Hey guys! So we are finally getting some warmer temps here in NC so I’ve been able to break out some spring pieces. I love how I say finally getting warm. I know, it’s only just April but I cannot tolerate the cold as we all know haha. Anyway! So today I’m sharing some spring trends with you guys courtesy of Trunk Club which is a company through Nordstrom. As you may remember I received their athleisure trunk earlier this year and absolutely loved it so I was really excited to partner with them again and try out their spring trends trunk!
I worked with the same stylist as last time, Heidi. She went ahead and pulled different spring pieces for me from Trunk Club’s Spring Stripes Trunk, since that is a trend this season. Featured Trunks are a great way to get a conversation stated with your stylist. They cover various themes from spring stripes to lightweight layers to spring trends. Heidi and I worked together to have her curate a Spring Stripes Trunk just for me. So last time when I did the athleisure trunk, I didn’t swap out any of the pieces originally selected. This time however, I ended up exchanging a few pieces selected for my initial trunk. One of the pieces selected was a military jacket which I loved, but I owned something very similar so I had it swapped out for something else. There was also a pair of red sandals in my trunk which were really cute but I tend to gravitate more towards neutrals. In this case, I decided to switch them out for the same sandal but in black. This is one of the great things about Trunk Club. You have a stylist that can pull all these different pieces together but you can also give your input before you receive your trunk. You never have to receive anything that you don’t love or think you wouldn’t utilize as much as you’d like. And even after receiving your trunk, you can send back any pieces that you aren’t 100% in love with. It really is a win-win because you get a personal stylist to give you ideas and pull different looks for you, but you also have the opportunity to give any feedback and share about your style. (Also, all outfit details can be found in the caption of the photos and I will link everything directly at the end of the post)!
So, stripes. Let’s start with those pieces as this is a big trend this spring! I loved this shirt that Heidi picked as it was very light-weight, comfortable and flattering. Like, I could go out for pizza and wine and not worry about feeling uncomfortable 😉 And let’s be real, I love a good off the shoulder top (but this one is extra nice since it has mini straps)! I paired it with the jeans they sent along with white sneakers but it would also be super cute with a pair of white jeans and wedges if you wanted to dress it up more. Also, these jeans were SO comfortable. They were soft and had some stretch to them–probably one of the most comfortable pairs I’ve ever worn.
Another striped look they sent me was this cropped tee from Madewell. I LOVE cropped t-shirts. I don’t know why but give me a cropped tee with a good pair of high waisted pants or shorts and I’m in my element. I paired this tee with another Madewell item–their high waisted white jeans. I have a couple pairs of white jeans because they are really versatile going into spring and summer but I loved the cut of this pair. I was a little hesitant at first because I always opt for a skinny leg/jean but this boot cut was so cute! It just added something different. Also I will say that with both pairs of jeans I was a little nervous about the sizing. I mean, if I ever order pants online I always order like 3 sizes because I never know how they will fit! I told Heidi my typical sizes (I’m usually a 27-29) and she sent one size of both jeans. At first I was like okay, I don’t really think they are going to fit perfectly–but I was SO wrong! Both jeans fit like a glove! I guess that is what a stylist is for huh? 😉 I ended up wearing a 27 in both pairs.
I also paired this outfit with the black sandals they sent which are a great neutral sandal for everyday. I then added the white crossbody faux leather bag–circle bags for spring are another trend that I love! In my trunk I also received these sunglasses from Ray Ban. I’ve thought about purchasing these sunglasses in that past because I’ve seen them on a lot on other girls and have always loved them but didn’t know how they would look on me. I have to say though that I ended up really loving them. They are a great pair of sunglasses that are iconic but don’t make too much of a statement–basically they are a great addition to any outfit.
Okay, now let’s talk about this denim jacket! This was one of my favorite pieces because denim jackets are just so versatile–everyone should own one! I have a regular one but I couldn’t resist this pearl studded one. It’s such a fun take on an original demin jacket. I also really love that it’s oversized. I mean, who doesn’t love oversized tops?!
One other top I received in the trunk was this graphic tee! If you know me, you know I am ALL about the graphic tee. They can be so easily paired with anything and it’s such a simple way to add some character to an otherwise simple outfit. Plus, I am all for casual style on a day to day basis.
So two of the final items I received in my trunk were so fun! Since we’re now in spring, that means summer is coming up aka swimsuit season! Last year I got super into one pieces, and Trunk Club sent me one that I ended up loving! Again, I was kind of worried about the sizing because I tend to wear smalls in clothes but when it comes to swimsuits it’s tricky. I usually wear a large in tops and a small in bottoms, so one pieces that fit correctly can be hard to find. Oh and I’m 5’9” so that’s another thing to add to the list to make it difficult haha. But again, Heidi sent the perfect size in this one piece. I am wearing a size large and and it fit great. I loved this one piece because it was super flattering and has kind of a fun retro feel to it! Also, this bandana was so cute with it! I wore this bandana with an all-white outfit later in the week as well–so very versatile.
Alright guys, that sums up my spring stripes trunk! Did you guys have any pieces that were your favorite? Or any spring trend that you’re personally excited about? Do we like stripes–yay or nay?! Also, will link Trunk Club’s site here for anyone interested in trying their service. I would highly recommend as there really is no downside! You can keep the pieces you like, return the ones that you don’t. But I mean, who wouldn’t want to work with a stylist and get a personalized wardrobe?! It’s seriously so fun! xx C

Love your oversized jean jacket! Your blog has been on fire lately keep it up lady!! ??
Love your style!!
I’m so happy I follow you on Instagram and am subscribed to your blog…. because this girl has no fashion sense whatsoever! Hahaha
I have the same problem with one pieces! I’m 5’8 and usually wear a large or XL top in bikinis and small in bottoms so I feel your pain. You’re rocking this one! Also, love the “on the bright side” tee. I feel like everyone could benefit from seeing that reminder 🙂
Love that bathing suit!!
I absolutely need to try out trunk club! I really think the options Heidi picked out for you were perfect! Have you ever tried stitch fix? If so, do you prefer trunk club or stitch fix more!? I’ve tried stitch fix in the past and it was oookay, but I’m curious about your opinion between the two!
hey! so I have never tried stitch fix! I think I had someone else say that they had tried it before and then ended up switching to trunk club because they preferred it but I cannot comment personally! but I do love trunk club obvi! sorry I cant be more help!
I’m convinced you look good in anything! I love your style and I think Heidi should be your stylist and you should be mine! 🙂
My sister and I were just talking about Trunk Club! I always used to use Stitch Fix, but my sister recommended Trunk Club because of the more personal relationship to the stylist. Now that you are recommending it too, I might have to make the switch ?

I love that onepieces & oversized jean jackets are back in style!
I love Love Love stripes! Found a white t shirt dress with red stripes and it’ll be a staple for me! I also love graphic tees/ tanks. I’m Nervous to try a one piece because I’m 5’11 But I’m going to try one now!
Trunk club seems like a fun and reasonable way to have a taste into your own personal stylist! Definitely want to try it out. My favs are the two striped tops and the bathing suit 🙂
Stripes are always my go to! I have no idea why lol but I always find my self drawn to them. I’m glad they are such a hit this season! I think I’m going to have to make that swimsuit a regular in my summer rotation ?
You have easily become my all time favorite blogger. Love everything you post from fitness, work, travel, fashion.
Love these looks!! Do you prefer horizontal or vertical stripes?!
Do you have any other white jeans suggestions?! I cant seem to find a pair that i love that 1) arent see through ? 2) dont stick to me- im fine with a normal fit jean, but the stretchy denim in white just makes me feel extra large?!? Anyone else? 3) affordable!!!
That BP jeans stripped off the shoulder top is so cute!!!! I as well, am a big fan of anything shoulder exposed. It’s so flattering! Great blog Claire!
Love love love the jean jacket! Such a necessary stable in a girls closet !
Loving these stripes! That bathing suit is fire ?
Oops that question mark is supposed to be a fire emoji haha!
This is so on point! I’m all about the stripes for spring – just bought a navy and white striped dress and have a denim jacket that I can’t wait to pair it with!
Love love that swimsuit and red crop tee!!
I haven’t tried trunk club but you might have convinced me! Love so much of this! The graphic tee is probably my fave (I’m a sucker for them like you). The bathing suit is super cute too, and that jacket will go with everything!! Looks like I need to add some stripes to my wardrobe.
Striped off the shoulder top with those dark blue jeans is definitely my favorite look! I don’t think I could ever pull off stripes, unfortunately. I’m definitely a yoga pants & oversized hoodie type of gal but this summer I’ll need to find alternatives so I don’t melt in the sun, haha.
You make every out fit look like a million dollars omg !! I love How simple and cute some are, and the fact that we are the same height is a WIN because it makes me wanna buy the items even more !! I say This a all the time but you are legit my go to blogger / inspo ??
I am obsessed with Madewell, it is by far one of my favorite places to shop!!???
Love this so much. Thank you for always being yourself!!
For some reason off the shoulder shirts just do not work for me— any tips!?
I love Madewell! So glad I finally discovered it. Thanks for sharing all your brands as usual!! Love your blogs Claire 🙂
