April Showers Bring May Flowers

Disclosure: Thank you to Nordstrom Rack and Collective Voice for sponsoring today’s post. All products were chosen, worn, and loved by yours truly.

The whole “April showers bring May flowers” rhyme is living up to the first part of its promise in a strong way here in Indiana these days. Rain, snow, sleet, hail, if there is something to fall from the sky, it is dropping our way. However, as we know [or at least we cross all of our fingers and toes for] that the showers bring flowers. Do you know what else April showers bring? Even more showers. But this time I’m talking about the good kind. The showers that include gifts, delicious treats, preferably a punch [spiked, please], and maybe a fun game or two.

Yes, we’re talking about bridal and baby showers. Spring seems to be a hot time for these types of gatherings to take place and while what you’re taking [gift] is the most important topic, the second most important is what you’re wearing. Fortunately, I can help you with one of those today 😉

All of the outfits you’ll see today hail from Nordstrom Rack, aka the home of thousands and thousands of adorable pieces at even better prices. In fact, they have over 600 items in their “spring occasion” category that will leave you wanting to open your mailbox to a new invitation daily. Well, friends, you can RSVP yes because you’ve got the outfit[s] to wear…

First up – the trouser look. Wide-leg pants are making a BIG statement right now in fashion and they are the perfect way to dress up without having to put on a dress. Check out all of the options here!

Cutout Boat Neck Tank Top • Halogen [true to size, wearing in small] // Belted Wide Leg Linen Blend Pants • Calvin Klein [true to size, wearing in 4] // Patria Sandal • BCBGeneration [true to size]

Next up, staying on the pants train, if there’s one spring pant you can always rely on [just stay away from that punch I mentioned earlier ;)] it’s the white pant. Pair it with a top that’s poppin’ and you’re set!

Sleeveless Notch Neck Top • Ellen Tracy [true to size, wearing in small] // Mid Rise Ankle Skinny Jeans • Rachel Roy [size up one, wearing in 4] // Lereda Sandal • BCBGeneration [true to size]

Let’s get a little dressy, shall we?! I’ve rounded up not one, not two, but three dresses that have April showers [the good kind] written all over them. From long to short, you can’t go wrong in these shades of blues + yellows.

Elana Flutter Sleeve Eyelet Maxi Dress • Betsey Johnson [true to size, wearing in small] // Marc Fisher Heels [true to size]

Camille Floral Print Chiffon Dress • Tommy Hilfiger [true to size, wearing in 4] // Marc Fisher Heels [true to size]

V-Neck Sleeveless Midi Dress • Maggy London [true to size, wearing in 4] // Patria Sandal • BCBGeneration [true to size]

So you want a little pink in your life? Me too. This skirt + cutout back top duo is a feminine way to shower the day away!

Cutout Boat Neck Tank Top • Halogen [true to size, wearing in small] // NORDSTROM RACK Chiffon Bias Midi Skirt [true to size, wearing in small] // Patria Sandal • BCBGeneration [true to size]

Now that you have the outfit figured out, all you have to do is get a gift [don’t worry, Nordstrom Rack has you covered here as well!] Bring on the invites, we’re ready!
