Spring Tweed

springtweed_1

Tweed in the springtime is a-okay in my book, especially when it incorporates a few vibrant hues.  Reach for prints or bold brights for pairing in fits like last summer’s favorite peplum (seen here in blue), and try accessorizing your transitional tweed with elegant accessories like, say, ankle strap heels and a vintage bangle.  And don’t forget to consider keeping things short.  Tweed may be a chic classic, but there’s a reason it’s best known for being most popular during cooler months.

Playful Blues

playfulblues_1

The first time I wore this dress was to a wedding last summer, dressing it up with a vintage gold belt, sky-high heels, and plenty of jewelry.  (The second time I wore it was here.)  I love any dress that can be done up to the nines or dressed down with an around-the-waist sweater — keeping layers on hand are always necessary this time of year, and a cute pair of sneakers for a playful vibe.  Fun jewelry is optional, but strongly encouraged.

Shoe Girl

Some girls are crazy for handbags, others are crazy for jewelry, I love those things too, but when it comes down to it I’m definitely a shoe girl.  As a footwear fanatic when I spotted this shoe sketch skirt I knew it had to find its way into my closet.  I love the full, silky fit almost as much the doodled heels, and the black and white print makes it easy to pair with just about anything.  I kept it black and white with a touch of baby blue (with my heels and embellished cuff) for a sleek and simple ensemble.

Free Flow

freeflow_1

Coming home from vacation is tough for all of the obvious reasons, but also the not so obvious ones.  I don’t know about you, but when I’m in vacation mode, especially a quick, long weekend away, all those healthy eating rules I follow back home tend to go right out the window.  Indulgent piña coladas in the afternoon, meals consisting of only onion rings, and potato chips and pizza at 2am are among the mealtime sins I most recently committed and after a few days of that kind of eating, comfort is about the only thing I look for in an outfit.  My staple midi-skirt and slouchy sweater combo is free-flowing enough to save me from spending the first post-vacation day in any sort of yoga stretch pant.

Miami Cool

miamicool_1

What a weekend! It was spent in a city known for its bright vibrant colors everywhere you look, and so since I wore the maxi skirt I’d originally planned to fly in out Saturday night, I couldn’t help but bring a little Miami feeling home with me yesterday with my neon skirt.  It was surprisingly comfortable to fly in (and didn’t wrinkle like I’d worried it might), plus it was a much nicer option for heading straight from the airport to lunch with Alison from Chain Strap Purse and her sweet husband than the rumpled sweatpants that were stuffed at the bottom of my bag.
