It’s still pretty much winter here in Chicago, but I have faith that soon enough it will become spring. Once the weather warms up and I’m actually able to put away my winter coat, I’ll be excited to wear this outfit on repeat. When it comes to perfecting my everyday go-to look, there are few pieces that I always gravitate towards and today I’m sharing what those are and why I love them…

A GREAT PAIR OF DENIM

You don’t need a lot of jeans in your closet, instead it’s best to invest in the perfect pair. Since the raw hem look is currently trending, I decided I needed to get myself some. I search wide and far, tried on a bunch of styles, and finally stumbled upon this pair. They’re super stretchy, extremely comfortable, high waisted {YES!}, and only $78. These are for sure a keeper and I promise I’ll be wearing them again on the blog soon because they are just that good.

A MOTO JACKET

Warmer temperatures call for lighter jackets and this moto jacket is always my go-to. It’s stylish with also a bit of edge and since it’s black, it goes with everything. You can easily dress it up or down depending on the occasion and it’s a piece you will for sure get a lot of use out of. My exact style is currently sold out {because it was just so cute!}, but I was able to find similar styles here, here + here.

A STRIPED SHIRT

I’ve always been a fan a stripes and even though they aren’t always the most flattering style, I tend to gravitate towards them on a daily basis. This cute striped shirt is lightweight and only $13. It also comes in red and navy too!

A CUTE CUFF

I don’t wear a lot of jewelry, but when I do I tend to gravitate towards chunkier pieces like this Inverse Cuff from AUrate. I love the fact that it actually fits my wrist, because I have a small one and sometimes have a hard time finding pieces that fit. It works well for an everyday bracelet, but can always be dressed up and worn at night too. I chose my Inverse Cuff in rose gold, but it also comes in yellow and white gold too. Like what you see? You can shop AUrate’s entire collection here.

GOLDEN GOOSE SNEAKERS

I actually wore these last week on the blog in this post, but I’m kind of obsessed so I had to break them out again. They’re extremely comfortable and are perfect for running errands, going to brunch with friends, or for me…taking my daughter to music class. I’m so in love that I think I might need to get this high-top version as well. My exact pair is sold out, but this pair and this pair are both pretty similar, and I was able to find a similar style for less here

CROSSBODY BAG

I’ve had this cross body bag for awhile and love the fact that it can be worn for both daytime as well as nighttime looks. It’s on the small side, but can hold a lot and matches almost any outfit I try it on with. You can shop it here, or I found some similar styles for less here, here, here + here. So these are my everyday springtime essentials and what I plan on wearing on repeat once the weather warms up here in Chicago. Later this week I’ll be sharing a Scottsdale Arizona guide with lots of pictures from my trip as well as an April Life Lately post so you can see what I’ve been up to this past month. Have a great week guys!
