Weekend Wardrobe: Thinking of Spring Basic 4x4 Wardrobe

Drake's for J. Crew Classic Popover Shirt in Horseback Rider Florals

After an unusually cold winter here in Georgia, I am ready to start thinking about spring.  Of course, it is still too early to start wearing lightweight spring apparel, so I decided to focus on spring colors instead.  For inspiration I chose the J. Crew blouse shown above, which is from their winter collection but features soft accent hues that are are perfect for spring:

The colors I selected are taupe brown, creamy natural, coral pink, and a dusty blue-green.  Let's start with the taupe brown (I included the inspiration shirt in this set):

Next up is the creamy natural color (also known as ivory, beige, stone, etc.):

The third set really takes this wardrobe in a spring-like direction with the coral pink:

And finally the last set of four features the dusty blue-green that has even more alternative names than the creamy natural (peacock and rain cloud?):

Clockwise from top left: Peacocks Women's Printed Placement Top in Cream; Uniqlo Women's Extra Fine Merino V Neck Sweater in Green; Blair Women's Curved Hem Parfait Tee in Peacock; Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda Stretch-Fit Jeans in Rain Cloud.

Put all of these items together and here is the basic 4x4 wardrobe that has me thinking of spring:

Even though there are a few warm sweaters in this collection, these clothes still have me thinking of mild sunny days.  I can't wait to start putting together some accessories for this wardrobe.  With three floral print shirts, I see a few flower-themed scarves and possibly jewelry pieces finding their way into next week's post!
