I should know better than this but I always think winter in Texas should end after Valentine’s Day. It makes no sense considering that some of our coldest weather is usually in February, but my mind has now made the shift to spring and so, therefore, it should be spring.
And earlier this week, it was. On Tuesday I had on shorts because I was so hot and by Wednesday I was watching the weather to see if a trip I had planned to Dallas would be canceled due to icy roads.
Reader, the trip did get canceled.
What I’m saying is nature clearly isn’t interested in my thoughts on when it should be spring, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not still focusing on spring clothing because we’re past the point of talking about sweaters even if sweaters are exactly what I’ll be wearing this weekend as I sit by the fire.
Here are some cute things I found this week:
1. free people harbor brocade platform sandals
Listen. I texted these shoes to show them to Sophie the other night and she texted back, “These take me right back to the 1990s”. She is not wrong, but that’s why I love them. I love a platform slide and these come in several colors that would be the cutest pop to spring and summer outfits.
They are $98.
2. universal thread platform heels
I mentioned these on our live Q&A on Patreon the other night. I love a wooden platform heel sandal and I’ve been wanting a white version but do not want to make a significant investment until I know if I love them. This Target version is what I like to call a “starter” shoe. You can see if they are something you love without spending a ton of money.
These are $34.99 and also come in cognac and black. They have great reviews.
3. kut from the kloth Katy boyfriend shorts
Many of you have asked for a longer denim short option and these are the best ones I’ve found. They are Kut from the Kloth which is always a great brand that tends to have a little bit of stretch and soft denim.
They are on sale for $29.97.
They also come in white right here which is another great color to have for summer.
4. marc Jacobs the cosmo leather crossbody bag
This is the cutest little crossbody bag with a fun striped strap. It’s a great bag for summer travel and such.
It’s on sale for $99.95. It also comes in red, black or tan.
5. can’t leave you behind blue striped tunic
I showed this in pink last week, but also love it in this blue and white. It would look so cute with white skinny jeans or even as a swimsuit coverup.
It’s $48.
6. keep me posted denim distressed overalls
I don’t mean to keep pushing overalls, but I just love them so much. This pair is a great wash and I love the light distressing.
They are $68.
7. new balance 327 in Milan grey
I have been wanting a pair of these New Balance 327s for a while but couldn’t decide on what color combo I wanted. Then I saw these. I love the neutral palette.
They are $128.
ABLE has such great jewelry and great prices. This bracelet is just $50 and you can get it personalized. It would make a great graduation gift or Mother’s Day gift or Easter gift. And they have so many pretty necklaces and rings that can also be personalized.
You can get 15% off everything at ABLE with code MELANIESHANKLE15.
9. blue and white striped cotton poplin kenzo dress
Well, this is just the cutest dress and it’s in my favorite blue and white stripe.
It’s $128. It also comes in other colors and patterns.
10. thml flutter sleeve stripe knit top
This is such a cute knit top for spring and summer. It will look great with light washed or white jeans or denim shorts. It’s $79.
That’s it for today.
Have a good Friday.
