A Spring Grab Bag: Neutrals, Scarves & Save the Date

March has arrived, and with it the promise of longer days and that unmistakable feeling that things are stirring — in the garden, in my closet, in my to-do list. I’ve been slowly making my way through a backlog of projects (aren’t we all?), and in between I’ve been tucking away little discoveries that felt too good not to share. Consider this a bit of a grab bag — some things that caught my eye, sparked an idea, or simply made me smile. Pull up a chair.

A Spring Outfit in Warm Neutrals

This cute cotton crochet top was the inspiration and starting point for a neutral spring outfit…

I love the elegance and simplicity of neutral and tonal looks. Here I’ve mixed textures to keep it interesting. (That 100% cotton striped top is also available in a cool pinky red stripe, which looks good for you Winters.) If the weather is still cool, add a lightweight blazer or jacket. Once it warms up, swap out the closed shoes for sandals.

Silk Scarves That Are Actually Easy to Wear

Silk scarves are one of this spring’s big accessory trends. Some of you have mentioned that you like the idea of silk scarves, but find standard carrés too large and unwieldy. So I’ve been keeping my eyes open for smaller options.

These silk bandanas are smaller (usually around 20″ x 20″) and easy to wear around the neck, as a head scarf, or tied to the handle of your bag. Most of these above are available in multiple colorways. (I have that middle one, and it goes with everything!)

If you prefer cotton to silk, these organic cotton bandanas from Madewell are a favorite. I also really like these fun “souvenir” bandanas from Alex Mill!

Here’s a one of my favorite ways to wear these smaller scarves:
