BUY THIS (Because I'm Surprising Myself): Spring Sales.

You may have noticed that the spring sales are starting to creep in. I have been checking out Madewell and J.Crew because they're relentless with the cute spring offerings. First up, Madewell who's offering up to 30% off with code HOWFUN. (Sadly, denim is not included in this sale because of course it's not.) I've been a little surprised by the items that have caught my eye, like this:

This is the cutest raincoat EVER and it comes in three colors but somehow I like this vintage petal color the best. It's so interesting! Not quite pink, not quite taupe, something in-between. 

And this bag! They are finally making a larger size in the Transport Camera Bag and I love it. This is definitely pink, but a very modern neutral-pink and I dig the new webbing strap design. This bag also comes in black but isn't currently on sale. (Give it a minute.)  

Ooh, I dig this chunkier version of the paperclip necklace which solves the problem of the annoying "clasp swinging around to the front" thing that drives me crazy. This has a carabiner clasp that will convert it to a lariat style!  

Oooh, this is much more in my wheelhouse. I love that it's cotton and looks casual and easy to wear, but it also has fun sleeves, which makes it a little bit fancy. I really like this top! 

Now, J.Crew who's having a very specific sale on very specific items: up to 40% off spring essentials (prices as marked) and an extra 15% off with code EXTRA. I started with stripes:

This is a vintage cotton tee and it comes in a bunch of different kinds of stripes but for some reason this is the one I liked best. I mean, more pink? Sure. But the sleeves keep it interesting? Humor me. It's cute.

I have this Juliette cardigan in charcoal but ooooh, I do like this dreamy dove grey for spring. It's such an easy way to dress up your t-shirt and joggers lewk. Heh. 

OH MY GOD I KNOW. Seriously, what is wrong with me that I super love these pants? (Related story: in 4th grade this girl Rachel in my class had hot pink pants and I was creepy-obsessed.) I guess I still want hot pink pants? I'd wear these with a striped boatneck tee and...

Ahhhhhhhh! I love these so so so much. I mean, they are everything I want in a clog and those gold studs, ARE YOU KIDDING ME. I might seriously need these, y'all. Sprang is sprung.
