Then, knowing you shouldn’t be thinking the negative thoughts about yourself that you’re thinking, you feel even WORSE? Who’s to judge that my insecurities and feelings aren’t valid? In an age where you’re supposed to embrace and celebrate your flaws, am I still not allowed to feel insecure? You’re entitled to your feelings, and more importantly, you’re entitled to your insecurities.

I gathered some of my favorite styles, and found a bunch of affordable options for you to shop if you’re looking to upgrade your outerwear this Spring! I so happen to love wearing this paired with the matching shorts as I did in this Instagram post here, but it’s also the perfect addition to a pair of jeans or a chic sundress! If you’re looking for some budget-friendly options, check out some of my favorites below because they’re all under $100! Pinstripes are thin vertical stripes that are usually found in more formal men’s suits but I love the juxtaposition of wearing an oversized pinstriped blazer with a casual pair of jeans kind of like Miroslava Duma is doing above!

If you’ve never heard of them before, it’s basically SPF in a serum that you can add to any moisturizer for sun protection (I’m loving this cult favorite from Augustinus Bader right now! ) One thing I noticed about this formula, in particular, is that it’s very moisturizing and easily soaks right into your skin- which you wouldn’t necessarily expect from a mousse! It’s got rosemary oil and peppermint oil to help balance skin and protect against free radicals. It’s hydrating, slightly tinted (so it’s great to wear on its own or to layer with your usual makeup) and it has SPF 45.
