by J.Crew. A good wash for spring.

Gap carpenter jeans are taking me back to the 80s in a good way.

Fun tonal jeans by Everlane.

I might pull the trigger on a skort this summer. Mid-thigh length on this one by Athleta.

J.Crew. It comes in other colors like blue/white stripe. The black is chic, although too hot for Dallas summers.

A simple shirt dress for the office. Boden.

I've seen this dress in person. Splurgy but well made. Finley. Goes up to size 16.

Lovely smocked dress.

This works beautifully belted.

I'd belt this dress to give it shape. The color is outstanding.

I'd wear this Frank & Eileen "dress" as a swim cover up. Love the soft colors of this print.

Love the simplicity of a t-shirt dress. This one is maxi length, slightly longer in the back.

For those curious to try the mesh shoe trend, this could be a nice starting place.

I saw these Birdies flats at Nordstrom, and they are cute cute cute. Great for summer.

One more woven flat for your consideration. Birdies.

Iridescent flats by Kate Spade. Limited sizes.

Who is liking the flat Mary Janes? This is Sam Edelman. The crystals add a fun pop.

A perfect loafer for spring.

Ladylike slingback by Sam Edelman. Modern square toe.

Yes, silver remains hot. I couldn't resist showing these to you, but it does come in other colors, lots of colors. Sam Edelman.

A platform sneaker elevates the spring wardrobe. Wear with dresses, shorts or pants. I find Converse runs large. I'd get these in size 7 (I wear 7.5-8 in most shoes).

A platform sandal by Nike at DSW. I bought the Sorel black/white sandal last year and have loved it.

Clog sandals continue to be popular. I've loved these by Sezane for a couple of years. Comes in a variety of colors. Gold is fresh and goes with everything.

I think I recommend Sam Edelman's Bay slides every year. Love this color.

Fun twist on a flat sandal.

People are loving the Fisherman style sandals. I think it looks more attractive as a mule.

A flat sandal with support and structure. Sam Edelman.

Four great colors in this OluKai sandal.

Crochet bag is ethically made in Bali.

A darling woven bag for spring.

Get ready for weekend trips with this tote by Lululemon.

I've been admiring an oversized link bracelet by another jewelry designer for a while. Love the price point of this one.

Summer means braided belt to me for some reason. Anyone else? This one is Faherty.

I saw a Shebobo straw hat at a resale shop in Seattle years ago. I didn't buy it, but I've kept my eye on Shebobo ever since. These hats are packable for summer travel.

For reference, I am a size 2 and take a size S in this suit. My torso (rise) is long.

Who doesn't love a simple white shirt as a swim cover up?
