Well, hello. And welcome to the April edition of Favorite Five! In today’s post we are exploring the most popular items among Seasons + Salt readers in April, including purchases and most read blog posts. It’s always interesting to look back and see what resonates. I love when I see a blog post from a year or two ago picking up fresh interest again.
Top 5 Best Sellers of April
1. THE PERFECT VINTAGE WIDE-LEG CROP JEAN IN TILE WHITE
If white jeans are on your list for this season, I highly recommend these! I have them and love them, and it looks like you guys do too. They are very flattering in the shape and silhouette. They are made from thick denim with just the right amount of stretch and just the right amount of wide leg. I recommend ordering them in your usual size or a size up. White jeans always look best when they are a touch looser. You can see how I styled them here and here.
2. CANVAS PLATFORM CHUCK TAYLOR ALL STAR
You guys have seen these many times over on the blog, they are a favorite sneaker of mine; I like them even better than the original Converse. The platform creates more volume on the shoe, and makes them extra soft and comfy. These come in black and white, and you can also design your own! I sized down 1/2 size in these.
3. THE PERFECT VINTAGE WIDE-LEG FULL-LENGTH JEAN IN ELMONT WASH
For the second month in a row these guys are best sellers! Like the white jeans, these are comfortable and pack a super flattering silhouette. The leg is long, and wide, but not too big. I wear them in my usual size and the 29″ inseam hits right at my ankle. See how I wore them here.
4. STRAIGHT-LEG OVERALLS IN LUNAR WASH
I am excited to see these pop up in April’s best sellers because they’ve been a favorite in my closet for almost two years! I love the straight leg and cropped inseam, it creates a nice balance to the look of the overalls; they aren’t too tight or too voluminous on the bottom half. I can wear them with fitted tops or loose tops, or even oversized sweaters! See how I styled them here and here.
5. LEOPARD SLIP DRESS
For me, this is ‘summer in a dress.’ I bought it because I love the relaxed, slip-dress silhouette. I took it in my true size so it would fit me loose like it fits the model. I snapped up this comfy strapless bra, and together they make a great outfit. I’m a little surprised at the popularity of this dress because it’s a bit on the pricier side AND it’s not machine washable. I bought it because I honestly couldn’t find anything else like it. I love the statement it makes with the loose slip dress silhouette, it’s really hard to beat. BUT, recently I came across this dress, which is similar and might fit more budgets. (You can see how I styled the Jenni Kayne dress here.)

Some old and some new, and a carryover from last month!
