In Preparation for Spring: Topshop Wishlist


Also seen on my Polyvore here

As you can see, I've developed a little obsession with everything Topshop (...just a little bit.) With Nordstrom taking in the uh-mazing British brand allowing more convenient access to those in the US, I've been dying to get my hands on almost everything! Unfortunately, I have yet to pay a visit and satisfy my needs. So here I have assembled a small wishlist of my must-haves to help prep my wardrobe for the upcoming spring months.

Living in Seattle, sweaters are, of course, major essentials all-year round. Recently I have been interested in tops that outline and flatter my figure rather than opting for the popular slouchy look that is so often associated with winter which is why these two sweaters are high up on my list. I love skinny long sleeves and the cropped trend, so these are perfect! These black high-wasited faux leather skinnies are also an item I have been eyeing for months now. I saw them on one of my favorite bloggers and have wanted a pair ever since.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am, by all means, a skirt/dress type of girl. Not even the freezing weather can stop me from wearing a skirt and tights everyday! Spring is known as the floral season ("Florals for spring? Groundbreaking.") but no matter how much I would hate to be judged by The Devil Wears Prada Meryl Streep, I will never stop loving the print! It's very girly which is exactly the type of word I would use to define my style. I can already imagine myself wearing this daisy print dress and floral skirt more than I should. I love skirts, I love sequins - you probably wouldn't want to see my reaction to a sequined skirt. (Spoiler alert: I would probably die.) I would love to own this Topshop skirt to have on deck for dressy events but I would also shamelessly wear them for more casual days, such as a school day or for shopping.

What are your spring essentials? What trends have you been loving this season? Let me know in the comments below!

Hugs and kisses!
