Spring Favorites

This first week of Spring brings favorites of all kinds – sweaters, tanner, a few books. Basically random Spring favorites.

Spring Favorites – Sweaters

I’m not certain I have ever understood what a Spring sweater was until now. Lightweight, colorful and affordable are the words I’d use to describe these sweaters. Worn with slacks, denim, shorts, or even a skirt, these versatile sweaters are perfect for Spring!

I love the lavender color of this henley style sweater. The sleeves are a slight balloon shape. It comes in 4 colorways and is just $10 right now. How cute would this be for Easter?

The second Spring sweater is so soft and feels so much more expensive than its current price – $10!It had been $36. I’m wearing a medium. Navy with white stripes, gives me all the nautical and preppy vibes.

Spring Favorites – Self Tanner

Spring means showing more skin and I like mine to have some color, safely. Self tanner has been a staple in my self care routine for years. By far, my favorite is Loving Tan. Here’s why: it dries quickly and the color develops in 2 hours. It also has no smell or odor but the reason I buy it and continue to buy it is because of the quick drying time. Use the mitt to help apply evenly without streaking.

I have tried all the drug store brands as well as some higher priced versions. None compare. Have you tried it yet?

Spring Favorites – Books

I can hardly discuss Spring favorites without mentioning a few good books. I love reading any time I get the chance. Usually I get recommendations by reading other blogs or I get my Amazon Prime free Kindle download each month. I keep a Pinterest board of books I want to read and regularly request titles from my library. Here are the books I am either currently reading or have recently finished reading:

The Lobotomist’s Wife by Samantha Greene Woodruff (reading on my Kindle)
The Magnolia Palace by Fiona Davis
Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult
Pack Up the Moon by Kristan Higgins

Not so Spring Outfits

These are a few of the outfits I wore this week, not to Spring, right? The weather is all over the place here – but mostly warm. I am wearing my favorites as much as I can before the really hot temps arrive. My dark, flare leg denim and of course my blazer. These are the outfits I wore to a Johnny Cash tribute band concert, just a day of working from home, and what I wore to my niece’s lacrosse game.
