1. Neutral Separates
On Meyers: LBLC the Label pants; vintage Bottega Veneta bag; Big Yacht belt; vintage Chanel heels; Ray-Ban sunglasses
"Even though I spend more time on the West Coast, I'm an NYC girl at heart and will always love the monochromatic look. These pieces will get lots of mileage this spring for sure!"
2. Ruched Dresses
On Meyers: Michael Stars dress; Alohas mules; Prada bag; Amazon sunglasses
"The perfect transitional dress from winter to spring is this one by Michael Stars. The ruched bodice is super flattering, and it comes in several colors, including a sleeveless version! These dresses are comfy for travel and can be dressed up or down depending on accessories. Pair with a cropped jacket for cooler days."
3. Loose Denim
On Meyers: Oliver Logan jeans; Re/Done tee; Michael Stars blouse; vintage Gucci belt; Nanushka bag
"Spring is the time to break out the lighter washes and ivory or white denim. I prefer a looser fit that can be paired with a transitional sweater or blouse depending on the weather."
4. Relaxed Black Trousers
On Meyers: Alohas trousers and heels; Saint Laurent blouse; Prada bag
"Classic black high-waisted trousers are a go-to look of mine and can be worn from work straight to dinner. The wide-leg, tailored, and pleated look borrowed from Y2K fashion feels fresh this year for spring."
5. Retro Sneakers
On Meyers: Oliver Logan jeans; Re/Done tee; Michael Stars blouse; vintage Gucci belt; Nanushka bag; New Balance sneakers
"Fashion meets function with '90s-style sneakers that look casual chic when pounding the pavement. They go with everything from jeans to leggings to high-waisted trousers."
6. Vintage-Inspired Accessories
On Meyers: Ray-Ban sunglasses; vintage Bottega Veneta bag; Chanel bracelet
"Chunky jewelry and retro sunnies will be my go-to accessories this spring."
