Given that the spring collections debuted nearly six months ago, it shouldn’t be a huge surprise that I’ve had my wardrobe for the long-awaited return to warmth planned out for quite some time now. It takes time to perfect. Since fashion is famous for working way ahead, I’ve had plenty of time to ruminate on and save up for all the covetable items I’ve spotted in the lead-up to spring’s return.
Taking inspiration from the runways—think satin heels à la Prada and Altuzarra—vintage mood boards heavily featuring the likes of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, Gisele Bündchen, Carla Bruni, and stylists who got their hands on the spring collections first, I’ve managed to build a perfect “no item missed” list for the season ahead. This way, if your spring fashion interests line up in any way with mine, you can simply and efficiently check off each item as you make it yours right along with me. I suggest starting with the first one. (Bonus: It’s already on sale!)
