The last year or so I've taken to creating wishlists on my phone for when I go shopping (figuring out that I can do checklists in my iPhone's reminder app - priceless!). I did pretty well with my fall wishlist, and thought it was time to get my spring list ready :) Now, I am most likely NOT going to be buying all of these things...mostly because we're saving up to buy a house! But, I may be able to snag some version of most of them, especially if I hit up stores like TJ Maxx & Nordstrom Rack :) Oooh, or sample sites like Hautelook & Gilt (almost forgot about those!)
1. I'm really wanting a good pair of boyfriend-like jeans that look cute rolled up, and AE jeans look the best on me. I bought a cheap pair of jeans from Target last year, just to make sure I'd actually wear that look enough, and I lived in them! So this year I need some that fit a bit better in the booty area :)
2. I've also been on the lookout for colored jeans for a long time!! Every pair I've tried since they came back in style has NOT looked good, but maybe this year I'll have better luck :) I don't know if I want them cropped like in the picture, or long & skinny, but we'll see. I think I want a blue or aqua color...maybe pink or coral though :)
3 & 4. I used to have this really cute cropped trench from the LOFT that I wore to death! Literally to death...it now has holes and just will not iron out at all. (I even took it to get pressed at the dry cleaners, and they didn't have much more luck than I did.) And since spring is actually a bit chilly here, I need a good lightweight jacket. Now the question is whether I want another cropped trench like this one I found at the Gap, or one of the utility jackets I keep seeing for this spring...decisions, decisions :)
5. After all of this snow starts to melt, its definitely going to be wet outside! And spring is usually pretty rainy here, so I figure I definitely need some rain boots! Of course I'd love a colorful pairs of Hunter boots, but might have to settle for some from Target. The real question is, what color to get?? Any suggestions?
6. One item that's actually a holdover from my fall list is a chambray button-up. Something to wear with all the other colorful things I've got going on :) Plus I think it is pretty much a staple at this point!
7. Also a holdover from fall - a brown & gold crossbody bag! There were several times this fall when I was getting ready to go out and had zero bags that went well with my outfit, when a brown & gold crossbody would have been perfect! I would love a Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC, but anything similar would work.
8. Finally, a new bright colored Longchamp Le Pliage! I've been using a navy Le Pliage for over a year and absolutely love it! So much, in fact, that last year for my birthday I got a larger one for my travel carry-on. When they brought out all of their cute new colors for spring back in January, I had planned on getting one for my birthday this year (my birthday's in late January), but some unforeseen circumstances made me decide to hold off on any frivolous purchases. Maybe I'll grab one for spring though :) They're great for when it's wet outside!
And that's my Spring 2014 Wishlist! Is there anything you think I've left off that I need for this spring? Anything you're lusting after for when the weather finally warms up? Let me know!
Be Happy,
Karen
