Dressing Room Diaries - Hi Sugarplum!

Happy Friday, friends, and cheers to the weekend! What plans do you have? We’re taking it easy tonight before another busy volleyball weekend! I’m also hoping to tackle my hot-mess of a closet… I wish it was to change it over for Spring, but I think it’s still too soon for that.

Thank you so much for your love and excitement for our GLxHSP Coastal Collection!! I can’t wait to launch it next Thursday, February 23… see more details HERE.

Today I’ve got an all new Dressing Room Diaries for you, and it’s chock full of the cutest new arrivals! It’s a range of price points from a mix of retailers, and even some of my favorite small shops I know you’ll love! My job is to find the cutest things, at the best prices, and I think you’ll love these! (I know I did!!)

But warning: These styles will have you craving Spring!!

Fit Note: I’m 5’4″-ish, 125 pounds-ish, with a slight pear shape. My usual size is XS/2.

SPRING TOPS //

I don’t know what I love more about this top… the bold watercolor print, the puffed sleeves, or the super-soft gauzy material! It has a cute ruffle trim along the neck, and an A-line shape that’s perfect for wearing tucked or out.

Let’s chat white denim for a second… I tried no fewer than 10 pairs for this post, and these are the ones I reached for more than any other. They are soft with a touch of stretch, but thick enough to not show through, with a comfy high-rise and straight leg. They did give a little as the day went on, but I prefer my white denim more on the loose than tight side!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS top and 26 jeans. The slides are comfy and true to size.

One of my go-to brands for fun tops in Spring and Summer, this tee is all kinds of fun! Soft, cotton body, with a crisp poplin sleeve in a fun, colorful print.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small, but would prefer an XS. The denim is TTS, I’m wearing a 26.

Block prints are everywhere this season, and I love the unexpected mix of olive and blue in this cute top! Made of a flowy cotton, it has a loose fit and ruffle details at the shoulder.

This was another white jean I liked, with a mid-rise and cute flared crop. I do think I’d prefer a size up though!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS, but it’s a little fitted through the shoulders, so size up one if in-between. I’m in a 26 in the jeans, but would prefer a size up.

How fun is this Gucci-inspired top?! Made of a crisp cotton, it buttons down the front and has puffed sleeves. It’s a little on the short side, but definitely not cropped.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS.

Floral Split Neck Blouse (code CASSIE15)
Step Hem Jeans (Also HERE) (Size 26) | Leather Sandals | Cross Link Necklace | Bead Stacked Bracelet | Gold Layered Bracelet (Both BOGO Free + $10 0ff!)

Oh hey sass-a-frass! This bodysuit is all kinds of date night fun, with a soft, stretchy body and crisp cotton puffed sleeves. The neckline is extra-plunging, so you’ll need something like these nippies or this bra for support.

These wide leg jeans are so comfy and flattering, and perfect for a dressier style.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small bodysuit. The jeans run big and long, I’m in a 25R and have to wear them with heels.

Scoop Bodysuit
Wide Leg Jeans | Strappy Sandals (size up half) | Cross Link Necklace | Bead Stacked Bracelet | Gold Layered Bracelet (Both BOGO Free + $10 0ff!)

I shared this darling top in my recent This & That post HERE, but it’s so cute it had to have a place in Dressing Room Diaries, too! Made of a crisp cotton blend, it has a ruffle neck and smocked sleeves… and the print and colors are Spring perfection!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.

The same top also comes in solid colors… and you’ll want them all! Perfect for dressing up jeans or pairing with skirts and pants (I’ll show you that a little further in the post!), it’s a flirty and feminine closet staple you’ll reach for on repeat.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS.

This easy top is made of a woven material that drapes beautifully. It has a cap sleeve and longer length that covers the bum. Pair it with your jeans, or tuck it in to trousers, it’s a great Work to Weekend top.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS.

Pretty sure I audibly gasped when I pulled this top on… it is so. stinking. cute! Made of a thick eyelet cotton, it has the cutest ruffle trip and cropped, A-line shape. I’d love it paired with bold palazzo pants, too!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small top, 26 jeans and shorts. (The shorts are pricey, but truly the best cut-offs I’ve ever tried! I’ve had mine for years!)

TEES & SHIRTS //

The color, the ruffle shoulder, the super-soft cotton… not to mention the crazy-good price… this tee is a hom run, for sure!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small, but my usual XS would work too.

This top is made of the softest jersey knit, with a pleat detail on the shoulder to give it a little extra style. It’s sporty and feminine, and easily dresses up or down.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS.

Green is everywhere this season, and I’m crazy for these preppy stripes! This shirt is a soft, stretchy cotton, with crisp poplin collar (perfect for popping!). The pleated details on the shoulder keep it feminine.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS shirt and size Small jacket.

Rugby Henley Top (40% off!)
Jean Jacket (Color: Jeanie) | Straight Leg Button Fly Jeans (Size 26) | Leather Sandals | Bead Stacked Bracelet | Gold Layered Bracelet (Both BOGO Free + $10 0ff!)

No one does preppy plaids like J.Crew, and this lightweight shirt has the cutest combo of mint green and blues.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS, but size up if you prefer a relaxed fit.

Plaid Button Down
Left: Straight Leg Button Fly Jeans (Size 26) | Miller Sandals // Right: Vintage Straight Leg Jeans | Rothy’s Sneakers

SPRING SWEATERS //

A top find this month, I’m crazy for this soft pullover!! The weight is perfect for Spring, and the colors and stripes are just fun… not to mention, that perfectly popped collar!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.

Striped Wide Collar Pullover (code SUGARPLUM10)
Left: Straight Leg Button Fly Jeans (Size 26) | Braided Slides in ‘Apricot’ (TTS)
Right: Vintage Straight Leg Jeans | Rothy’s Sneakers

Who doesn’t love pink stripes?! This lightweight, waffle sweater is a great weight for transitioning, and is so cute with denim and skirts (I’ll show you that in a second!).

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS.

Cable Knit Dot Sweater (40% off!)
Left: Step Hem Jeans (Also HERE) (Size 26) | Rothy’s Sneakers

If this sweater knit looks familiar, that’s because I have it in two other colors! It’s a super-soft, fleecy knit with ruffle collar and smocked sleeves. It’s as comfy as it is cute!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS.

Elbow Sleeve Sweater (code SUGARPLUM10)
Straight Leg Button Fly Jeans (Size 26) | Leather Sandals | Bead Stacked Bracelet | Gold Layered Bracelet (Both BOGO Free + $10 0ff!) | Tote Bag (code CASSIE15)

PANTS, SKIRTS & SHORTS //

Every closet needs a good wide leg pant, and these are a great weight for Spring and Summer. Super high-rise, they give you legs for days, with slim side pockets, and darts on the back for a smooth finish. Perfect for work or date night, they easily transition!

The swirly print blouse is a beautiful shade of mossy green, with sheer sleeves and lined body. It has a ruffled neckline and ties (I tuck those in). The blazer needs no explanation… you’ve seen this fave on-repeat!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS pant, but they are very high rise, so if you don’t have a waistline, you’ll want to size up. The blouse, blazer and tee are all size XS.

Another wide leg pant option… these are all kinds of fun! Super wide leg with a pleated front, they are very flowy, but don’t overwhelm your frame thanks to the fitted waist.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small pant and size XS tops.

Wider Leg Pants
Left: Floral Top (code SUGARPLUM10) | Similar Pumps
Right: V-Neck Trimmed Tee (code SUGARPLUM10) | Braided Slides in ‘Apricot’ (TTS)

You know I love a pull-on maxi skirt for Spring and Summer, and this print is so fun! The skirt is silky soft, with faux-buttons down the front and a knee-high slit. Pair it with everything from tees and tanks to shirts and sweaters.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS skirt, shirt, and sweater.

Floral Midi Skirt (40% off!)
Ruffle V-Neck Blouse (code CASSIE15) | Cable Knit Dot Sweater (40% off!) | Braided Slides in ‘Apricot’ (TTS) | Cross Link Necklace

More of that cute block print… this time in shades of blue. The material is lightweight and flowy, and it’s cute worn as a matching set or separates. The top is darling with white denim, as well.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS in all pieces, but the skirt and top run big, so I’d size down if in-between.

Midi Printed Skirt
Left: Cotton Blouse | Braided Slides in ‘Apricot’ (TTS) | Cross Link Necklace
Right: Ribbed Tank | Straw Hat | White Sandals (code CASSIE15)

Too soon for shorts?! Not when you find the cutest pair in orange and pink! I love the drapey fit and elastic waist… dress them up a bit with a spring sweater, or keep them summer-ready with tanks and tees. So cute with a jean jacket, too!

And this flutter sleeve tee? Grab it quick… the quality and price can not be beat, and it’s a great upgrade to your basic white tee.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS short, but would prefer more room in the leg and bum, so would size up. The ruffle sweater is an XS and very fitted through the arms.

DRESSES //

A great dress for work, girls night, and church, this woven shirtdress has an elastic waist, tie belt, and buttons at the top. The tiered skirt is the perfect flirty length. Wear it with sandals, heels, and booties, it’s super-versatile for all seasons.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS dress and size Small jacket.

SPECIAL OCCASION //

Wedding season is around the corner and y’all must have packed calendars, because requests for special occasion dresses are coming in hot!! And lucky for us I found some gorgeous options!

The fit-and-flare silhouette is always my go-to, it’s just so flattering and comfortable, and always feels appropriate. These two have a sassy deep neckline, and the prettiest flowy skirts. One with a sheer overlay, and the other with floral appliqués. Both come in a range of gorgeous colors, too.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small, but either need to add a nubra to fill out the top, or size down.

Chiffon Midi Dress | Lace Midi Dress
Similar Pumps | Cross Link Necklace

A similar style, but this one with a wider strap and thicker, crepe material. It’s a classic, flattering, and uber-chic little black dress that will never go out of style!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small. This brand runs a little small, so size up if in-between.

Crepe Midi Dress
Similar Pumps | Cross Link Necklace

Talk about sass!! This dress certainly calls for a special event, but I’m crazy for it!! The tiers, the color, the neckline… I love it all! The price is incredible for such a statement dress, too!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small, but would need some alterations on the straps for more bust support.

Tiered Cut-Out Maxi Dress
Cross Link Necklace | Medium Hoop Earrings

Channeling my inner Princess Kate with this one (doesn’t it remind you of her style?)! Shades of navy and blue, it’s made of a sturdy lace and lined to the knee. I love the shape of the sleeves with a longer skirt for a flattering, elongating look. And bonus… it’s bra-friendly!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small.

Floral Lace Midi Dress
Similar Pumps | Cross Link Necklace | Medium Hoop Earrings

ACTIVEWEAR //

And finally, y’all went crazy for this oversized, long hoodie in last week’s Amazon Haul (see that HERE), so I found us a crewneck option! It’s crazy soft and so comfy, and easily covers the bum!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small sweatshirt and size XS leggings. Sneakers are TTS.

You’ll never guess where I found this cuter-than-cute color block jacket!! It’s as soft and comfy as it is cute.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS.

Colorblocked Jacket
Step Hem Jeans (Also HERE) (Size 26) | Rothy’s Sneakers | Gold Tube Earrings | Bead Stacked Bracelet | Gold Layered Bracelet (Both BOGO Free + $10 0ff!)

I wore this bra from our favorite comfy brand with just about every outfit, and the fun artwork behind me is HERE. Notice my new phone case? It’s so cute and I found it HERE. Oh, and my tan is courtesy of this stuff HERE.

So many fun finds this month, right? I honestly love everything I shared (I only share the good stuff!), but if I had to narrow it down, these would be my Top 5:

Puff Sleeve Blouse (code CASSIE15)
Straight Leg Button Fly Jeans
Striped Wide Collar Pullover (code SUGARPLUM10)
Crepe Midi Dress
Eyelet Ruffle Top (code SUGARPLUM10)

Love all your outfits, particularly the “Princess Kate” dress. I wanted to tell you I’ve been loving your hair in the low bun with the headbands. It suits you and makes you look so young! Do a hair tutorial on this style. I need to copy it. Anything to look younger! LOL

  Oh thank you, Rhonda! I think the secret to this low bun style is that my hair is so filthy, it just stays in whatever arrangement I put it in! Ha! Seriously, no real tutorial… it’s dirt and hair spray. xo, C
