Alright, ladies, it’s that time of year. Out with the old. And in with the new... clothes of course. Winter is finally over and it’s time to update your closet. Looking at it as a whole can be a little intimidating, but I’m here to help you shop like a pro. I’m gonna show you how to shop Grrly Grrls like a pro and give you an insider’s favorite must-have pieces that are timeless trendy and total must-haves. So sit back, relax and dive into this article to bring your fashion game to the next level and update your looks with some of this year’s hottest looks.

My absolute go-to for every look is a shoulder bag. A little shoulder bag can literally make your entire look. Sweat pants crop top, mini bag bam you have a popping look. I mean they honestly make every outfit look more put together. My favorites right now are statement bags but everyone needs a good classic go-to. For classics, I like simple sleek lines and good basic colors. Tory Burch makes a stunning sleek chain shoulder bag that is perfect for just that. It adds a level of class and timelessness. I love the cow or zebra painted shoulder bag for more of a statement bag. It adds some fun elements and is perfect for a more fashion-forward look.

I am all about basics and staple pieces. These not only build the foundation of your wardrobe but are also perfect for capsule wardrobes. My biggest thing lately has been good top options that you can wear for everything. A little crop top is delicious for summer and ideal for layering in colder weather. A basic crop will seemingly never go out of style and is great for all your favorite looks. My personal go-to’s are baby tees and cropped tanks. I am currently obsessed with milkmaid tops, and we have a to-die-for cow print milkmaid top! For more of a little y2k tee, moment try out an adorable basic cropped white tee.

Last but certainly not least my absolute favorite everyday go-to outfits are mini dresses. Mini dresses are perfect for an outfit on the fly. It’s simple to pick out one thing instead of a top and bottom, with that you have never-ending options that if your anything like me makes getting ready take forever. Mini dresses are also great for layering and are perfect for year-long wear. If the weather is getting chilly all you have to do is throw on a pair of tights. Some of my favorite looks are slip dresses. These keep coming in and out of style so I think it’s safe to say they’re pretty timeless. Try out this daisy patterned slip dress it’s so cute for summer. And finally, be sure to grab a basic summer mini dress. It’s perfect for any occasion.
