shop talk<\/em><\/u> is a biweekly column dedicated to exploring the latest styles and trends hitting the internet. We’ll be bringing you styles we love through new arrivals, trends that are gaining momentum, and pieces you’ll want to see before they sell out.<\/em><\/p>\n Spring is in full swing, and my spirits are sky high. I can’t say enough how good it feels to retire my heavy layers. My outfits stand on their own again, without heavy coats that block the spotlight and weigh me down. In the past, I’ve used this season as an excuse to focus on any number of trends, but this spring, I’m doing things differently. I’m taking a more measured approach and focusing on pieces that feel elevated, versatile, and worth wearing again and again.<\/p>\n
