There’s something magical about the second week of April in Seattle. The city is blushing with cherry blossoms, painting parks, sidewalks, and streets with soft shades of pink and white. It’s the time of year when we start to shed the weight of winter—both in spirit and in style—and lean into the gentle promise of Spring. As blooms burst overhead and petals scatter across the pavement like confetti, we’re inspired to refresh our wardrobe with pieces that echo that same sense of renewal and lightness.

At Meadow, we believe in dressing with the rhythm of the season—and early Spring calls for thoughtful layering. The mornings are still crisp, often cloaked in mist, but by afternoon, the sun peeks out just long enough to remind us that warmer days are on the way. Our current favorites? Lightweight knits, flowy floral dresses, and outer layers that offer just enough warmth without weighing you down.

Imagine starting your day with a stroll through the University of Washington’s famous Quad, beneath an arch of cherry blossoms in full bloom. You’re wearing a soft, cropped cardigan layered over a flutter-sleeve midi dress in a dusty rose print. The air is cool, but your look feels warm and pulled together. Add a denim jacket or a trench coat for an extra layer of comfort, and you’re ready to head across town for brunch in Ballard or a market run in Capitol Hill.

Spring layering is all about balance—mixing structure with softness, pastels with earth tones, comfort with style. An oversized knit paired with a delicate pleated skirt. An ankle-length duster over high-rise jeans and a tucked-in linen blouse. A buttery suede bag worn crossbody, so you can sip your matcha or carry a fresh bouquet without missing a beat.

Accessories take on a new life this time of year, too. Light scarves in gauzy cottons add a layer of interest without the bulk. We love layering dainty gold necklaces over crewneck sweaters or adding a pop of color with a statement earring. Spring is a season of softness, of subtle detail—think pearl buttons, eyelet lace, and breathable fabrics that feel good against the skin.

This week, we invite you to step outside, breathe in the cherry blossom air, and rediscover the joy of getting dressed. These aren’t just clothes—they’re your companions for the in-between season, for the days when everything is starting to bloom again. Let your wardrobe reflect the promise in the air: light, fresh, hopeful, and just a little romantic.

It’s all of our favorite labels like THE WORKSHOP, ORAIJE, CIELO, BE COOL, RISEN, MICA—and yes, we even have some RETRO slides in stock, plus crossbody bags to complete the look. But honestly? It’s best if you come in and see for yourself. Feel the fabrics, slip into your favorites, and give us a little twirl—we love seeing how each piece fits and flatters all different body types. That’s truly our favorite part: helping you find what feels good, what fits you, and what makes you glow.

Come explore what’s new in the shop—we’d love to help you layer up for the season ahead. Your smiling faces and friendly conversations are what make our work so meaningful. We live for those moments, and always have.

You are the heart of Meadow. From our very first home to where we are now—and as we prepare for what’s next—we’re filled with gratitude. There’s a big change on the horizon, and while we’re not ready to spill all the details just yet, we promise to keep you updated. For now, let’s just say: we’re coming home sooner rather than later we hope, and we can’t wait to share it with you. Don’t lose touch, we can’t do it without you! xoxoxoxo
