Spring 10×10: The first 3 days
Day 1 | I wore this to a casual meeting downtown and will definitely be wearing it again. It's super simple with a sweater and ripped jeans. I like the lighter denim (got them at Urban Found in Holland) with ivory and light tan booties. Even though it's still cold this outfit got me in the mood for Spring!

Day 2 | Definitely took a look from my Mom's playbook with this outfit. The top used to be my mom's and I found these flare jeans for $2 in the bargain bin at Rock, Paper, Scissors! I had them altered but I wish I would've gotten them a bit shorter. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this light blush color with my winter skin – I thought I'd look too washed out. But I actually love the tone on tone. It feels delicate and feminine with some subtle bell sleeves.

Day 3 | For a cozy Sunday I put on my ivory sweater again with navy trousers and loafers. I originally picked these trousers for some work meetings coming up but I like how casual they can be! I even wore this to walk Tiger and regretted it...still too cold! It was perfect for a couple of episodes of Nashville with Joel on the couch though.

This season's 10x10 feels so different than last season. Maybe it's because we've been moving all weekend so wearing my first 3 outfits with a different backdrop & lighting has created additional challenges. Or maybe it's because I struggle most with Spring style. Balancing lighter hues with cold weather doesn't come naturally to me. I like warm or cold, not this in-between. I'm pretty black and white that way. :P
I'm definitely going for casual vibes this challenge and accessorizing very little for simplicity so I'm liking what's coming from that. I'll be back in a few days with my outfits on days 4 – 6. In the meantime check out the #spring10x10 hashtag on Instagram. I love seeing how everyone is styling their items. There's a lot of brighter neutrals like rust, bright pink, and marigold and some springy patterns that are inspiring me!
How do you balance the cold and celebration of Spring in your wardrobe? Any tips?!
