Yesterday was the first day of spring, but it definitely didn’t feel like it in the Midwest. Super cold and blustery, although the sun was shining (small wins). So even though I wanted to wear a bright yellow sundress and sandals, that wasn’t too reasonable. Believe it or not, there are limits to the amount of discomfort I’m willing to endure for fashion. And also looking stupid.
I started with a floaty sleeveless chiffon top and a mint-colored belt, but tempered the chill by adding cold-weather tested cords, suede booties, and my navy leather jacket. (The love affair with this jacket continues; I’m convinced I’ll be wearing it with summer-weight whites in early June.)
…And we’re due for 2 more (potential) snow storms this week! The sundresses will have to wait.
Such a cute outfit- even if it’s not a yellow sundress. 🙂
That jacket is absolutely gorgeous! Yummy, buttery leather!
Happy tourney time!

Gorgeous!
That jacket was a very, very good choice…..so versatile!!! Outfit looks wonderful. ☺
I would totally wear that amazing jacket all year long, too! Beautiful!
Love the booties and cords- great mix with the spring top!
Here it was like a battle between winter and spring was going on yesterday. The morning started off with pouring rain and hail, but then the sun came out in the afternoon! Still really chilly though. I think the little pop of green and the floral prints in this outfit do a great job of making it springy, but you’re still keeping warm with the leather. Great look.

That top is so cute…I love it with the belt!! It won’t stop snowing in NW Pa. Times like these, I wish I was still a skier!

As I type, it’s snowing. ARGH. Let’s just quit and move to the tropics, are you game? 🙂
I feel your pain, kudos on looking fab in the freezing temps. Can’t wait to see you in your spring wardrobe!

Rocking it, as usual. Love your beachy hair!
Lovely outfit! I love that mint belt combined with that shirt, so pretty 🙂 I thought the belt came with the shirt originally until I saw the close up haha

I bought the belt just last weekend, and when I held it up to the top I noticed that the mints matched up! Fashion kismet. 😉
Loving the bright mint with this outfit- really brings out the mint in the top! Hope your weather gets warmer soon! 🙂

That top is so cute, and will be perfect for spring once it ACTUALLY warms up. 🙂 In the meantime, great look!

Lovely!
You look beautiful and spring-ready despite the temps!
Love your closet! Do you have to switch out winter and summer shoes, or do they all fit on the shelves?

I’m ashamed (or am I proud?) to say that I have to rotate shoes and clothes by season: fall/winter and spring/summer. 🙂
One would think I would stop shopping… But no, never.
Great post! Happy spring!
That jacket is sex. There. I said it.
I want one so bad!
🙂
Love your jacket too! I’m too ready for spring too but I keep reminding myself that once summer comes (we have horrid humidity), I’ll probably be begging for some cool temperatures. I’d love spring year-round, though!

Loving that belt, lady! Spring is totally a myth right now – what the heck?! We need to some sort sort of anti-rain dance because I am sick and tired of this weather! lol.

I love this! What a great print on the top, and I love the pop of color with the belt! Definitely a great look for the midwest weather. The weather has definitely been weird this past year and the coming year. I mean, we had hailstorms in south texas, which never happens. I hope you get some sunshine for the summer dresses soon though! 🙂
nice! I really love your blouse!
im so over the cold season too! cute outfit
