Happy Wednesday, y'all! Is it just me, or is the week already moving at lightening fast speeds?  Who's ready for the weekend already? ME!

As Spring is arriving quickly (or at least I'm telling myself it is), I have been working to repurpose items from my closet in hopes of saving more of my money for great looks I know I will want to invest in for Spring and Summer.  If I do invest in a piece I feel I cannot live without for the Spring season I want to make sure it is one I can style easily now and in the months to come.  There is nothing worse than buying something now to have it sit in your closet watching you pass it day in and day out without use.  

Over the next few weeks I will showing you some great pieces you can invest in now, but are versatile enough to style for months to come.  Today we are going to focus on how to style your crop top now and well into Spring.  I recently purchased this crop top from Banana Republic (now, less than $30 on sale!) to wear with a great all black midi skirt I purchased at the same time.  I knew this black and white pattern was a classic one and I love the slightly longer length.  

Nonetheless, I did not want it to fall victim to death in my closet as I wait it out for warmer weather (as so many other pieces have in my closet over the years).  Instead, I wanted to justify my purchase by wearing it now and well into Spring.  To do so, I styled the look for the office with slightly less fitting wool pants (by the way, these have an elastic waistband are LITERALLY the most comfortable pants I have ever purchased!  They also come in a fantastic red color!  Now, one thing to note, I bought them in my true size, but wished I would have gone down one size as they did stretch a bit after a short afternoon of wear as you might be able to see in the pictures above.  Just a suggestion.), a white button down top and a pop of red in the heels.  

Later next week I will show you a great way to style this fabulous romper for Nordstrom which so many of us adored! Stay tuned!
