I’m really excited about today’s post because I teamed up with one of my favorite San Diego boutiques to style a spring lookbook. La Femme Chic is a designer consignment boutique in the Cedros design district of Solana Beach that carries an amazing selection of clothing, handbags, shoes and accessories. If you’ve never visited their store, you must go. From Chanel, Hermes, Lanvin and Chloe, it’s a treasure trove of designer pieces at a fraction of the cost.

Spring time is all about spending time outside, whether it be dining al fresco, outdoor parties or wedding season, so I put together six looks for just about every occasion.

If you want to shop these looks (or their other amazing merchandise) La Femme Chic is offering 15% off to my readers. Use code INSPADES16 online or print this coupon to shop in store.

For ladylike sophistication at it’s finest, you can’t get any better than Hermes. The intricate gold fasteners of this wrap skirt left me breathless. Paired with gold accessories, this is the perfect office look.

I love the versatility of this wrap dress as it can be worn over a dozen different ways. You can dress it up for evening or pair it with flat sandals for a day strolling the boardwalk.

  Futuristic and quirky, this look reminds me of something out of The Fifth Element.  The statement sunglasses are a great representation of the range of styles and genres you’ll find at Le Femme Chic.

  This dress had me at hello. The velvet straps are buttery soft and the way the fringe drapes is so feminine and sexy. It’s the perfect date night look.

I’m always looking for an excuse to dress like a modern day Audrey and this look hit it out of the park. The pleated button-up and tuxedo pants are true classics that never go out of style. I love the little Chanel train case and two-toned heels paired with this to die for Nina Ricci jacket. Although velvet isn’t normally synonymous to spring, it’s voluminous sleeves and vibrant cobalt color are a great compliment to a classic ensemble.

One of the great benefits of curating a closet you truly love is the ability to mix and match pieces into new creations. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had the “I have nothing to wear” feeling only to realize the answer to my problem was actually sitting right in front of me. I’ve spoken about remixing items on the blog before, and wanted to share how I took this skirt, top and shoes and paired them in a new way for spring.

I love the playful, almost nautical feel this new pairing gives off.  The obi belt on the skirt compliments the movement of the bell sleeved top, while the shoes round it out with the perfect pop of color.  I wore this outfit to a networking happy hour and not only was it comfortable and fun, but it earned bonus points for being a conversation starter.

How can you remix your old favorites in a new way?

I love a good oversized turtleneck so when I saw this bleached denim number from Ashley Rowe I was smitten. While turtlenecks are normally fall/winter territory, this is the perfect transitional piece for May grey and June gloom. Lightweight with a touch of distressing and frayed edges, it fits into my wardrobe with ease.

Never one to give up an opportunity to rock a Canadian tuxedo, I paired it with my other denim obsession and some menswear inspired broques.  If you’re not feeling the androgynous look, try a pair of cigarette pants in a pop color, stiletto sandals and a topknot for girl’s night out or date night.

What do you think of the oversized look?  How would you style this turtleneck?
