With spring right around the corner and all the stores sending out their spring fashion sales left and right, it's pretty much all you can shop for these days! Every season, I like to compile a little list for myself of pieces I believe I "need" to add to my wardrobe. Here is my spring clothing shopping list!
1. Dresses
Honestly, dresses are on every season's shopping list for me because I am obsessed with them. They are about 50% of my closet. I usually try to buy 1 work type dress and 1 casual type dress.

Mink Pink Market Sharing Dress

2. Colored pants
A fun pair of colored pants to add to your spring wardrobe in my opinion is absolutely a necessity. What's more spring than a nice pair of bright yellow or pink pants?!

Broken-in Straight Khakis
Gap
Color: Neon peach
ON SALE: $21.99

3. Slacks
If you're a working girl like me, slacks are kind of crucial. However, I'm done wearing my nice wool and tweed bottoms and want more light weight slacks for the spring and summer months.
Purchased:
Sloan-Fit Slim Ankle Pant
Banana Republic
Color: Butternut wood
ON SALE: $29.99

4. Blouses
Also for the working girl in me. I love button ups. Whether they are oxfords, tanks, short sleeves, etc. For me, button up blouses always make an outfit look put together, and I honestly believe you can never have too many.

Sleeveless Buttoned Blouse

5. Skirts
Warmer weather means showing a little bit of leg finally! Skirts are one thing I don't seem to have a huge variety of in my closet. Like I said earlier, I'm obsessed with dresses so that's probably why. However, I am trying to broaden my horizons, so I've been trying to add skirts to my shopping lists.
Eye on:
Sloan Pencil Skirt
Banana Republic
Color: Emerald
$79.50
*I've been really impressed with BR lately, and I'm in love with the Sloan Collection so sorry about all the BR products. Just can't help myself!

6. Blazer
Sorry a lot of this is geared towards office wear for me now that I have to dress business casual almost every day. However, a blazer can be dressed up or dressed down, making them a great piece to add to your closet. They're perfect for April weather I think, when it's all rainy and still a bit chilly out.

7. Heels
Of course I "need" to add to my ever growing shoe collection. I can never have enough heels. End of story. No if, ands, or buts. They are important for work, dates, get togethers, dinner parties, special outings, you name it.

8. Flats
Now that the snow will hopefully be melting soon, and we can all stop sporting our boots, it's time for cute flats to make their appearance again! Flats are my comfy alternative to heels, so you can never have enough of these puppies either if you ask me.
Eye on:
Women's Xhilaration Shae Ballet Flat

*PS - I buy all my shoes at Target...

9. Yoga pants
If you read my 5 Ways to De-Stress post you'll know these are crucial for me to buy. I have vowed to start doing more yoga lately, and I really have been! However, I need more yoga pants to actually do yoga in. I have 2 really old pairs and 1 pair of leggings. So, wouldn't you agree I should spring for a new pair? I think so, too.

10. Running shorts
Now that we can all start running outside again it's time for some cute new running shorts, or "Norts" as a lot of people call them. Well whatever you call them, buying new workout gear can sometimes be a motivator to actually go workout, too. At least, that's what I tell myself when I'm buying them...

11. Bras
It's quite necessary to replace your bras every so often. Your every day ones go bad or if you still feel like those are doing alright, buying yourself a fun bra once in awhile can be nice too!
