Spring Style

Affordable Spring Gear from Backcountry

March 25, 2020

Happy Wednesday friends! Half way through the week! Kev and I are staying busy with our home to do’s and trying to stick to our schedules, lol! Always easier said than done. Like I mentioned Monday, I started that new group fitness challenge to keep me motivated and Kev and I are opening windows and getting outside when we can!

Monday afternoon we took a walk down to the parkway. We only saw a couple of people (from a far distance of course!). But it was good to get out and enjoy some of the sun + fresh air! It’s so important for our overall health to get out and get moving. Even if it’s just for a few minutes a day, and you’re just walking around your neighborhood!

It was only 39º, but the sun made it feel so much warmer! I only ended up needing a sweatshirt, light rain jacket and sneakers. All of which are on sale! I recently picked up this new rain jacket from Backcountry in this gorgeous light green-blue color. It actually comes in cream, but I had to get this green, I just love it! I know, very out of character for my neutral loving self. Comes in lots of other colors too! Perfect weight for spring & obviously works well in transition weather. My two long winter puffer jackets are this same brand, and I’ve had one since 2009! They last SO long and are still so affordable. My rain jacket is only $59 right now!

I also wore this super cute Patagonia graphic sweatshirt layered over a basic layering tee & leggings. My white sneakers are on sale and make the perfect accessory for any casual spring outfit! Also, my Ray-Ban sunglasses are on sale!!

You can get 20% off one full-price item at Backcountry.com right now with code 20FULLPRICE!! For any additional full price items use code LOMEYER15 for 15% off (exclusions apply)!! They’re also having a ton of other sales site wide! As you guys know, Backcountry is my fave for outdoor gear! This is the perfect time to grab those seasonal staples + new spring gear majorly discounted. They have every brand we love like Sorel, Patagonia & The North Face + more like Free people & Ray-Ban. Also their customer service is phenomenal! I recently had to use it when a package of mine was stolen, and they were so kind and prompt in handling the situation.

**thank you to Backcountry for sponsoring today’s post! As always, all items were picked out by me and all opinions are my own**

March Instagram Round Up Week 4 + Weekend Sales

March 29, 2019

Affordable Spring Outfits! Style Blogger Lauren Meyer of The Lo Meyer Blog shares Spring Outfits in an Instagram Roundup + Weekend Sales

Finally Friday!

Hope you all had a great week! This week was super productive for me! Which was awesome and SO needed after traveling on and off earlier this month. I’m headed out to Dallas next week for a blogger conference so am busy working ahead in prep for that! The amount of outfit planning and shopping I’ve done for the conference is actually insane. What does one wear to a conference with 200 other style bloggers that’s on brand, unique and still affordable? lol! All I know is I’ve shopped a ton of the new spring arrivals from all of our faves – Shopbop, Express, AE, Loft and a new fave, Revolve! If you’re looking for event wear, highly recommend checking out Revolve!

Anyway, on to this week’s outfits! It was another week full of Spring Transition looks! Spring seems to be in full swing here in Minnie. And, not to jinx us or anything, it looks like it’s here to stay (*knocks on wood*). So I’m retiring my winter coat for the season and bringing out allllll of the spring outfits!

As always, sharing this week’s top sellers, outfit links + sizes and weekend sales below!

This week’s top sellers:

These booties from Target were the top seller of the week! I am SO impressed by these! Open-toed booties tend to rub on my toes, but I wore these all last Saturday with NO issues! Make sure to size down .5 – they run large! I wear mine with inserts!
For the second week in a row, these sandals from Target were a top seller! This was essentially the week of shoes – 3/5 top sellers were shoes. What can I say? We love our shoes around here! Glad we’re all on the same page, haha! These fit TTS.
This long line cardigan also from Target was the third bestseller this week. This cardigan is exactly like this one I have from Nordstrom for a third of the price! The quality is amazing, and I actually think it’s softer than my Nordstrom one! Perfect weight for Spring and wearing indoors/at night during the Summer. Fits TTS & works for petites!
You have no idea how happy it makes me to see my sticky bra on this list of bestsellers. LOL! This thing is AMAZING! I had a follower DM me saying she’s had this same one for 4 years, and it still works! If you hate strapless bras like me, you need this in your life!
These Tory Burch dupes by Sam Edelman were a huge hit on Instagram stories and made the list at #5! They’re no longer on sale but they come in under $50 so still very affordable. These are the best dupes for the $198 Millers I’ve ever seen!

Outfits:

All of this week’s outfits are below with links and sizing details under the photos! Everything fits TTS unless noted otherwise.

Affordable Spring Outfit with Walmart

March 28, 2019

Happy Thursday friends!

I’m very excited to be partnering again with Walmart to share an affordable spring outfit with you today! This one is full of staples that can be worn so many ways throughout the year! And, everything total is under $55!!

I’m not sure if you gals have checked out your local Walmart lately but if you haven’t, you’ve been missing out! They have some seriously good fashion finds that are reasonably priced and great quality! I absolutely love their Time and Tru line and the new Sophia Jeans by Sofia Vergara! And, they have some seriously cute sandals for spring and summer!

Recently, Walmart launched their “We Dress America” campaign to empower people of any background, in any location to express themselves through fashion they can feel good about, and that doesn’t break the bank. As budget friendly and self-love enthusiasts, I think we all can hop on board with that, right?!

Tee (M – sized up but fits TTS) | Denim (TTS; ankle length – petite friendly) – here in Black, Green, Denim Wash | Shoes (size up .5) | Bag

For today’s post, I went with a look that is both achievable and very affordable. And, of course, a look that is very causal chic! This outfit would be perfect for running errands, lunch with the girls or a day out shopping!

I paired this $7 tee (the one I mentioned yesterday) with a pair of white skinnies to create a monochromatic, spring-ready look! Now, I know what some of you are thinking, “Lauren, there’s no way I can wear white on white without spilling something on it.” First, you’re wrong! If I can do it, you can! It’s really all in the art of covering yourself in napkins, lol!

But second, this monochromatic look can be recreated with all black and still be just as chic! I’ve included links for a similar outfit in different colors above!

I accessorized with these $14 flats that SO many of you have picked up after I shared them on stories the other day. They’re incredibly comfortable and also come in black! They’re perfect for everyday wear and easily transition from the office to the weekend.

I also picked up this $9 tote while at Walmart! It’s the perfect size bag to run errands with! It can easily hold my laptop without being overly bulky. I have the “sand” color, but it comes in a ton of others as well!

All together, you have the perfect spring outfit. If it’s still chilly in your area, you could throw on a jacket like this one and then ditch the jacket in the later Spring months!

And just a word about stocking at Walmart! Be sure to change the zip code to your home & select your size to see if an item is in stock! A lot of times I find my zip code needs to be updated and that changes if an item is in stock or not!

xoxo

50+ Affordable Spring Tops

March 27, 2019

Happy Wednesday peeps!

I have gotten a TON of requests for a roundup of Spring tops and blouses so I’m sharing over 50 with you today!

A few may look familiar from recent try-on’s! And, a few are on their way in the mail because I have no self control, and this spring weather has got me *needing* all of the Spring tops! Did you hear it’s gonna be in the 60’s here today?! BELIEVE IT. Spring is here!

I’ve included a good mix of staple and fun, trendy items below. All are under $100 and most are under $50. The few that are over are definitely staple pieces or more for special occasions!

If you’re looking for staples, I strongly recommend heading to Loft, Shopbop or Nordstrom! All three retailers have great staples at affordable prices (pro-tip: use the filter button to sort items by price so you avoid the super expensive items!). I love Madewell, Free People and BB Dakota for fun Spring pieces I can wear into Summer. This classic Madewell tee was a follower fave last summer and you’ll see it a lot this summer too! I also found the best dupe for it at Walmart!

50+ Pieces to Create the Best Spring Break Outfits

February 27, 2019

SO excited to be sharing the items I picked up for our trip to Punta Cana with you all today! I’ve gotten quite a few messages requesting a round up of all the items I’m bringing. Sounds like a ton of you are planning trips of your own! Most items below are under $50-75, and the few that are over are definitely staple pieces, like my Miller sandals.

Disclaimer because there are over 50 items below (lol). I already owned some of these items, and I purchased more than I plan to take for a few reasons. One, I’m betting that some won’t fit when I do my Spring Break try on tomorrow and will have to be returned. Two, I head to Austin, TX a week after I get back so plan to bring some of what’s below on that trip too! Given the trips are so close, I had to shop for both at the same time.

I did also pick up a new set of luggage from Calpak that’s currently on sale! I plan to do a full blog post on how I pack my carry on, which will include more info. But since the brand is part of the Shopbop sale, I’m giving you guys a quick heads up now!
