This post isn't sponsored, by the way. Not that it would detract from it if it was, but I just want to put that out there since everything in this post is (pretty much) from GAP -- a place I often shop for Archer's jeans but seldom for myself.
in 1969 Jacket (M) and Pure Body long sleeved T (M) and Citizen jeans
"You're wearing my jeans!" said I.
His response? "Oh."
And he wore them for the rest of the day.
Anyway, tangent o'clock. Archer needed jeans so I went to GAP on a day everything in the entire store was 40% off, so, naturally, I went hunting for spring essentials and in doing so, collected a sort of "
This is the relaxed t-shirt dress, size M.

(Everything I purchased has pockets. Pockets are important.)
I bought four tunics/dresses, a pair of
overalls, a jean jacket and a much-needed black T. Apparently I was desperate
for wardrobe staples because these clothes have been game changers for getting
dressed in the morning.
GAP, I am glad for your sale. Thank you, sale.
This is what my last several weeks of
outfits have pretty much looked like. I have mixed a jacket here with a dress
there and, depending on the weather, jeans under tunic-y dresses, but all in
all, these are my staples at the moment as told through eight days of wear.
Day One: Overalls and Moto Boots
I was still recovering from a back injury on this day so overalls were where it was at. I had a heating pad on lock in these pictures and you would never know. Overalls are super sneaky like that.
I invested in the moto boots years ago. (BY FAR the most $ I've ever spent on shoes. They are NOT cheap. However. They were worth every penny. I wear them with everything. Flowy dresses, cut-offs in summer, skinny jeans in the winter... They are the most worn item in my closet hands down.)

ED: Hal was making fun of me for wearing these because overalls are LOL but I love them. I loved them at 16 and I love them now. They make me feel like a twelve year old ninety year old man. In a good way.

It was hot as balls on this particular day which is why I went bare-legged. I usually wear this dress over distressed jeans and my cork shoes.

Annnnndddd that's a wrap. This was fun. The white dress and the black tunic I think are especially fab now that I'm looking at all of these these pictures together. Definitely the most flattering, I think. Jean jacket, too. What about you guys? What are some of your go-to Spring essentials? Are you into the whole capsule thing? (My friend, Sarah ROCKS the capsule thing and is super amazing and inspiring at it.) I am a maximalist FOR SURE, don't get me wrong, but having some simple throw-on dresses has been lovely and easy and helpful. (Please feel free to share your spring essentials as well!)
