Here’s a fun fact: I used to work at J.Crew back in my college days. Granted, it was one of the smallest J.Crew’s in the country back in little ‘ol Madison, WI, but I totally loved it. I loved it so much that every other weekend I would commute the 2.5 hours from Appleton to Madison just to keep my job there. Yeah, it was just as magical as you would expect it to be.
Besides having ah-mah-zing co-workers, my job was to style pretty pretty pieces all day long. I got to see the newest pieces before they hit the shelves, bask in the glory of collection pieces {eeeeeek!} and geek out with my friends over how amazing everything was. Plus, the discount was not bad {not bad at all!} As you would expect, I became a borderline shopaholic. I mean, with huge discounts on all your favorite clothes, it’s hard not to be. I would dream in 60% sales, about my favorite boots on clearance, and the sweet sweet feeling of filling up my shopping cart for under $100. Think I miss it? Obviously. Every freaking day.
But my point after that rather long tangent is to say that I know a good J.Crew piece when I see it. I’ve been around the block to know what pieces you need to make your spring wardrobe versatile and warm weather ready! Here are a few of my favorite basics that will rock your socks & prepare you for the wonderfulness of spring:
Aaaah, it’s all so good. But seriously, these 6 pieces will totally transform your wardrobe {and make you look forward to spring more, if that’s even possible}.
Shop ’till ya drop!
During college I worked at Victoria's Secret and Bath and Body works. By the time I was done, I had every lotion, body spray and soap known to mankind. It was so hard not to spend my entire paycheck!

I would love to work at J.Crew but wouldn’t save any money. It’d all be spent on clothes and pretty accessories! I’ll take everything in the set above please!
J.Crew can do NO wrong. None whatsoever.

I'm loving J.Crew's spring clothing! So cute and will be the perfect for getting anyone out of a winter style slump. Now, if I only had an unlimited budget for clothes I snatch up those mirrored silver flats they have in a heartbeat. 🙂
