March 2023 | Kylee's Korner

I can’t believe that March is coming to an end tomorrow. I’m definitely looking forward to enjoying some warmer weather with my kiddos and planning some fun things we can do outside together to break up our days at home. However, along with the warmer weather comes April showers. I’ve never minded rain on a day where I don’t have anywhere I need to be. But, when you don’t have the option to stay inside all day, it can be a pain to plan an outfit that you will look cute in while staying dry! Not to mention trying to keep your hair looking good among rain drops can be an impossible task! I have started looking at Spring gear that can help me stay dry while looking fashionable. Check out some of my favorite finds so far this year!

Tall Hunter Rain Boots

Hunter rain boots are always in style. They can get a bit pricey, but you can also snag good deals if you wait for sales or keep an eye out at Nordstrom Rack. They come in so many different colors that it can be hard to choose just one. I tend to lean towards a more neutral color that I know will look good with any outfit I throw on for the day!

Short Rain Boots

Short rain boots can make your outfit look super cute, while keeping your tootsies dry. I love these from Target. They are super affordable and come in every neutral color option you would need.

Printed Umbrella

I am in love with this floral printed umbrella from Anthropologie. It comes in three different color options and will add a pretty touch to your outfit. It is also more affordable than other brands!

Water Resistant Hooded Rain Jacket

This is the perfect basic rain jacket to wear during Spring from Nordstrom. It comes with a hood, a zipped up front and is water resistant. Nordstrom also offers free shipping and it is under $65!

Clear Trench Coat

I think clear trench coats are so cute to wear and add a fun look to your outfit of the day. I love this one from Nordstrom Rack that has added a neon yellow zipper to make it pop!

Handbag Raincoat

As if I needed another reason to love the container store- check out this raincoat…. for your handbag! I hate when I am dressing up for the night and I have to be mindful of which purse I am going to use because of the weather. This raincoat for your handbag will help protect your cherished accessory during your rainy night out!

Don’t be confused- basics don’t make you basic. Simple basics are the foundation for building a versatile and functional wardrobe. Even though basics are plain, simple and no frills, they can make any outfit stand out. I think it’s always a great investment to keep your eye out for quality basic staples, because they are one thing that won’t go out of style or need to be purged from your closet down the road. They can be worn throughout the day for a casual woman on the go look and dressed up during the evening to make you ready for a night out. I don’t think you need to wear flashy colors to stand out either. To me, a bright white shirt or a cute LBD are attention grabbing all on their own. There are a lot of affordable options when shopping for basics; I have included some of my favorites below in case you need some new inspiration. I promise adding these items to your closet will give you so many extra choices when getting ready and take the pressure off of trying to figure out what you are going to wear every day. As they say, less is always more!

Solid Color Tee

I love throwing on a solid color tee with jeans for a casual on the go look. It is also easy to dress them up for a night out with a blazer, cardigan and statement jewelry.

Eyelet Sleeve Top

Pocket V Neck

Little Black Dress

I think the saying every gal should own a LBD is true! A simple black dress can come in hand in a pinch for so many different situations-date night out, a wedding, church, work and the list goes on! Pair it with pumps, sneakers or flip flops to finish off whatever vibe you are going for.

Lace Ruffle Swing Dress

Tie Waist Shirt Dress

Pumps

I love heels for a special occasion. Pumps are always in style and have so many different options when searching for your perfect pair. I have also noticed that wedge pumps are making a comeback this year, which are a lot more comfortable for an all day wear!

Coach Beadchain Pumps

Round Toe Wedge Pumps

Black Pants

How can you go wrong with a pair of black jeans, leggings or slacks? Black pants can be paired with pretty much any color top, including black! Grab yourself a few different styles that can be dressed up or down in several different ways.

Distressed Skinny Jeans

Levi Signature Skinny Jean

Cardigan

Cardigans are a must have staple for my closet. They are the perfect item to grab when the seasons are in transition mode and you want to make sure you will be warm enough throughout the day and evening.

Open Front Long Line Cardigan

Wide Placket Cardigan

Hoop Earrings

Hoop earrings will never go out of style, IMO. They come in so many different sizes, styles and colors; and can easily dress up the simplest of outfits.

Kendra Scott Small Hoops

3 Large Pair Hoops

Tote Bag

I think every Mom should invest in a big tote bag for herself- I’d be lost without mine! Tote bags can carry all of the things you need when running around and still make you look cute while doing it. I always lean towards a pretty camel or tan color since they look good with anything you wear!

Ralph Lauren Keaton Tote

Sole Society Faux Leather Tote

Jean Jacket

Jean jackets are something else that never seem to go out of style. Every year, I see a ton of new designs come out- a variety of colors, fades, distressing, lengths and more. They are great to pair with leggings while running errands or with a summer dress to keep warm at night.
