The Best of Spring with Boston Proper

Spring fashion never looked better! It’s almost spring and time to refresh your closet with a few new fun and versatile pieces from Boston Proper!

It’s still a little cool here in North Carolina even though we’ve had some warmer days. The flowers are blooming and everything is getting green which makes my winter wardrobe seem old and tired. The trick in springtime is staying warm until the temperatures start to creep up, so layering is a must!

As I get older, I want to add pieces that follow the current trends but are timeless and classic at the same time!

I love wearing jackets in the spring because they add a layer of warmth when the weather is cool and also add interest to an outfit. This season, you’ll find beautiful leather jackets in fabulous spring colors like the fabulous blue peplum jacket I’m wearing here from Boston Proper! It’s so flattering and perfect with white but also looks amazing with black, denim and even pink. It’s a jacket you’ll reach for often.

I've paired the jacket with slit front trousers (another spring trend) and a v-neck tank. Strappy sandals dress this outfit up for any event. Again, as with the jacket, the slit front trousers will be your go-to pants for the season!

The sheer trend is huge this spring and it can go wrong very quickly (in my opinion). The blouse I’m wearing here is a perfect tasteful example of the sheer trend. Perfect for cocktails…this blouse features balloon sleeves and pearl detail. It comes with the separate silk cami underneath. White jeans and strappy sandals make this blouse ideal for cocktails at home, but it can easily be dressed up for a more formal occasion!

I’ve featured this look previously on the blog, but I thought it deserved another mention because it’s so wearable! It’s an elevated every day look that you’ll want to put on over and over! This neutral look features white jeans, a white tank and a tan sweater…all from Boston Proper. I added white sneakers and a belt to complete this look!

I’m including a few more perfect-for-spring pieces from Boston Proper in the boutique below! Be sure to check out the Boston Proper website to see the entire spring collection! Enjoy!

Marta's of Raleigh - A Local Boutique You'll Love!

I had the great pleasure of spending a day at Marta’s of Raleigh last week! I follow Marta’s on Instagram and since the boutique is close by in Raleigh (about an hour), I decided to go and see it in person and I’m so glad I did!

Marta’s has so many fabulous pieces that I had a hard time deciding what to try on first! I ended up with a dressing room full and actually didn’t have time to try on everything! Oh well, that just means I’ll have to go back very soon! I was able to meet Marta, the owner, who is so lovely and passionate about her beautiful store! Everyone was so helpful and gave me honest opinions about the things I tried on! Marta’s carries brands that I know and love and some new ones that I discovered! All in all it was a wonderful day! Keep scrolling to see some of my favorite outfits!

I went nuts over this Oliveve Zoe Suede Tote! It’s the perfect combination of boho and practical and is made from Italian Suede.

If you’ve read this blog at all, you know that I’m a jeans girl through and through! Marta’s carries DL1961 jeans and I’ve been wanting to try them…needless to say, I love the fit and my favorite pair came home with me! I wore them to dinner last night and Baldy loved them! He’s not a fan of ripped jeans and he was happy to see me in a pair of dark wash jeans with no distressing! The cute Cashmere Crochet Cardigan sweater from Repeat is perfect for spring and would go with so many outfits. I’m wearing a Michael Stars tank underneath. The Gabor sneakers may be the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had on my feet and the bow detail is adorable! The icing on the cake is the necklace by Frence Kande!

Maarta’s has a huge selection of denim jackets (DM or call if you want info on these)! They are made with vintage, one-of-a-kind scarves (see below for the back of this one!) I wanted every one of them because they are such amazing statement pieces! AND…I found THE perfect pair of joggers…Raffaello Rossi Candy Sweat Pant! No kidding…I love them! I can’t say enough about the fit, the fabric and the look of these joggers! I want a pair in every color and I may just get them! I’m wearing a Splendid Short Sleeve Tee underneath, Gabor sneakers and a vintage Chanel Bag! This outfit is comfortable, cute and will definitely stand out in a crowd! I love it!

The white DL1961 jeans are just as cute as the dark wash and I love the cropped style! I paired these jeans with a Tart Collection Blouse that is 100% organic cotton! The adorable white REMI REID Departure Tote is the perfect accessory along with the Moss Green Gabor Sneaker! See below for a close up of the Asha By Ashley McCormick Clover Lariat necklace I paired with this outfit!

Another cute denim jacket is paired with cream color DL1961 straight leg jeans. These jeans utilizes the Instasculpt technology to smooth, sculpt, and conform  to your body for the perfect fit and you’ll love them! I paired them with a black tee from Splendid and the cutest orange bag (sold out but there are so many cute ones!). The necklace is French Kande and really adds pizazz to an already fabulous look!

Casual chic in a MeiMeiJ Pleat Ruffle Sleeve Top with DL1961 jeans, Gabor sneakers and a cute denim jacket tied around my waist. The adorable Remi Reid Daryl Bow Tie Crossbody bag completes the look!

Another cute way to style the amazing joggers…with heels to dress them up! This time, the joggers are paired with a Michael Stars tank, and the most butter soft leather jacket ever (this one came home with me!) The cute necklace isn’t on the website, but definitely call or DM if you’re interested! The bag is a Rafe Sofia Clutch.

This last look features a dress from Ba&sh Paris (same brand and very similar here)…one of my favorite brands! It’s so cute paired with the Gabor sneakers and a white tote for a casual look, but a pair of sandals would definitely be fabulous as well!

Marta’s was established as a shopping destination for ladies clothing in Raleigh. We set the standard for exceptional customer service and one-of-a-kind selection of designer brands. Our carefully curated catalog of designers will flatter women of all body types and ages.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this post! Definitely peruse the website and if you’re ever in Raleigh NC, stop by Marta’s and tell them the Crazy Blonde sent you! Happy Monday!
