I stepped off of the plane from Guatemala on Friday night at midnight, so excited for Spring in #RVA. We had spent 10 days in the balmy Central American temperatures and I expected to find our beloved hometown fully in bloom, temperate and ready for my new spring wardrobe. Much to my dismay, this weekend was made up of 50 degree temps with the sun making the occasional appearance. I have to admit I was disappointed, but not entirely so. I love any opportunity to wear a comfy sweater and Catherine can attest to the fact that I am always trying to make them fashionable, but rarely find success in doing so. Needless to say, when we were picking out our Sunday threads to head to our friend’s studio opening, I was finally able to make this old Theory sweater happen!

By the time you guys are reading this, I’ll be back in Guatemala, on a coffee farm or in a cooking class or perhaps helping out some children on Lake Atitlan. However, as I’m writing this I’m currently procrastinating from packing – a struggle Cath and I both know all too well. I’m staring at an empty suitcase with a 5am wake-up call and know I HAVE to get started. Two of the first things I always start with are a good basic staples that I can wear over and over again (this maxi & shirtdress) and the perfect pair of sunnies. Read on to find out about DITTO!

Big Love
Since Day One, I have been referring to this outfit as “The Big Love Look.” I don’t know if its the length of the dress, the neck tie or the turtleneck, but something just made me feel like I was channeling Chloe Sevigny. (I love Chloe Sevigny). The even funnier little tidbit about that is that every time I referred to the outfit as such, Cath was confused. She was not an avid Big Love viewer, as I was, and therefore it took her a few seconds each time to remember what I was talking about. Maybe this was just funny to us, but there you have it.
On another note, I think this outfit is the perfect example of Spring Layering. I think we may have finally reached the end of tights season,so that aside, everyone needs the perfect flowy midi and light sweater combo during these not-yet-hot months! This Zara tunic has become a staple in my wardrobe this month and I have a feeling it will stay that way through the Summer. I’ve linked my pieces at the bottom as well as other similar alternatives for a perfectly layered look.

Levi’s 501s + Zappos
On Monday, Catherine showed off her new Zappos x Shopstyle pieces and the versatility of an awesome LNA Maxi and now its my turn! Along the same lines, I chose pieces that I knew I would wear over and over again and can become staples in to my day-to-day outfit rotation. Every girl needs that perfect pair of boyfriend jeans to throw on to go to the movies, or out for a day of festival hopping and I found these Levi’s 501 Tapered pair to be the perfect fit for me!
Spring Picks with Zappos x Shopstyle
Is everyone counting down the days until Spring like the two of us? I will be celebrating the first day of Spring in California while Rebecca heads to Guatemala for a week. We will be apart from each other for a whole 10 days and the separation anxiety is going to be in full force. I am last minute heading to LA next week for fashion week and have partnered with our friends at Zappos & Shopstyle Collective to show you some of my favorite Spring picks (aka what will be my saving grace in my suitcase next week) from Zappos.com. Reb’s picks are shortly after mine!
