5 Spring Outfits With a French-Girl Twist — As Styled by Taice at Archery Close
Spring dressing should feel like an exhale. More color. Looser silhouettes. The kind of effortlessness that looks like you barely tried — and yet somehow got it exactly right. That's the French-girl energy we're leaning into this season at Archery Close, our boutique in Stowe, Vermont. We teamed up with The Mom Edit — and their founder Shana (@themomedit) graciously modeled every look — to walk through five complete spring outfits that capture exactly that feeling: polished without being precious, colorful without being loud, and always, always wearable.
Whether you're looking for a head-to-toe look to shop right now, or just a spark of inspiration to make getting dressed exciting again, these five outfits — all available at archeryclose.com — are your spring wardrobe starting point.
Outfit 1: The Navy Set — Effortless Coordination Done Right
A matching set is the closest thing fashion has to a cheat code. This Hunter Bell Manning Top and Cunningham Pant in navy anchor the look with a clean, put-together base — then the layering begins. A Sessun puff-sleeve overshirt adds that relaxed French-girl dimension, breaking up the formality of the set without distracting from it. Finished with the Sessun Luna Clutch, it's the kind of outfit that works for a lunch in town, a gallery visit, or simply a walk through Stowe on a crisp spring afternoon.

Outfit 2: Print Mixing for People Who Think They Can't Print Mix
The secret to French-girl pattern dressing? Anchor it with something familiar. Here, the Louise Misha Cora Blouse plays beautifully against the Sessun Aldricks Pant in blue print — the shared cool-toned palette does the heavy lifting, making the mix feel intentional rather than chaotic. A classic Barbour Weaver jacket grounds the whole thing, while the Premiata Steven sneakers keep it from tipping into precious territory. The Birdie Blue Fanny Pack is the kind of small-but-perfect detail that elevates a great outfit to a complete one.

Outfit 3: Denim + Red — The Most Reliable Spring Uniform
There is no combination more eternally correct than denim and red. The Stella Nova Denim Scallop Dress is the kind of piece that earns its place in a wardrobe for years — worn on its own when the weather turns warm, or layered over an Alex Mill Jo Striped Shirt in white and red for exactly this kind of transitional-season magic. The stripe peeking out from the neckline and hem is pure Parisian instinct. Penelope Chilvers Irvine Tassel Loafers and a Frances Valentine Billie Sling Bag in red bring it home.

Outfit 4: The Stine Goya Moment — When One Dress Is the Whole Outfit
Some pieces make a decision for you. The Stine Goya Romantic Voluminous Sleeve Dress in Horses is one of them. The print is joyful, the silhouette is editorial, and the whole thing lands somewhere between garden party and art opening — in the best possible way. It's the kind of dress you put on when you want to feel like yourself, but a slightly more interesting version. The Cliff + Soph Design Blue and Green Knuckle Clutch leans into the color story and brings a sculptural, conversation-starting finish.

Outfit 5: The Blazer Outfit That Works for Everything
If the first four outfits are about color and joy, this final look is about the blazer as anchor. The Smythe Taped Seamed Blazer in Taupe Tweed is a piece Taice reaches for constantly — it makes everything under it look more considered. Here, it's paired with the Christy Lynn Sally Blouse in Brown Polka Dot (a softer, more feminine print than you might expect, and all the better for it), ICON Tiny Jeans in Indigo Raw, and the Huma Blanco Harlow Boot in Bone — a heel that's actually wearable. The Le Tanneur Emilie Pouch is understated and impeccable, the way the best French accessories always are.
