Style Round-up: Six Trends to (Bargain) Shop for Spring

Hello and happy Monday! Productive is the name of the game this week, as I had a marathon dance party kind-of-weekend. It’s refreshing to spend a day or two offline, isn’t it? On the down-side, my heels will be staying put on the shelf for today (and possibly tomorrow). How was yours?


As the final installment in a six-part styling series I’ve been writing with Marshalls, I thought I’d recap each of the spring trends I was challenged to assemble for the season.

Which outfit is your favorite? Is your style more luxe and lady-like or color-blocked to the nine’s? Personally, I’ve been building a lot of my outfits around a neutral foundation — monochromatic style is a trend that’s really resonated with me this spring.

Lastly, a quick note of thanks, ladies: I really appreciate you following along in this style series. As a tried-and-true bargain shopper, I’ve grown up hunting designer fashions for less at Marshalls. As a result, I’m thrilled to have been afforded the opportunity to be a part of this campaign. I haven’t done a stye challenge since Rimmel, so it was a fun one!

Don’t forget to check out the video that Marshalls and I filmed together on spring style. That husky man voice of mine alone is worth a listen, trust. Wink!

Video: In the Studio with Marshalls

In the past month, you’ve likely noticed that I’ve been donning a series of spring-inspired ensembles from Marshalls. In addition to street styling, I had the good fortune of spending some time in the studio with Marshalls and a few of my favorite bloggers, dishing on-camera about our favorite spring fashion trends.

Bright White

As the weather warms and the days get longer, I can literally feel myself waking up as a happier person. (*Editor’s Note: Ironically, it’s dark and rainy in New York this morning.)

One thing the Serial Snooze Artist in me loves about spring? Coordinating an outfit in the morning isn’t as much a task anymore. (Though I should note that a large part of that is because I just recently fully unpacked – whoops!)

As a result, it’s been easier to hone in on a decided signature style for the season… Namely, neutral separates, bright white layers and a metallic accents. Repeat offender, right this way!

What I Wore (The Night Before?)

… No, this isn’t one of those outfits, but the elderly audience who was watching Jessica and I shoot these photos from the restaurant across the street sure thought it was.

I may have looked Last Night’s Chic to the non-style savvy among us, but little do they know that I find that to be quite the compliment. Sequins for daytime? Super chic. Chambray? Always. Paired with leg-lengthening metallic sandals? Clearly.

In other words:

haters gonna hate meme

Hehe. Lately, I’ve been the poster child for blousy tops. For work, on weekends, dressed up, dressed down; you name it. Chambray, specifically, is the epitome of versatile style. It’s wearable with anything — like a sleek maxi skirt or paneled black leggings — which is always a do in my book.

How do you wear yours? (Share links in the comments, if you’ve got posts!)
