Monthly Musings: April

April 30, 2020 by Rechelle 10 Comments

Linking up with Holly & Patty for April Monthly Musings!
monthlymusingsgraphic (1)

What are your five must have items for Spring & Summer?

Sunblock, 3/4 sleeve tops, jean jacket, sandals, sunglasses

What is your favorite Spring & Summer footwear?

sandals or flip flops

How do you transition your wardrobe from Winter to Spring, then to Summer?

I pull out brighter colors for Spring, more floral prints, and then top my shirts with a cardigan or jean jacket when needed. For summer I just drop the jacket!

Favorite colors to wear this season?

Pinks & mint!

Do you like Lily Pulitzer? Favorite prints?

I do like Lily Pulitzer! The only Lily I actually own though is in my sorority print 🙂

White jeans…? Wait until Easter? Memorial Day? Anytime of year?

White jeans are a go for me anytime! I probably wouldn’t wear them with a ton of snow on the ground but I don’t think there is a date or holiday that should say when you can or can not wear them.

What are your must wear items during stay at home orders?

I’ve still been getting dressed as normal and enjoy putting on a pair of my Nickel & Suede earrings most days, makes each outfit feel a little bit more put together & complete!

Which do you prefer, maxi dress or romper?

Maxi dress, I don’t own a romper and actually maybe only one or two maxi dresses…

Flips flops or wedge espadrille?

Flips flops! I would like to say wedge espadrille but the reality is that just isn’t me lol

Random bonus: how many loaves of banana bread have you made this month? Do you have a favorite recipe?

No banana bread here yet 😉 Though I did make our favorite banana muffins! A little healthier with no sugar & made with oats, super easy & blend up in the blender quickly!

    I don’t own a romper either and I’m too short for a lot of maxi dresses! My answers for these will be up tomorrow.

    I enjoyed your answers to these questions… and thanks for the reminder to wear earrings – I’m afraid my holes will close up. I’m in sweats when I’m home during the #stayhome but will change to jeans when going out on errands etc. I love a 3/4 shirt during weather transition time.
