Can we talk cute spring outfits? I'm sharing 10 pieces that are must owns for anyone with a pear shaped body!

Spring Outfits Must Own Pieces: These overalls are spring requirements for a pear shaped body!

Is anyone else a little overly excited to start thinking about spring outfits? As much as I love sweaters and cozy jackets……I'm ready for sunshine, dresses, and sandals.  When fall started, I share my Ultimate Guide to Fall Outfits for a Pear Shape Body……..I detailed ten staple pieces that I loved for the season and I wanted to do the same for Spring Outfits now.  These ten pieces are all items I own in my Spring Wardrobe, and highly recommend for Spring and summer wear in those warmer months.  They're flattering, and fit a pear shaped body like a dream (always important, right?).

One of the things I think about the most when transitioning to a new season? Cost per use and versatility.  A switch of weather and clothing need is a perfect time to assess what you HAVE and what you need.  For me? I try to focus on staple pieces that make for easy outfit formulas.  Items that I use over and over again that can easily mix and match into perfect combination options for the season.  There are always fun spring trends, and then I also use classic pieces that I've owned for years. For each of these staples, I'm including a couple of simple spring outfit ideas that can be created with them.  Hopefully this will help you prepare for fun and fashionable warmer days!

I'm including the sizes I wear in each for easy reference………..

Ultimate Guide to Spring Outfits For a Pear Shape Body

Overalls (size medium): Overalls are one of the hardest things to find for a pear shape or anyone over a size 4.  Trust, I tried on 17 pairs before I wrote my post about the Best Overalls for Women with Curves.  The ones I found? I LOVE.  These light denim ones from Madewell fit like a total dream….and I even found a STEAL version from Old Navy (they keep selling out, but if you can snag a pair they're a similar fit and under $50)!

Looking for casual spring outfits? These flat sandals are PERFECT!

Flat Sandals:  These Birkenstock sandals will get an embarassingly large amount of use this summer.  I've owned my black patent leather pair for 3 years and wear them ALL spring and summer long.  They're comfortable and never go out of style.  This last summer? I added a couple pairs of platform Birkenstock sandals into the mix and they were great for a slightly more elevated vibe.

Shop these Sandals for Warmer Days:

Great Fitting Shorts (size 12): Great fitting shorts are practically impossible to find for a pear shaped body, but these? FIT LIKE A DREAM.  In fact, I wrote about them a ton in my ultimate guide to shorts for a pear shaped body last summer……and I'm just as obsessed with them now as I was then (and bonus, they come in a ton of cute new prints).

Shop the Shorts:

Looking for fun spring dresses? This one is PERFECTION!

Pastel Dress (size M): A floral dress or great pastel sundress is a spring MUST own.  From Easter brunch to bridal and baby showers, you'll get a ton of use out of a great fitting dress.   And this year? Cottage core and fun sleeves and feminine elements are a huge trent.  I shared my favorite Nap dresses as a must have recently, and let me tell you….they're worth every penny!  They look great with a pair of mules and cardigan in cooler weather at the beginning of the season or slides and a straw hat when you get into warmer days (they even have some fun gingham prints for a fun picnic vibe).

Shop this Dress:

Spring Outfits Must Own Pieces: This t shirt dress fits like a dream and is under $60!

The BEST T Shirt Dress (size medium): Ok, I know.  I included this t-shirt dress in my fall outfits staples too.  I'm not even ashamed to admit I own it in FOUR colors.  It comes in a lovely faded grey, blue and olive and I bought all three for spring outfits.  It fits a pear shaped body like a dream and is under $60.  You can pair it with ankle boots and a denim jacket or tan leather jacket in the cooler months then switch to sandals for a casual look or heels for the end of the season.

Shop the Dress:

Looking for a great basic tee? This is IT!

Simple Tee (size medium): A great basic tee is a staple for any spring outfits or spring vacations.  And this one? Is my favorite (I own it in a number of colors) and it's super high quality.  Worth every penny.  It also comes in a great size range (this is a total year round outfit piece that can be worn with mom jeans or white denim with ease).

Shop the Tee:

Spring outfit ideas? A great pair of jeans is the perfect foundational piece!

 Jeans : I know, I know.  I've talked about some of these jeans a LOT.  My two top pairs? These wider leg jeans from Kut from the Kloth and my Wit and Wisdom stretch jeans (perfect if you're on the hunt for skinny jeans). Yes, I've been talking about these for YEARS.  But, they're amazing and they're NOT too pricey.  They stretch well, and are great with sneakers and tees as the weather warms up….a perfect fitting pair of jeans is the foundation for an easy and fun new spring outfit.

Shop the Jeans:

Spring Outfits Must Own Pieces: This red cardigan is super flattering on a pear shaped body!Light Cardigan (size medium): I love a great cardigan for layering in Spring……and this red cardigan from Cabi Clothing? Fits like a dream and goes with EVERYTHING (plus who can resist that bell sleeve)…..great outfit guaranteed with a fun piece like this!

Easy Spring outfits? These are great ideas for casual spring looks!

 Sneakers: Every single time I share pictures that include these wedge sneakers, you guys ask about them.  I own them in both grey and white, and wear them ALL the time (they're great for spring style ideas with simple tee shirt dresses or short)!

Leggings: Remember when I wrote the Ultimate Guide to Black Leggings for a Pear Shaped Body?  If you didn't snag a great fitting pair of black leggings then, do it now.  They're perfect for layering under tunics and dresses as the weather warms up but isn't QUITE hot enough for bare legs.

….and also why are we commenting negatively abou ….and also why are we commenting negatively about people’s appearances in 2023?Double also: if the worst thing people on the interwebs can say about me is that they don’t like my smile…..then I feel pretty good about what type of person I’ve chosen to be.
💕Because we all want our kids to soar………⠀⠀So fitting right? Elvis named this plane after his daughter.  And all I’ve been thinking about throughout our St Jude experience…..is how certain things truly bond all of us.  Certain things cross economic barriers and continent and language differences.  Parenthood is one of those.  It’s a universal experience.  And I think whether we are parents or role models or aunties or friends……we all know what it’s like to dream and hope on behalf of a child in your life.⠀⠀In 2012, when I was newly married and not yet a parent one of my students was diagnosed with cancer.  Without revealing details about her or her family, I think it’s important to recognize that economic barriers prevented what should have been an earlier diagnosis.  It was one of many times I was reminded during my time with the amazing humans in my classrooms that…..we do NOT all have the same access or experiences in life.  That student and her family were one of the miracle stories.  In fact, when she came back to class, she complained about missing soccer games at recess and fell right back in with the rest in a way that to this day brings joyful tears to my eyes. ⠀⠀I said this on my stories during my trip, but…..I didn’t realize until this experience that families at St Jude NEVER receive a bill.  Ever.  No matter what.  That this access gives families hope during their darkest days.⠀⠀I’m going to be teaming up with St. Jude to do a fun challenge that will hopefully inspire y’all to support them too.  Let’s just say that…..for this scared of heights, refuses to take my feet off the ground theme park girlie……I’m going to making the ultimate sacrifices.⠀⠀What rides would you want to see me go on in support of St Jude? (be kind, I’m literally TERRIFIED of any and all rides that have a height limit). You know they REALLY moved me if I’m even thinking of doing this! ⠀⠀@stjude #stjudeambassador
💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is fam 💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is famous for…..so many of you guessed it in stories last night!🦆The Peabody Hotel is famous for their duck parade.  And we got to see it as a part of Day 1 of the St Jude Content Creator Summit.  I’m in Memphis to learn all about how St Jude is doing life saving research to fight and cure childhood cancers.💕Real talk: I get to do a lot of fun things because of this little app but projects like this? Are an absolute honor.  Did you know that patients at St Jude NEVER RECEIVE A BILL? What a gift to families in crisis. I’m so happy to share this next couple of days here in Memphis with y’all and to support such an important organization.🦆Now, swipe to see the ducks. @stjude #stjudeambassador
She IS Ariel. We saw it. It’s a gift. This s She IS Ariel. We saw it.  It’s a gift.  This stunning movie shows a princess who is absolutely……royal.  Graceful.  Brave and……the perfect mermaid. Years ago, I was sitting in the theater during the live action Lion King premiere just days after the Little Mermaid casting was announced.  And in walked Halle Bailey.  This young girl and all I could think was……how much weight of the world was on her shoulders.  The room paused.  And people everywhere stood.  They applauded her and smiled and I thought…..she really is a princess. Halle, you are the epitome of royalty.  Thank you for sharing your shine with the world.I would love to encourage you to follow these amazing creators who have been shining themselves and sharing a ton of special Little Mermaid experiences:@jenniferborget @erikaenchanted@davidvaughn@_the_adventurous_rjay@colormemagic@melizzablackLydia’s, Robbie’s and my full review of the film will be on the blog Monday morning.How excited are you for the film? Who is your favorite Little Mermaid character? #littlemermaid #colormemermaid #ariel
Mother’s Day Memories: Starting to wonder how ma Mother’s Day Memories: Starting to wonder how many more years we have of this family tradition before SOMEONE becomes a full blown teen / tween and the Happiest Place on Earth is a whole different vibeWe: hugged our favorite characters, danced every time mom got a coffee (swipe for that excellent content), Lydia and Robbie rode all the mountains, walked 22,000 steps on Saturday alone, and Robbie finally got to see Toontown for the first time since it’s reopening.We slept like rocks on the comfy beds at the JW Marriott (it was such a kind gesture when they offered to host us for Mother’s day weekend), I drank my morning coffee in their beautiful garden, and loved that it was a quick 15 minute walk to the Disneyland gates.  If you are looking for a luxury hotel experience near Disneyland, I highly recommend.  They have great dining options, a Starbucks in the lobby each morning, and a lovely pool.  This was a perfect treat yourself location.Have you done a holiday at Disneyland? My favorites (in no particular order): Halloween (Oogie Boogie is the best), Holiday Time and Mother’s Day……each has it’s own unique flavor.@MarriottBonvoy #MarriottBonvoy @jwmarriottanaheim #jwmarriottanaheim #MarriottBonvoyMoments Hosted
