YOU GUYSSSSSS!!!! Get ready for one of my BEST LOOKS EVER. In todays Monday post I am sharing a look I put together while shopping at Novi Town Center. Everything in this look I bought in stores at the mall on the same day. I challenged myself to create a complete spring outfit in one shopping trip at one mall, and I was beyond BEYOND successful.

Lets break it down.
With spring trends in full swing, I went shopping at Novi Town Center with spring in mind. What might surprise you(it did surprise me) the first item I purchased for my spring outfit is SHOES! I scooped these beauties up at Maurices, they come in both red and a mustard color, and now a black. I found the mustard color to be saturated and rich, and just different enough from all my other spring shoes to create a new look and stand out in my closet. One of my favorite not so secret spots to get shoes for spring and summer is Maurices. This brand always has something fun and COMFORTABLE in the shoe section of their store, the best part? Most of their shoes are less than 50 bucks!
With my mustard shoes in mind, I found a great pair of skinny jeans and this fantastic one shoulder, ruffle top from Lane Bryant. The distressing on the jean, and the fun hemline helps accentuate the shoe, this spring season denim across most brands will get a refresh, you will find current styles remixed, and fabrics will be lightweight and ready for warmer temps. Distressing on denim has become a mainstay in the fashion world, and it really isn’t going anywhere. I love a good black skinny jean, and pretty much all of my jeans these days are distressed in some way. These skinnies are a new favorite, I plan to style them from dressed down with a tee, to up with heels and a blazer.
As soon as I entered the Lane Bryant at Novi Town Center I noticed this cold shoulder ruffle top up in the store display. I love how the cotton fabric creates a stiff ruffle, and the play on a button down shirt is a fun and fresh take for spring, the off the shoulder design of this blouse is very secure(the blouse has sticky tape on the inside of them hem). I don’t feel the top is going to ride up or slip off my shoulders. Lets get in on some details of the blouse. This garment has a light pinstripe to it, and one of my favorite details on the blouse is the buttons, each button matches the fabric of the blouse. All these little details make a great piece, from the soft pinstripe to the thoughtfully designed ruffles and I love that by shopping in store I was able to touch and feel this blouse vs just ordering it off the internet.
The last item that I scooped up to complete my outfit shopping at Novi Town Center was this adorable bag from Charming Charlie! I was initially attracted to this color section of the store because I thought it would bring out the earth tones of my yellow shoes, and I picked this specific bag because of the fantastic metal handles(I am getting Chloe vibes!). The saddle bag shape of this piece is fun AND IT CAME WITH A CROSSBODY STRAP! The size of this bag is great, because it fits alot but isn’t overwhelming my whole look. I am looking forward to styling this little bag with some flowy maxi dresses for summer! The Charming Charlie at Novi Town Center is one of the best ones I have ever shopped at, the service is top notch and they always have a bit of styling advice for you.
Style formula to recreate this look while you are shopping at Novi Town Center.
Skinny Black Denim + Light Cotton Top + Bright Shoe + Fun Handled Bag = A trendy spring look!
Novi Town Center really had everything I needed to put together a plethora of looks, I love that the mall has stores that offer items in my size AND also has places for me to accessorize my clothing items I purchase. Grab a girlfriend, or a family member and head over to NTC to shop for your own spring look!

Wonderful place and post! Novi Town Center has it all, love to shop there!
Awesome place to shop, dine, get my hair and nails done! Great post, my favorite is the Lane Bryant cold shoulder top, really beautiful on you!
Such cute suggestions here, thank you! And you’re introducing me to Maurice’s, I’ve never heard of them but I am loving the options on their website. I wasn’t able to determine whether their shoes are all wide width, as plus-size clothing retailers regularly offer. Do you know?
You are so right about the importance and value of being able to see special items like this blouse in person. Shopping online, I’d never appreciate all the qualities you pointed out. And I just love that unexpected pop of color in your shoes. Such a fun, simple tip that makes a big impact!
