bright + bold.

I’ve always believed that the brighter and bolder the colors, the better.  And now that the temps are back in the 70’s, it’s time to bask in the early arrival of spring by putting that philosophy to use.

prim + proper.

On Monday, I was feeling feminine and today’s look is as equally inspired.  I bought this LBD in Chicago knowing that I could get plenty of wear out of it.  The conservative neckline is perfect for work, but the a-line cut gives it a little fun flare.  Nude pumps and a structured satchel look prim and proper, while a chunky chained necklace (my latest obsession!) and striped cardigan keeps everything youthful.

weekend wear (fall).

During cooler weather, my weekend uniform will almost always consist of a pair of leggings.  More comfortable than jeans and less fussy than tights, you can’t really go wrong (as long as you cover up in places that were meant to be covered!).  Today, I paired mine with ballet flats and a striped tee for a Parisian feel.  With the pink cardigan providing a signature pop of color, I’m ready for this three-day weekend.  Happy VDW and thanks to all the Vets who served our country!
