Pool Bag: Vera Bradley --> check out the retired

pool days because it's easy to reapply over and over

Flip Flops: Old Navy

Hat: Vineyard Vines ---> perfect for messy hair

Sunglasses: Forever 21 --> cheap in case they get lost or broken

Croakies/Sunglass Strap: Lilly Pulitzer --> makes it easy to keep

the hot summer heat

Yellow for Spring

Alice Olivia yellow shirt/ J Crew hooded coat / Warehouse yellow coat/ J Crew long skirt / Skinny pants / Forever New midi skirt/ Tory Burch thong sandals / Valentino leather flat / Topshop leather backpack / Givenchy leather handbag / Vera Bradley drawstring bag

Add some color to your spring wardrobe with a pop of yellow! Even some of your favorite designers have included yellow into their spring and summer lines. Since yellow can be a bit intense, try keeping the rest of the outfit simple and laid back. I styled 4 of the pieces that will add the perfect amount of yellow to any spring occasion. 

Calypso St Barth slim fit shirt / Abercrombie & Fitch white distressed boyfriend jeans / J.Crew j crew boots / Topshop leather knapsack / Michael Kors bracelet watch / J Crew bracelet bangle / Kate spade bracelet

Keep it casual with ripped boyfriend jeans, ankle boots, and a white t-shirt. For the added pop of color, try this yellow fringed backpack, the perfect spring accessory. 

MANGO zip top/ J Crew knee length pencil skirt / Stiletto pumps / Danielle Nicole zipper purse / Oasis yellow gold jewelry / Hinged bracelet / The Limited metal necklace

I'm loving J. Crew's new Lemon Tiger Lilly line for pre-order. Although it may be a bit more pricey, it's perfect to add a little color to your work attire! If you keep the rest of the outfit simple with a white blouse, a simple gold necklace, and black pumps, its perfect for the office!

J Crew long sleeve tee / J Crew swing trench coat / J.Crew straight leg jeans / J.Crew j crew shoes / J Crew genuine leather handbag / J Crew crystal jewelry

Who doesn't love an entire J. Crew outfit. Keeping the outfit simple with ripped jeans, a navy and white stripped shirt, leather shoes and bag, and lastly a crystal necklace, this is the perfect look for spring with a yellow jacket to keep you warmer on chilly spring days. 

Alice Olivia crop shirt / Topshop white lace mini skirt / J/Slides gold heel shoes / Tory Burch pink tote / Kendra Scott 14k ring

The perfect look for a spring business meeting or even a nice date! A plain yellow top paired with this lace skirt is the perfect way to incorporate color and texture into a spring outfit!
