Cheers to Friday, friends! What’s on the agenda for y’all? I’ll be confined to my closet most of the weekend creating outfits around the Gibson x Hi Sugarplum Collection pieces…the big photo shoot is less than two weeks away! We’re traveling to a Summer-locale for more location options, so stay tuned for all that fun!
Today’s final look in the Five Ways Transitioning to Spring series is one Iโve reached for year after year. It combines two of my favorites, stripes and tassels, and includes several of my wardrobe staples. The dress is so versatile I could style an entire Five Ways around it, but we’ll stick with a quick switch for todayโs inspiration.

Striped T-Shirt Dress (love this one, too) | Similar Utility Jacket | Tassel Necklace | Monogrammed Tote | Sneakers | Sunglasses
This jacket adds an effortless chic to virtually every outfit, and is the perfect light layer for this time of year. And these sneakers are a great transitional shoeโฆnot to mention, super comfy and stinking cute! I take them on every trip, and walk for hours with no problems.
Fit Tip: I size down half in the sneakers, and wear them with these no-show socks. See how I keep them so white in this post.


Striped T-Shirt Dress (love this one, too) | Similar Utility Jacket | Tassel Necklace | Hoop Earrings | Watch | Thumb Ring
A great tassel necklace can totally make an outfit, and the assortment of bright colors in this one makes the styling options unlimited! I love the texture of the wood beads of this one, but it’s still super lightweight.


When the weather warms up, just lose the jacket and swap the sneakers for a nude sandal, and you’re ready for Summer! (I declared my undying love for these shoes in yesterday’s post…did you see it?)

Oh, and how about this darling striped t-shirt dress?! It’s an absolute steal, and a piece I’ll grab all Summer for running around, or even tossing on over my swimsuit! Use code ‘SWEET’ and it’s only $12!ย This one is another great option, and I adore this one, as well.
Fit Tip: I sized up to a small for roomier fit and more length.ย

I love anything stripes and tassels are also a favorite ๐ These make me so ready for more spring like weather ๐
Stripes and tassels get my vote too. Thanks for the SWEET discount for the striped blue T-Shirt Dress! Hi Sugarplum blog is like the Candy Land board game–gumdrops colorful and deliciously sweet fun posts!
Cute outfits. Wondering about denim jackets as I need a new one. Any preference on one? Iโm debating between the Vince Camuto or the Kut from the Kloth Helena one
How many Barrington totes do you own? I love all of their totes but haven’t ordered one yet. They are lovely. Do they hold up well? Can’t decide on zipper or no zipper.
I am a huge fan of their bags…I’ve had some for over 5 years and they look the same as the day I got them! The leather and canvas is so strong and sturdy!! Fortunately since I work with them so frequently, I do have quite a few of the patterns! If I could only choose one though, it would be the Axis print. It goes with everything year-round! And I love the Savannah with the zipper
