There comes a time every year that I start to give my winter sweaters, the cold shoulder. We get a little taste of spring and I start buying spring clothes like it’s going out of style.
Banana Republic recently had their friends and family sale and I picked up this cold shoulder top, along with a few other items. When I first tried on the top, I was like, meh. I considered sending it back, but the more I tried it on with other clothes in my closet, and did totally normal things, like take pictures of myself in it, in front of the mirror, the more I liked it. So, the little light blue cold shoulder top, joined my closet.
Another successful purchase, I’m really excited about, are these Marc Fisher wedges. I mentioned in my last, oh, hey girl, post that I ordered this pair and had to return them because they just didn’t look right on me. Then, I ordered this Jeffrey Campbell pair, which are even more gorgeous in person, but sadly, they were too big for these 4.5, sometimes a 5, size feet. I also tried the Steve Madden dupes at DSW, which were also too big. The struggle. So, I decided to give another style of March Fisher wedges a try. Since this style came up to the ankle, as opposed to the thick band across the toes, I hoped they would be a better fit, and they were! This style isn’t as wide as the style I previously purchased, which made for a better, more flattering fit, on me. They are also, so so comfortable and make me tall! Wearing them I can almost smooch my 6’2″ husband, no tippy toes involved.
Since it’s not quite consistent Spring temps yet (hello cold this week), I’ve been layering my new spring additions under cardigans and sometimes, very reluctantly, still pulling out those winter sweaters. Hurry up Spring, I’m ready to say, girl bye to my winter wardrobe.
What about you? Are you dying to wear your warm weather clothes? Did you shop the Banana Republic Friends & Family Sale?

Ok, so when I saw this on you on Instagram, I was like “I gotta try this top! So cute!” So let’s just say it’s sitting in my cart, taunting me π Just trying to figure out if I can get more wear out of it and wear it to work…the exposed shoulders seem well, exposed, but it’s not like I work in a super dressy environment. Hmmm…

That top is so adorable! And the wedges are amazing! I love this entire look. And I am so ready for Spring, too. But alas, we are still experiencing single temperatures at least for the next 10 days according to my weather app. I thing Spring is a long way off for me!

Now that is a cold shoulder top I think I might actually be able to wear. I love it! Love your new shoes too!
I’m so glad you kept this top! Hahaaaa it takes me awhile to decide if I want to keep something, too. I’m glad you tried this style of the marc Fisher shoes. They’re only the most comfortable wedges, ever! And the height perk doesn’t hurt π
Thank you so much for adding your pretty bell sleeved top outfit to On Mondays We Link-Up! Your support means the world.

I have the other version of those wedges from last year and they are my favorite! Glad you found a pair that fit. I had no idea your foot was so small. I bet that is hard. Love the top on you!

I’d love to wear warmer clothes, but we just got 10 inches of snow! Those sandals are super cute! I definitely need a pair!
Ahh!! It’s not snowing here now, but it’s def cold today, high of 30!! So I’m not wearing any of this today either, haha!
Thanks Rachael! I’m so glad they fit, I felt like they were my last hope, lol.
Thanks Amy! It is so hard to find shoes and makes me sad sometimes because I can’t always wear a style I like. I was so glad these wedges worked, they are the best!
I have a habit of keeping things and never wearing them, so lately I’ve tried to be a little more judicious with my choices, lol. I’m glad I kept this top too!! I’m loving living on the ‘tall’ side, haha!
Thank Amy!! I like that is has more of a thicker strap, so it’s not super revealing!
Thanks Shauna!
Thank you Mary!!
Aw thank you Marta!! I’m glad I jumped on the trend bus with these wedges, they’re the best!
Bummer!! It’s not that cold here, but still cold today. I’m not wearing any of this at all this week! Boooo cold, go away!!
Thanks so much Jodie!!
Thanks Sarah!!
Thanks Jill! So glad I finally found a pair!!
One good thing about the top is the straps are thicker, so you might be able to get away with wearing it at work!! I found you on my subscriber list and resent the email from Sunday to you! So sorry it didn’t make it to you. Let me know if you still don’t see it, so I can figure out what’s going on. π Thanks for letting me know and thanks so much for subscribing!
Thank you Jaymie!
I went back and forth before I ordered that first pair, but I’m glad that I finally pulled the trigger and found the style that worked on me!! They’re worth it! I can’t wait until it warms up enough to break them out again.
Thanks so much! π
Thanks so much!!
Thanks Lauren!! That little tie is my favorite part!
You would love them, they are seriously comfortable!! Nice height, without pain!
Thank you Carrie!! π
Thank you so much Megan!
It is! Thank you so much Mica! π
I got that email- thank you! Maybe I signed up at a weird time in between emails…hopefully I’m all set. Thanks for checking!

OMG I just purchased a top just like this last week. I love showing off my toned shoulders, I used to have super cut arms but my body fat percentage was scary low and Iβm not sure I will ever get back there, that wonβt stop me from trying. My shoulders and Traps still look pretty impressive and that makes me crazy happy. I am totally ready for the Spring Brooke, and it looks like you are too.
Thank you Vaishali! The color got me. π
Thank you so much Kristin!
Thank you!! Those little bows totally got me!
Thank you!
Thank so much ladies!!
You’re lucky!!! I’m all about tops that you can wear a normal bra with!
Thank you Toby! I will!
They are so cute!!!! I really wanted that pair too, but these darn small feet didn’t fit!
Thank you Victoria!
Thank you katherine!
Thank you Chloe! π
So true, Ruth! Thank you! π
Thank you!!
Thank you Sarah!
Yay!! Spring clothes shopping is the best!
Thank you Maria!
Thanks so much!
Thank you emily!
Oh man!!! I will say, there are some things I appreciate about the cold, like big cozy sweaters!
It’s such a struggle!! I feel for her!
Thank you!!
So ready!! Thank you Emma!
Thank you!
Did you find any good ones? Target has the best stuff!
Thank you!
Girl, that’s awesome! I’ve always loved the look of strong shoulders, def great for showing off in a cold shoulder top! You’ll get back to where you want to be, you’re focused!
Thank you Kate!
