March at a Glance

Skirt The Rules // White Ranunculus

Can you believe it’s March already?  The year is flying by way too fast and we’re only a few months in!  I feel like March is such an underrated month, but I’m ready to kick it into high gear.  I’m finally shaking off that hibernation-mode feeling and making it a goal to hit the gym in the morning, bike to and from work and grab drinks with friends more often.  I’m officially back and re-charged.  To kick of the new month, I thought I’d share a few things that are on my radar right now.

Currently reading:  The Divergent series, because I’m a sucker for a YA novel. I picked up the first book over a year ago and couldn’t get into it, but loved watching the movie.  Now I’m taking another stab at it before the second installation hits theaters and I can’t put it down.  Plus, I love reading the book before the movie comes out to see how my imagination compares to the real deal.

Ready to: Ditch the puffer coat and the blanket scarves for anything lighter.  I’m at the point where I want to burn every piece of winter clothing I own.  East coast friends, I’m sure you can relate.  West coast friends, I hate/envy you right now.

Need to buy: Every flowy maxi dress I can get my hands on — in preparation of spring, of course.  I’m obsessed with this floral print number.  Isn’t she gorgeous?

Can’t wait for: Daylight savings time to be over next Sunday so that we can get our longer days back.

On my to-do list: 1) Tackle spring cleaning.  2) Focus on decorating the apartment (after living here for 2.5 years).  3) Celebrate the fiancé’s birthday. 4) Wrap up any outstanding wedding to-do’s.  5) Head back to Arizona for a bridal shower hosted by the best friends I could ever ask for.

Pool Side

Skirt The Rules // White Eyelet Skirt

When I think of March, I think about road trips, barbecues and pool parties.  I dream about flouncy swimsuits and eyelet skirts and I imagine myself lounging by the pool, catching up on all my favorite magazines.  And then I realize that the first days of the month in New York actually look like this.  The struggle is real guys.  March will always conjure up the memories of spring break, the promise of colorful blooms and even brighter swimwear. We’re almost there guys — I can feel it!  I got a taste of it back in Arizona a few weeks ago and I can only hope warmer days make their way over to the east coast ASAP.

Go With the Flow

Skirt The Rules // Mint Swing DressI can’t remember the last time I got to wear a flowy dress, but you better believe I got my fair share of them while I was back in Arizona.  In warmer weather, I live in airy dresses like this.  They’re just so comfortable and easy — and I’m not gonna lie, when James and I stuffed our faces during our menu and cake tasting for our wedding, this cami dress came in handy … for obvious reasons.
