Ever since meeting Joyce Lee, head of womenswear design of Madewell this past winter, I made it a habit to check out the site’s warm offerings for the chilly months ahead. While I instantly fell in love with the brand’s elevated, sophisticated basics and contemporary styles, I never managed to buy more than my initial first impression haul. Now that I’m ending my no-shopping period and have transitioned my wardrobe fully into the summer and spring, I’ve revisited Madewell and have fallen even more in love with the cool girl brand. 

My core spring uniform has been made up of versatile pieces I consistently reach for and will transition to summer seamlessly: fisherman sandals, structured jeans, and breezy, poplin button-downs are all included in my starting line-up.
