When I reflect back on the past two months, I can honestly say that I’m so glad April brought a bit more normalcy when it comes to getting dressed. I love being able to style outfits and pull different pieces together. However, I have to admit that it’s been hard to stay motivated to doll up when there’s literally no where to go. That said, I’m really looking forward to ushering purely athleisure looks to the side and shifting my focus back to feminine, warm weather outfits as many stay-at-home orders start to lift. If you need a little outfit inspiration for the new month ahead, I wanted to share a quick Instagram recap of my favorite April outfits. I linked all the details below too in case you’re interested in getting your hands on the same exact pieces.

1. Favorite Leopard Top
This leopard top has been a top seller – and one of my favorite pieces all month long. It works for the office, with denim cut-offs on the weekend, or even dressed up with heels for a date night. It just got marked down over the weekend to 50% off.
Abercrombie White Denim (on sale now! wearing a 24S) | Madewell Camel Hoodie (sold out, similar here) | adidas Camel Sneakers (also here, size down) | NY Yankees Cap | Louis Vuitton Multi Pochette Accessories | iPhone Marble Case
2. Camel Casual Wear
One of the ways I’ve been elevating casual wear throughout the quarantine is opting for neutral tones. This monochromatic camel look feels more chic with matching sneakers than your typical leggings and hoodie combo. Grab the sneakers for 20% off now!

3. Gym To Street
This outfit is perfect when you’re going from a workout or a run to the grocery store. The Nike logo design is such a great way to change up your typical black leggings.

4. Cozy Layer
April was definitely still chilly throughout the month, so this sweater came in handy. I love the cozy, oversized fit and often paired it with my current favorite white jeans.

7. Gucci Go-To’s
This look pretty much includes all my favorite investment pieces from my wardrobe, like the smart blazer, logo belt, designer tee, and the crossbody bag.

8. Casual Weekend Wear
On days when I want to feel more dressed up, I’ll trade the sweats for denim. Combat boots and a leather jacket add that cool-girl edge I love.

10. Tie Dye
I caved into the tie dye trend this month too. It’s such a fun and easy way to spice up your loungewear collection. I’m favoring oversized tie-dye hoodies that make a street style chic outfit.
Target Sweatshirt (wearing an XS) | Target Sweatpants (wearing an XS) | Nike Cortez Sneakers | NY Yankees Camel Cap | Saint Laurent Sunset Bag
11. Loungewear
A cute sweatsuit doesn’t have to be expensive at all. This was one of my favorite sets from Target this month. While it’s sold out now, you can snag a similar set here and here.
