Spring is in full bloom and I couldn’t be more excited. The days are getting longer and their full of sunshine and warm weather. You can’t help but have a smile on your face in the springtime. For me the beginning of seasons is always my favorite–I love getting to transition from sweaters and coats to tees and light layers. And while everyone else was chilling at Coachella I was hanging out at home and all was right with the world. I’ve never been to Coachella but for me it sounds like an absolute nightmare–I hate crowds and I hate how Coachella fills my Instagram feed with so many obnoxious pictures. If you’re into, cool for you. I’m just not.
While I might not be a music festival kind of guy, I do like getting new clothes (unrelated, but it gives you a little insight as to what I’m all about haha). This time of year I always pick up a few new pieces that I know will get worn a ton and carry me through the season. That’s why I’m loving these new shoes. They are 1) so incredibly comfortable it’s almost illegal (if comfort were a legal issue) and; 2) they have all the athletic inspired style one could ask for. I love that they’ve got the sole (and soul) of a sneaker but the classic qualities of an oxford. And the color is perfect for spring. Almost as perfect as this Bougainvillea is as a backdrop (I mean, what?!).
And if stripes had a season it would definitely be spring–they start to pop up everywhere (I’m wearing them now as I sit here and write this). Style note: If you find yourself doing a ton of stripes as I tend to do, try finding pieces that mix it up a bit. This Forever21 mesh baseball shirt is a great twist on a classic pattern.
