The idea of channeling your favorite elementary school teacher and her seasonal bulletin board energy into adult life... I love that so much. And the lookbook is gorgeous!! Stone pastels with a pop of red? Yes pleeeeease. Happy spring Jenna 🌷

my mom and i have been trying to beat each others scores all week! also why did everyone’s stories of their favorite pieces make me slightly teary eyed? thinking perhaps my heart is on cloud nine from the excitement of spring!

Jenna O'Brien's avatar

Right!? Me too! Also...who won? Mom or you?

my mom who said “to be fair, i’ve been looking at colors for longer than you have” 😂

I can certainly make one! Are you stuck on one?

Kenna's avatar

Nope I figured it out lol, thank you!

Kenna's avatar

I love the word searches and crosswords!! They bring me such joy✨

I think the punch needle kit will be the thing that finally fixes all of my life problems.

Jenna O'Brien's avatar

It just might!

That Joanna necklace is so up my alley!

Jenna O'Brien's avatar

Can say that wearing a necklace that looks like a candy necklace makes an instantly better day.

Another fan of the look book! I love how your style balances sophisticated with fun 🦋

I’d love to see your take on spring styles and how you create multiple looks from single pieces - with each season change I tend to ‘forget’ how to dress for the upcoming season; what I loved wearing before, what’s practical for the new temps, etc… thanks for the inspo!

Jenna O'Brien's avatar

Okay — I'm on it! This is a fun challenge!

Madison Trithardt's avatar

Love the lookbook, love the seasonal invitations, love the show & tell!

Jenna O'Brien's avatar

Thanks, Madison!

I loved this! A polka dot/stripes lookbook would be greatly appreciated!

Jenna O'Brien's avatar

Well that sounds like a dream!

Thank you for reminding me that I made a floral paper chain last year for spring- now hanging in my kitchen archway! And I think stone pastels are some of my favourite colours to wear…love your look book!

Jenna O'Brien's avatar

Oh how fun! A seasonal garland is a must.

Anna's avatar

Hey Jenna, I love the looks that you've chosen! 😍You could add a Look for every colors of the week - or you could do a Look book for every season🤷🏼‍♀️ I'd love it any way😉

Jenna O'Brien's avatar

COLORS OF THE WEEK LOOKBOOK. You are better at this than I am!!
