Where to Wear: Spring Break

It’s finally starting to warm up around here and I’ve got vacay on my mind.  It’s probably because, despite the fact that I’m a few years out of school, I always associate the month of March with spring break.  I’d give anything to be by the beach right about now, but I’ll have to settle for being poolside in a few weeks when I head back to Arizona.  In the meantime, I conjured up two spring break inspired outfits starring this leafy print romper and  this bright orange dress.  Do you have any vacation plans coming up?  Share them with me in the comments section so I can live vicariously through you!

Spring is in the Air

Skirt The Rules // How to Wear Floral & Stripes

As much I love skirts (I do have a blog name to live up to, afterall), I just don’t wear enough of them during the winter because I hate hate hate tights.  Hate.  But I think we’ve finally hit a turning point — even though there’s still a little bit of snow on the ground, spring is in the air!

And so the bare legs are back in NYC!  Obviously they need to catch a few more rays, but I couldn’t wait to take this striped midi skirt out on the town.  I paired it over a floral dress from last summer and the mixed print combo immediately added an extra pep to my step.  Sunnier days ahead, my friends!

Two Ways to Wear: Floral Print

Spring is in the air — sort of.  Despite the fact that there’s still piles of dirty snow sitting on the sidewalks, the days are feeling longer and full of more sunshine.  I call that a win.  Soon enough, the streets will be lined with blossoms and spring wardrobes will be in full bloom.  It’s hands down my favorite time of the year.

To celebrate first hint of spring in NYC, I’m sharing two ways to start incorporating floral prints into your wardrobe.  It’s all about mixing textures and shapes — like this flared skirt with a chunky knit or a flowy blouse with leather leggings — so that you’re ready for the new season, but prepared in case Mother Nature decides to change her mind.
