It is, technically, Spring. Easy to forget, I suppose, when clad in a puffer coat. I do start trotting out an optimistic trench now and again, but it doesn’t last long. Trench Coats Are For May, I’ve discovered. Maaaaybe April. But definitely not March. March is for longing. I long for swimsuits, I long for little summer dresses, I long for sandals and bright pedicures, and to LOSE THE EFFING TURTLENECK ALREADY.
That last part. HARD.
Two Cute Tops Perfect For Spring
There are two tops, however, that I’ve been reaching for to break out of my turtleneck rut. They’re nothing ground-breaking — basically just fancy, long-sleeved t-shirts — but they’re warm enough (especially under that puffer, haha), rather pretty, and make me feel like Spring might actually be coming.
1. The Wrap Top That Can Be Layered
You’ve seen this one before (here). But this faux-wrap top by Bobeau is butter soft, looks cute tucked or un-tucked (I like it tucked) and layers beautifully under sweaters. Right now it’s still fully stocked in a bunch of colors.
Outfit Details
top: Faux Wrap Top by Bobeau (wearing a size xs, for reference)
jeans: GRLFND Karolina Skinny Jeans (25) – These jeans keep going out of stock, but they’re some of my favs right now. That link will show you all of the washes that are currently in stock. Mine are old, but as you can see, they basically keep doing the same formula. If you go with petites, be aware that the measurements across the thigh are slightly wider. (Our handy denim comparison chart is here.)
shoes: Everlane Day Glove Flat – These shoes are BUTTER soft. On my first day really wearing them, I was able to walk for over a mile with no issues. LOVE THESE.
trench coat: Banana Republic Water Resistant Classic Trench (xs) – I’m obsessed with this thing. THIS is the trench that I’ve been dying to wear. It’s currently 40% off, too.
2. The Versatile Off-The-Shoulder Top
This one is more long-sleeve-tee when zipped…and rather sexy, unzipped.
Outfit Details
top: Free People Nikala Tee (xs) – You get free shipping on orders over $100…so maybe throw this bralette in your cart, too. Tons of good reviews, and would be perfect peeking out.
jeans: GRLFND Karolina Skinny Jeans (25) – These jeans keep going out of stock, but they’re some of my favs right now. That link will show you all of the washes that are currently in stock. Mine are old, but as you can see, they basically keep doing the same formula. If you go with petites, be aware that the measurements across the thigh are slightly wider.

shoes: Everlane Day Glove Flat – These shoes are BUTTER soft. On my first day really wearing them, I was able to walk for over a mile with no issues. LOVE THESE.
bralette: Madewell lace longline bralette – This one is pretty comfy, too.
Do you guys have any easy, go-to tops that are easing your transition to Spring? If so…SPILL.
