Skirt The Rules // New Balance 501 Sneakers

As much as I love a good heel, sky-high stilettos are not the most practical option for a city dweller like me.  I’m either biking to work or running down a subway platform to catch the train, so that “cab to curb” kind of lifestyle just isn’t going to work.  In reality, I’ll usually have a pair of flats on during my commute and then throw on my heels right before I get to my destination.  If you see a girl switching out her shoes on the corner of the street, that’s probably me…

Skirt The Rules // New Balance 501 Sneakers

Enter the perfect sneakers from DSW.  It’s a shoe style that I never thought I’d pair with something other than sweats and a tank top until recently.  Times have changed, my friend!  Athleisure is the idea of being sporty and comfortable, without sacrificing your style.  The first time I explained the term to a friend, he laughed at me, but it’s a thing!  Sneakers aren’t just confined to the gym or to the feet of middle-aged tourists.  They’re being worn with dresses and skirts, or in my case, with a refined coat and leather leggings.  Gone are the days where I have to stuff an extra pair of shoes in my already brimming tote bag and that’s a trend I can totally get behind.

Maxi & Moto

Skirt The Rules // Floral Maxi DressEvery day that it’s 60 degrees outside, I feel like yelling at the top of my lungs: spring is here!  Well it’s been two weeks since the official start of the season, but spring isn’t really here until picture peonies are clogging up your Instagram feed and the whole city is covered in flowers.  Soon enough!  I see buds popping up in planters on every corner and within a few weeks, the streets will be in full bloom.

Skirt The Rules // Floral Maxi Dress & Leather Moto JacketUntil then, I’ll just have to represent in this floral maxi dress.  I wore something similar for my bridal shower in Arizona, but I love how the black and white palette and a moto jacket give it a bit of an urban update.  It also makes for the perfect backdrop to my new coral crossbody.  Isn’t she a beaut?  Check out some of my favorite floral maxi options below and someone please bring me some spring!

Skirt The Rules // Stripes & Floral Mixed Prints

When I first saw this floral midi, it was love at first sight.  It basically felt like the epitome of spring in the form of a skirt.  And even though NYC is still feeling abnormally cold for this time of the year, I feel like if I dress like it’s spring, the weather will follow suit.  That’s how it works, right?
