Spring Fresh Lookbook: 3 Trends to Try This Season

Yesterday marked the first official day of spring!!! *throws confetti* You guys, I absolutely love this season. It just feels like new beginnings. I usually celebrate spring by switching up my wardrobe entirely. I'm talking new clothes and accessories, hair products, makeup, new fragrance and everything. I like to prepare by sifting through magazines, especially StyleWatch and Essence, to track the latest and cutest trends, basically to see what's poppin'. I put together a Lookbook to showcase three of my favorite trends for this spring: girly gingham, pleated slip dresses, and spring knits with sassy sleeves.

Enjoy!

Product Junkie: Onyx Box

I've always wanted to sign up for a monthly subscription box, but struggled forever to find the right one. Because I'm a natural, most people would always suggest a hair related box, but I wanted more than just hair products. Scrolling on Instagram one night, I happened to see the cutest picture on my explore page. It was a flatlay of a colorful and bright box, a picture of a brown beauty, a super cute hair comb, and what looked like a hair product. I clicked on it instantly and was led to @WeAreOnyx! I explored the page for a while in awe of all the colorful cuteness. I'd found the perfect subscription box! I signed up, and the rest is history.

Here's a quick review and look at what came in my very first Onyx Box!

Comfy, Chic Vibes: Overalls & Stans

Okay, so I have a funny story to tell about this little overall dress. I was shopping a few weeks ago in H & M, and came across this super cute overall dress, right? 'Twas love at first sight! I eagerly searched the rack for my size, and boom! I grab the size 2 (yes, I know I'm tiny) and head to the fitting room. I thought it looked adorable on, so I bought it. 

Days later, I went to H & M again, this time with my best friend, Whitney, who actually works there. Soooo we're circling the store, and she tells me "I have this cute dress on hold here, I have to show you!" Guess where she led me? Right over to the overall dress. I go, "Yesss, it's so cute! I bought it the other day." 

The look on her face was priceless. We buy the same stuff all the time, but we also wear the same size. Apparently there was only one size two ever available in-store. So yes, the very dress that Whit placed on hold was the same one I so proudly purchased. She was like, "Oh my goodness. I can't believe you bought my dress!" 

She seemed a little dispappointed, but got over it quick enough to laugh about. I was just as surprised! I felt so guilty, but also amused because it confirmed the validity of our friendship and our shared sense of style. Luckily for Whit, this dress is available online and will most likely be restocked soon in store. Keep on reading to see how I styled it below.
