spring

It's the first day of spring!  It's still in the below 0 range, but we're getting closer.  I thought I would celebrate by wearing this cute Anthropologie "blouse", which I'm wearing as a dress because I'm petite and it's quite long for a blouse.  I love the mixture of stripes and florals, but I especially love the sleeves (see below).  I'll be living in this dress over the next few months.  Plus, it's a perfect piece to transition into spring with because you can add tights for now.

It's way too cold to take pictures of this dress without a coat on, but I managed to take one on our porch.  The sleeves also look great pushed up.

 I've definitely been having a blue moment lately, so when I saw these Zara peep toe wedges, I fell instantly in love.  (They also have them in coral, which I'm also loving this spring so I might have to pick them up as well.)  Of course, the first thing I thought to pair with my new shoes was my blue GAP khakis.  I love these pants so much I think I might buy them in every colour (I already have them in red, previously seen here).  I'm already thinking ahead to my next outfit: wearing these pants and shoes with this blue Madewell top.  I was never into the matchy-matchy look, but I see it everywhere and now am obsessed with it!

florals + stripes

{blazer: Joie (sold out, but love this one); top: RW&CO. (old); boyfriend jeans: GAP;

bag: RED Valentino; necklace: Dior (vintage); booties: MICHAEL Michael Kors;
sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs (old); nails: Sephora by O.P.I 'Havana Nights'}

It's been a trend for a while, but I'm loving everything and anything floral, especially mixed with stripes.  (Stripes are also a huge trend (aren't they always?), so it's easy to find some great pieces out there.)  I've been picking up everything floral, from these J.Crew "Liberty Chino" shorts, to this Madewell tee (which has the best of both worlds!), to this beautiful vintage Dior necklace.  This weather can't make up it's mind whether it wants to be spring or still winter, so wearing florals is the closest I think I'm going to get to spring.
