Easy Spring Transition Outfit

Currently in Florida the weather is still a little hit or miss.  We have had a few “cold” days and some days that already feel like Summer is here.  I picked up this outfit from BB Dakota because I thought the sweater would be super versatile with any bottom and the skirt could be dressed up or down easily.  The sweater is currently on sale.  I have ordered no lie 10 pairs of Golden Goose sneakers over the years and none of them ever fit me.  I am a true size 9 and with European/Italian sizing the 39 were always a little too tight and the 40’s were too big.  They don’t come in half sizing.  I finally found the Hi Star version and the 39’s fit perfectly.  I also was never really down with all the distressing so the pair I snagged is a true white and I love them.  They also are very flattering on the leg since there is a platform/lift to them.  You know I’m honest about if something is worth the splurge.  I think there are tons of other great alternatives like Veja Sneakers but I do think I will get good wear out of these.  They did not require any breaking in and I like the clean look of this particular pair.  They elevate a mom running errands outfit in my mind and can also be worn around Disney for the entire day.

 

Both pieces are from BB Dakota.  This is not a sponsored post, I just really do like the line.  I tend to buy since everything is very on trend and the price points (especially on sale) are good.  In skirts I definitely size up because I have hips and sometimes I feel like the bottoms are Junior sizing.  Keep scrolling for a little guest appearance.  Trying to sneak in some pics with a toddler is always fun :-)

I wanted to give a random shot out here.  My favorite Metallic Birkenstock sandals are back in stock and they sell out super quick.  Grab them while you can here.

 

 

Tell me something that you have splurged on lately that you felt was worth it.  Also, this shooting location gave me major Gossip Girl vibes (to which my husband promptly rolled his eyes at).  I have watched that season in entirety multiple times (that and Gilmore Girls). What has been a series that you have watched many times?

    Love this outfit! There is a dress from BB Dakota that I saw last week that I can’t stop thinking about. I want to snatch it up. I never really understood the super distressed/worn Golden Goose hype, the ones you chose are much more my speed.

    I love BB Dakota!!! They have been one of my favorite brands for the past six years. Their stuff is good quality and it fits well. Beautiful outfit. I am also glad that you found a Golden Goose sneaker that worked. One of the girls who I work with has the Superstar and she said that they were not comfortable at first. Now she says that they are much better. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!! XO

    Well, this is one seriously cute outfit from head to toe! I’ll admit, I rarely wear skirts unless they have attached shorts beneath or they’re midis because I just get so concerned I’ll accidentally show my booty to the world haha! But I love this pleated one so much on you.
