BOUJEE WINDY DAY SPRING PICNIC OUTFITS FOR COLD WEATHER
With the first blossoms erupting on the trees, blanketing them in a soft, perfumed snow, you venture out, with a picnic basket in your hand. While seeking a patch of sunshine and a perfect spot to unfurl the checkered blanket (or a soft pink blanket and cushions like me – check the product galleries to shop for similar), spring whispers a windy melody. A playful breeze, quickly escalating into a cheerful bluster, sweeps through the orchard.
But a touch of wind can’t dampen the delightful chaos of a spring picnic. Underneath the blooming apple tree you will lay the blanket, the air hums with the gentle buzz of busy bees, diligently collecting pollen from the newly awakened blossoms. The scent of apples and cherries, both sweet and tart, hangs heavy in the air.
Though the wind tugs playfully at your bangs, its energy adds a touch of excitement to the scene. The branches above sway rhythmically, creating a dappled light show on the picnic blanket. You open your basket, and a few rogue petals flutter down, landing softly on your strawberry pie like confetti. So fun.
1 LACE CARDIGAN ON A BUSTIER TOP AND BUTTER YELLOW MIDI FULL SKIRT WITH POINTY FLAT MULES
The new season amps up with boujee co-ords and spring ready designs that make our hearts sing.
Indulge in the allure of a mesmerizing white lace cardigan layered on a bustier top that accentuates your feminine rizz and butter yellow midi skirt htat sets the tone for retro-chic glamour. The soft, pastel hues evoke the blooming wild flowers, harmonizing with the natural beauty that surrounds you.
The graceful flow and refined tailoring of a midi yellow skirt will elongate your silhouette, granting you an air of sophistication that is befitting of the occasion.
As you walk, its billowing motion gracefully sweeps the grass, and when you sit, it is like sitting on a pillow.
SHOES: Malone Souliers flat mules - I bought mine a while ago - they were part of an exclusive collection and sold out within days. But you can shop for similar Malone Souliers flat mules here. Make sure you size up. I bought mine in size EU36.5 - I went up for half of the size, and I feel they could be slightly bigger. Don't get me wrong, they fit me and they are super comfortable to walk in (they also stretched a little bit - not something I would need as I don't have wide feet), but when I move the camera around, I see the heel looking out more than I would like. I was told that this is the designer's choice, but still, go a half of your size up.
CARDIGAN: white lace cardigan - I bought this cardigan in Miami ages ago and no, you can’t get it online. Sadly, I really wish you were able to get the same cardigan. Apart from being boujee, it’s also made of silk-cotton blend. Well, this one comes close.
TOP: sweetheart cropped top - mine is from H&M and as you can guess (I bet you can remember that collection) it’s super old. I still have it as I don’t throw my clothes away. Also, it pairs so well with so many precious pieces in my closet. And I like it. Anyway, back to you. I found this sweetheart top for you - not even close to mine, and I’m obsessed with it. Also, it comes in airy blue and will transition well into summer. But if you want sleeves - get this top instead. And if you are not into crop tops - this blouse is a must buy.
SKIRT: butter yellow full midi skirt - shop for similar here. Or get this tulle butter yellow skirt.
PICNIC BASKET: shop for a picnic basket here.
PICNIC BLANKET: buy here (the bottom blanket) and here (top blanket). PS. I always have two picnic blankets.
CUSHIONS: buy here - they are a must for comfort.
MAKEUP: Gucci mascara - buy here.
*I layered a structured bustier top and butter yellow midi skirt with a white lace cardigan to create the perfect balance of elegance and practicality for those cooler spring days. The delicate lace overlay adds a romantic, feminine touch while providing that essential extra layer of warmth without compromising on style—critical for those early spring picnics when temperatures can still be unpredictable.
I deliberately chose a bustier top underneath rather than a basic tee because it creates a sophisticated silhouette and elegant foundation that elevates the entire look beyond casual.
The butter yellow midi skirt is my star piece here. Obv not just because of the colour, although it is in the color of the season and it photographs beautifully against blooming landscapes. I chose it because of the the full, voluminous cut that allows comfortable sitting on a picnic blanket.
Finally, I completed the look with pointy flat mules because they offer the perfect blend of refinement and practicality; the pointed toe elongates the silhouette for a more polished appearance while the flat heel is ideal for navigating grassy parks or uneven terrain without sinking in. And you can take them off easily before sitting on the blanket.
This outfit works harmoniously as it balances luxurious textures (lace, structured bustier) with practical elements (comfortable skirt volume, flat shoes) to create a look that's undeniably elevated yet perfectly functional for a spring picnic setting.

2 DENIM JACKET ON A CROP TOP WITH A MINI PLEATED SKIRT AND RETRO SUEDE SNEAKERS WITH A BUCKET HAT
So we might have mixed feelings about a crop top this season and it goes so well with cool casual fits. Just layer it with a denim jacket. As you put it on, a sense of excitement will tingle in the air.
The crop top, with its flirtatious allure, reveals only a hint of your slender waist, leaving those around you intrigued by your youthful charm. Pov, your movements are poetry in motion as the fabric delicately tickles your skin, inviting the touch of spring’s gentle breeze.
Style it with a short pleated skirt (POV you have more fashionable skirts hanging there in your dressing room, but they are just too precious for the grass – wear a short pleated skirt instead), an oversized denim jacket and a bucket hat – to protect you from the sun.
As twilight casts its enchanting glow upon the horizon, you will find yourself bathed in the light of memories that will endon your feed and journal page. The moments you share, the connections you forge, and the vibrant hues of your outfit will forever be etched in your heart and web3. Pov, a romantic spring day, a rizz barbeque picnic, deserves its own chapter in your journal.
SHOES: Adidas Gazelle suede sneakers - shop for similar here. Or don’t. Sambas and Gazelles are outdated. Pov unless they are lilac and suede - like mine. Luckily I knew these two factors will keep my sneakers trendy in 2025 when I purchased them - 3 years ago.
JACKET: H&M oversized denim jacket - yes, a H&M denim jacket. I almost always shop for denim jackets at H&M. What can I say, H&M makes surprisingly good denim jacket. Or perhaps, I just don’t wear denim jackets enough to ruin them and hence I believe in their quality. But thinking better, my sister does wear her H&M denim jackets often (too often IMAO) and after years of wearing they still look OK.
TOP: sweetheart cropped top - the same as before. And I have two more substitutes for you. First this ultra cropped crop top and this sweetheart top that I just so cute.
SKIRT: short lilac pleated skirt - my skirt is sold out, and this one is trending this season.
HAT: bucket hat - mine matches the top, but you will want to match yours with the denim jacket. Bonus points, this bucket hat taps into the fisherman aesthetic - the key fashion trend of SS25.
*For this laid-back BBQ picnic look, I paired the crop top and skirt with an oversized denim jacket and retro suede sneakers (I don’t want to worry if anything lands on my shoes - pov BBQ picnics can be messy if there are kids, sauce, beer and men grilling), and a bucket hat to create the ultimate blend of comfort, style, and practicality.
The oversized denim jacket is the perfect outer layer for unpredictable spring weather. It is substantial enough to ward off unexpected breezes yet chic enough to maintain that effortless cool-girl aesthetic.
A crop top underneath creates a playful proportion with the oversized jacket and the pleated skirt.
The mini pleated skirt adds movement and texture while providing freedom to move around and playing games. Also, the slight flare of the pleats balances the boxiness of the denim jacket, creating a silhouette that's relaxed yet feminine.
The retro suede sneakers provide the stability and comfort needed for walking on grass and uneven surfaces, while their suede texture makes them fashionable this season. Furthermore, unlike canvas sneakers that can quickly look dirty at outdoor gatherings, suede maintains its rich appearance longer while still being relatively practical.
Finally, I topped the look with a bucket hat as it matches my top. But you can go without. Although you might not. Let me remind you of the harmful sun rays. Btw, I have just bought this SPF50 sunscreen mist.
3 WHITE SPRING DRESS WITH ASICS SNEAKERS
Fall into the romantic white lace dress this season, paired with bow socks and Asics sneakers for a delightful twist on the classic picnic outfit. While the key SS25 fashion trends never looked more wearable than on the patio/backyard or wherever you have a barbeque picnic, you can take it out on a picnic blanket in a sun-drenched meadow. Newly arrived, impeccably decorated designs bring a touch of rizz to every social occasion.
Imagine the scene (or just watch the video of my picnic below): the gentle sway of wildflowers, the buzz of bumblebees, and a gentle breeze carrying the sweet scent of honeysuckle. You unfurl your picnic blanket amidst this idyllic setting, the white lace of your dress catching the sunlight like spun sugar. Short white bow socks add a playful touch, peeking out from the Asics sneakers.
The gentle breeze continues its playful dance, carrying the scent of wildflowers, brie, cocoa and something green. Unwrapping the basket, you reveal a chef-d'oeuvre (you are the chef obv - I can give you the recipe) – a flaky, golden asparagus tart. The vibrant green spears peek out from a creamy base. You want to take a bite immediately, but you need to slice the delicate pastry first.
Btw, I made the tart (and cocoa scones with strawberry and whipped cream) by myself from scratch. I made the recipe up on the spot. I didn’t measure, but I know I used butter, flour, salt, and milk (I guess it was milk, as I made the cocoa strawberry pie that you saw in the video above at the same time, as well). I steamed the asparagus for a little bit, then Isautéd them on bacon. I put some bacon (not backed, just sliced) on the dough, spread the sour cream on top of the bacon, and layer it with asparagus and crisped bacon. I baked the dough twice – first, the blind baking and then the second as a tart (but you can bake it just once - put crushed walnuts on the dough before the asparagus). Don’t ask me for the temperature and time of baking – I have all the settings preset in the oven, so I just need to click on the photo of the dish I’m, making. Besides, you are here for my spring picnic outfits and not the picnic food.
SHOES: Asics Gel sneakers - buy here.
DRESS: Self Portrait short shirt dress - my dress is sold out. I bought it a while ago for wine tasting tour (btw dressing for a date at the winery comes with its own set of rules - check the winery dress code). Anyway, I found two dresses that are similar (not in the price though - mine was more expensive than the second one) - see here and here.
ACCESSORY: Chanel hair clip - buy here.
PICNIC BASKET: shop for a hamper here.
*I've styled a short white shirt dress with long sleeves, a dropped waist, and delicate lace embroidery and panels, with a pair of cute socks and comfortable sneakers. This combination creates a beautifully balanced outfit that's equal parts romantic, practical, and playful—ideal for a casual picnic that requires functionality.
The white shirt dress is the foundation of this look, and I've selected this specific style for several strategic reasons. The crisp white color creates a fresh, summery feel that's perfect for an outdoor picnic setting, while the shirt dress silhouette offers a casual structure that still feels put-together. The dropped waist design provides a flattering shape without being restrictive—crucial for comfortably sitting on a blanket and moving around. What elevates this simple dress are the lace embroidery and panels, which add a romantic texture and visual interest without being overly formal. The long sleeves offer practical sun protection while adding a touch of modest elegance that balances the shorter hemline.
The playful socks add personality and whimsy, while the practical sneakers ensure you can walk in the grass.
