Two Spring Looks Easily Elevated

Guys, have you checked out Vineyard Vines lately? Their Spring collection is out of this world adorable AND they keep adding more extended-sizes, which makes me so happy. VV has some of my favorite, and in my opinion some of the very best, preppy plus size pieces. They are crafted with quality and have proper proportions that really work with curvy body types. Right now, they have a fantastic assortment of items that are work from home friendly, while remaining polished and fun for Spring. The best part about these styles (size-inclusivity and cuteness aside), is that they are easily elevated with accessories to go from casual to chic in just one step. Perfect for our new normal of life at home! ALSO, in honor of National Nurses Week, their entire site is 50% off for nurses, doctors, medical professionals, and first responders through May 12th!

1. SANKATY BOATNECK + STRAW HAT (c/o)

I cannot say enough good things about the Sankaty Boatneck (xxs-3x), how darling is this caned print?! The material looks super polished, but it feels like and has the comfort of, a really nice t-shirt. I sized up one for a looser fit, but I find that VV extended sizes generally run true to size. It is the perfect top for working from home, you instantly feel special in it, but at the end of the day, you’re still in a washable tee! I paired it with white jeans for a Spring to Summer vibe, comfy for in and out of the house.

This already cute and easy look gets COMPLETELY transformed with the addition of this Wide Brim Straw Boater Hat. I mean, I can totally see myself in this outfit everyday, either at home for a picnic in my backyard, or in the neighborhood on a nice walk. The hat makes this outfit feel complete, and perfect for strolls, cocktails outside, or date night on the patio. The interior band is also sturdy, so it doesn’t just fly off your head, either, it is really comfortable!

 

2. LOFTY CASHMERE V-NECK + RAFFIA EARRINGS (c/o)

I am a big fan of Vineyard Vines’ cashmere, the quality is fantastic for the price point, and it is incredibly soft. This Lofty Cashmere Sweater runs true to size and hangs so nicely. I love v-necks that are loose in the body, without having too much extra fabric. Perfect for curves and this nails that ratio. This is the ideal quarantine sweater, light enough for entering warmer months, but still cozy as can be. I love that it still has a tailored feel, so it easily translates from cozy to chic.

When it comes time to elevate the look, I just added these Bamboo Lattice Raffia Earrings and I am ready for virtual cocktails with the girls or date night at home. I can see myself wearing this cute look with sandals all Summer long, especially by the water! I have been having a love affair with hot pink lately, and the trim is such a subtle but fun pop of color.

Thank you Vineyard Vines for partnering on this post. As always, all opinions are that of my own.
