wearing lately: spring classics

My favorite front yard tree had its spring awakening last week, and these white blooms always feel so lovely and fresh - which often inspires me to pull out some spring classics from my wardrobe that have the same vibe: here, a simple button-down with jeans and cognac shoes/bag, the perfect simple backdrop for my collection of minimalist accessories and a great outfit for feeling fresh and springy.

I've been doing the balancing act of trying to feel like myself in clothes but also find clothes that accommodate a 22-week belly - which also comes with the balancing act of trying to decide how much maternity-specific clothing to buy versus regular clothing that's perhaps sized up/roomy but could actually still be used after baby brother is born. 

The jeans are 100% maternity here, but the shirt is a good example of where I can still enjoy shopping from the new arrivals section from my favorite, Madewell... It's a style I'd be into either way, and the oversized fit means it works right now (plus the cute side buttons could actually be functional if I need to make more room!) and will still be a classic in my wardrlbe in the future (not to mention accommodates potential nursing needs well, which is also a consideration as I remember wishing that immediately post-partum I had more items with easy access, and also more items that were a bit flowy/forgiving). I like it so much I got the gingham version too!

Not bad for an easy yet classic outfit that could easily translate to regular wear, and that utilizes some of my long-standing spring faves in the shoes + bag.
