Frills, flowers, flamboyance--welcome to my springy state of mind! I'm cultivating it with pretty, romantic tops in my closet like the Love Shack Fancy, above, and aiming for more fun and flair with this similar-looking By Timo, this Alice & Olivia, and this Scotch and Soda. H&M is also boosting my sunny mood with its latest drop of flowy and bright caftans, below. Check them all out here!

In case there's any confusion, you definitely, without a doubt, no-questions-asked need a new pinstriped shirt. It has to be a little oversized (but not too much, as if you borrowed it from a guy) and the stripes should be subtle (not bold--so last year!). Most importantly, it must possess inherent unbuttoned-down-to-there sexiness! Sounds like a tall order, but don't worry, I got you! Check out these just-right options from Citizens of Humanity, Victoria Beckham, Alex Mill, River Island, Mango, and Reliquia (below). P.S. I think I NEED the vintage New Balance sneakers, above, too!

LA-based artist Jazy Goh has spring's billowy blouse nailed! Proof here! I love the Shona Joy balloon-sleeve, above, the Ministry of Style, below, and how it's unbuttoned down to there! Plus: the yellow embroidered Seven Wonders, second snap down, this truly perfect white button down from Free People, this sexy Staud, and this pretty ruffled Doen.

The only thing better than a really well-cut, super-flattering tank top is a tank top that can be worn forward and backward for two distinctly different looks. Pixie Market's reversible top is rendered in a ribbed knit, so it's suitable for fall. And the navy shade makes it chicer than chic. Yes, please!
Back to school, back to Zoom! My new style syllabus concentrates heavily on tops, specifically utility shirts, see above, statement collar blouses (Mango, below), and knit vests (Acne Studios, last pic). I've done some preliminary research and already found excellent electives: these patch-pocket shirts from Alex Mill (similar to above), And Other Stories, and Tibi; these collared blouses by Sea and H&M; and these oversized knit vests from Uniqlo, Isabel Marant Etoile and H&M.
