Wardrobe Essentials for Spring

Every season, there are certain items that we need in our closet that are our go-to’s. The items we grab to mix and match with other items within our wardrobe to make our outfits.

These are some of my wardrobe essentials for spring and at least one to two of these items are featured in almost every outfit of the week.

White jeans are a wardrobe essential for me and these white jeans from Loft are on constant rotation in my spring outfits.

Wardrobe Essentials for SpringBecause the weather has been so cool lately I’m grabbing cardigans and jackets. This cardigan from JCPenney is soft and stylish.

Wardrobe Essentials for SpringI mentioned recently that I’m on a search for the perfect white tee. This soft vintage tee from Gap is a good one. It’s thick enough that I didn’t have to wear a cami under it. It runs small so I would go up one size.

Wardrobe Essentials for SpringAnother thing that is on constant rotation in my spring wardrobe are these wedges from Target. I wear them all the time.

Wardrobe Essentials for SpringI did purchase these Sam Edelman flats from Nordstrom for travel and I have to say I am in love with them. If you’re traveling or doing a lot of walking these are a great flat and they come in several colors.

  1. Love to see all your beautiful outfits & have tried to use what I have to copy. I am 62 years old and try very hard to look somewhat ok when I go to work in our school library. Thank you

  2. I love seeing your posts on pinterest but I haven’t been seeing them for some time, Also I no longer get emails. Just tried to re-sign up and it said you no longer can. Hope all is well!

  3. One of my favorite outfits ever! The cardigan is sold out in the Bl online, so I may actually have to go to a store as I really want that cardigan!

  4. Beautifully inspiring! I love this look so much and want to try the wedge you are wearing here. I am always so afraid to wear a 4.5″ heel, as I’m 5’5″ and very slender so I feel so tall in them. Gonna give them a try again. Thank you for your lovely fashion blog…you truly are an inspiration to look our best every day.

  5. I think this is one of my favorite outfits you have done. I have slowly been replacing my wardrobe and your posts have been so helpful.

  6. Love this, Cyndi, along with so many you’ve posted! I’ve been looking for the perfect white T, so I was excited when you said you were going to post about it. Heading to Gap.

  7. Love the outfit and I do agree I discovered those Sam Edelmann flats couple of years ago as a sales person had recommended them to me. They are my most favorite shoes I have ever purchased I wore my so much that they wore down it was hard for me to throw them out. Love all your inspirational thoughts they always help me throughout my days as a military wife, mother of four and now have recently become an empty nester. Thank you once again.

  8. Love this outfit!!! And your right, I have those Sam Edelman flats is the saddle color and just purchased the cheetah. They are super comfortable!!!

  9. This, my friend, is a GORGEOUS OUTFIT! Everything about this looks great, love your hair, your earrings, the cardigan over the white on white, I have the Loft white jeans and loooove them, I honestly think I’m gonna try to put this look together for a Sunday afternoon outing this weekend! How’s the packing going?

  10. I stopped at JCPenney today and bought the cardigan for $25. I have the loft white jeans and a loft white t-shirt so I’m going to totally copy this look. You look adorable!

    1. Which jcpenny had them? I live in the Chicago area and they seemed like o be totally out. Thank you!

  11. I can definitely vouch for the Felicia flats–very comfortable. I also have some Dexflex ones from Payless that are also comfortable (and less expensive). I may have to take the plunge–finally–on white jeans.

  12. Question: If you use a “white” or light color polish on your toes, what happens to that polish when you use your self-tanner? Do you put lotion on your nail bed or something else to keep the tanner away?

  13. Sam Edelman Felicia flat is my go to comfort flat, I have a narrow foot and they do not slip or slide up and down on my heel and that is saying something, cute and comfortable. White jeans are a must I wear Ralph Lauren straight legged jeans, tried and true for years.

  14. Another spot on outfit! I think this is the year I AM going to get white jeans! Thanks for the inspiration!

  15. I love this outfit! You look fabulous as always. I bought the white jeans from Loft, and absolutely love them. I also found a great white tee shirt at Loft. It looks like the one you’re wearing from Gap. It’s nice to find one where you don’t have to wear a cami. I have the nude flats, and a sweater in another color to complete your look.
    Thank you for your inspiration!

  16. This outfit is one of my favorites! You look absolutely beautiful, as always. You should be in a magazine.

  17. Great outfit, Cyndi! The elements are so simple yet very striking together! Also, that long sweater makes you look TALL (I’m 5’2″) You’re adorable as usual! Sending Love! Marie

  18. I love my white jeans from the loft i have two pair a straight and sailor pair. Cant wait for it to warm up enough so i can wear them.love this outfit !
    Ciao

  19. beautiful as ever! love ALL the outfits you put together. i have some that i can t always get due to me being petite and small feet. LOL!!
    i try to almost match the colors and make it outfit. or use what i have..

    my main question is your nails and toes??? what do you use?

  20. Cyndi, I received an email this morning. I can’t tell you how excited I was in seeing your name in my inbox. I know that is strange but I do love my morning start reading about your tips and the outfit you are wearing.

    Since I first saw your post I have started to think about what I put on. My daughter wants to thank you personally. She always is telling me “mom, get with the style”. Now when we shop she will pull out a top and I would say oh if you put a pair of boyfriend jeans with that. She just smiles and shakes her head. I love it! So thank you for taking my head out of the sand and for letting me know I can dress in style. I am 52 and still act and feel younger. I don’t have the perfect body but still think for my age I am in shape and can pull of the up to date style. ha!

  21. Love the entire outfit, classy but pulled together and comfortable. I too have been looking for a white t-shirt so I will check out the Gap. That blue color is so pretty on you!

  22. Wowser Cyndi, love it, I’ve got a couple of pairs of white jeans, one straight cut and the other pair skinny, definitely will be stealing your style.
    Hope it’s a happy Wednesday, have a good trip to Dallas tomorrow.
    Blessings From Nicky in a wet, windy and very cold UK!!! Where is Spring???

  23. You are so adorable! Thank you for your tips. I am not 40 yet (I’m 37), but I am always searching for modest outfits that are pleasing to the Lord. I love your outfits. I love your blog!!! I am going to show my hair lady your haircut for myself 🙂

  24. Love the outfit and just bought the wedges from Target and I have to say you are right……. They are so comfortable and you can wear them all day with no problem. Thank you for all your advice and doing the shopping for me… Have a blessed day!

  25. Beautiful outfit Cyndi….I love everything about it. I’m excited to receive my wedges today…my “go to” kind of shoe all summer.

    Would you mind telling us what color toenail polish you are wearing. I like that it looks neutral but still shows in the photos.

    Have a great day<

  26. Love the look-you look fabulous. I would love to purchase a cute pair of wedges, but being 5’9″ tall a 4.25″ wedge is too high. I would love to see you wearing something between a flat and a 3-4″ heel. Thanks.

  27. I’ve had a pair of these Sam Edelman flats in black for several months and LOVE them! Super comfy. Found them in many color options on Zappos.

  28. Hi Cyndi,
    Another adorable outfit!!!! I LOVE WHITE ! and you did great with all white top and bottom with a bit of color for statement! I love the wedges and the heels… I will have to find some on line in the nude color. I love the low wedge sandals you had on in previous photos and I ordered them and wore them the other day!!
    God Bless… and thank the Lord for His grace when we at times, pick sin over Him…

  29. I’m a sucker for white jeans…they add such lightness to any outfit! It always amazes me when people say they can’t wear them because they are dirt magnets—I’m thinking, that’s just a great reason to get a new pair (and dye the old one)!
    That cardigan is a nice length on you!
    Happy Wednesday! jodie

  30. You’re so adorable. Your love for Jesus shines through. This is one of my favorite outfits of yours, ever. Being from South Georgia, I’ve worn white jeans for years and now in my latter years, I’m falling in love with blue, all over again.

  31. Such a pretty, flowy look. I enjoy your blog! I have a question…Do you ever wear no show socks with casual slip on shoes like Toms? If so, what kind? I’m having trouble finding a kind that won’t slip off the heel with my Toms, and I don’t want to get the unpleasant result of “sweaty feet” if you know what I mean! Thanks!

    1. Try J Crew. I purchased some ‘no show” socks from there and have been pleased with them. They have a no slip silicone band around the top that works well and is comfortable. I got mine at the J Crew outlet.

    2. I got some no show socks at Costco that I really like, my daughter got hers at Target. W have large feet so finding little socks that will stay on is a challenge, both socks we got have the silicon strip on the back which we think is the secret. I agree, don’t like “sweaty feet” and shoes are just so much more comfortable with socks.

  32. Love this look! It’s totally something I’d wear and feel comfortable and stylish. I’m always on the lookout for white tee’s that aren’t thin, may I ask what size you’re wearing?

  33. LOVE this outfit! I will be copying it with items I already have but never put together. I am also happy to see that the jeans come in a petite size from Nordstrom. Yeah! I’m going to try a pair. My white jeans in my closet are not as skinny as those you are showing. Thanks for a great Spring outfit that will be easy to pull together.

  34. I always love seeing your outfits. I was wondering how tall are you wedges? I have been trying to decide what is a great height to get.

  35. I love my white jeans!! They are great with everything. I wear my nude flats a lot too! Might have to check out the Sam Edelman’s next year when they wear out. 🙂

  36. LOVE THIS! I bought a white v-neck tee over the weekend – now I’m excited to wear with my white jeans 🙂 – I’ll have to figure out the sweater part but really like this look!

  37. I just started wearing white jeans or pants. I never was comfortable wearing them until I saw you wearing them. I am much more comfortable with the outfits you have put together. Thank you.

  38. Love everything, both pairs of shoes are great. Shopping tomorrow and will have to look for something similar. Thanks for the inspiration and tips. Blessings.
