When springtime arrives, I get this magical feeling. The sun starts FINALLY feeling warmer, melting away my anger for enduring three months of winter. I start to whip out the pale blues, the baby pinks, in celebration of ex-hibernation. I’m shedding my winter coat.

Now, this isn’t a spring’y outfit. But to be honest, we shot it in much colder conditions and I was reeeallyyyy hoping we could go with the, “let’s roll up our sleeves in anticipation for Spring” vibe.

Ya feel?

This time of year is a great time to take stock in what I have in my closet, what I can get rid of, and what I need to invest in. And friends, don’t think you need to spend a ton of cash investing in pieces you love for the new season - two of my favorite spots for picking up pieces from my favorite designers are Outnet and Thredup! And the pants I’m wearing in this post? I paid $35 for them at Intermix. INTERMIX. You just have to be patient and persistent.

A few things I’m hoping to add to my closet this spring? A great pair of sandals, a slip dress (I just bought this one!), a cropped trouser for spring, a perfect denim skirt (bought this one from Lynn Louisa!) and more silver jewelry. This bracelet from Be. Bangles has been on my wrist constantly, reminding me that I need to find a few more bracelets just like it! And these Sophie Blake earrings have me craving another pair!

As for clothes I’m getting rid of, it’s quite the process. I need to go through my closet again (such an arduous task) and get rid of the things that I don’t need. SPEAKING OF WHICH, I just started to sell my clothing on Poshmark! (Username: @JULIENGARMAN) Just a few things you’ll find: this Tibi dress, this Rebecca Minkoff bag, and so much more. If you haven’t tried Poshmark before, it’s an app that makes selling (and buying) gently used clothing super easy. And you can get $10 off your first purchase using code: HGMGC
