Banana Republic heels (similar here and here)
If you’ve been reading In Spades for a while, you know I’m not much of a dress girl. I prefer good denim, killer shoes and a statement jacket. Anything that toes the line of masculinity, excessive volume and structure is number one in my style book. But as my due date draws nearer and nearer, pants (denim especially) don’t work.
Thus, I’ve become a dress girl.
When I saw this Alice & Olivia dress I immediately fell in love with the print. The exotic birds and florals set against a black backdrop is the perfect spring touch without being too girlie. It’s not normally a silhouette I would wear (when have you seen me in bodycon?) but at this stage in my life, it’s so flattering and comfortable. Major score.
For spring I’ve been all about white accessories, and these $14 sunglasses are a steal. Can’t you just picture them poolside in Palm Springs? Definitely adding that excursion to my summer bucket list!
If you’re looking for great quality jewelry at an affordable price, I highly recommend Banana Republic. They do amazing collaborations with higher end designers like Elizabeth Cole (pictured here) and Giles & Brother, and always have a sale going. Their collection is extensive so you don’t have to worry about sporting the exact same earrings as 10 other girls when attending an event.
My earrings are just about sold out, but the matching necklace is still available and would look amazing with a simple white tee and jeans. Currently an investment piece, hold out for a sale – I guarantee Banana will have one soon!
