Even though the weather can’t decide if it’s spring or not, from a wardrobe standpoint, I’m declaring it. Spring is here! Especially with an outfit like this.
1/ kathrine earrings // 2/ bronze stone bracelet // 3/ crossing over sandals // 4/ high low dress // 5/ striped cardigan // 6/ magpie foldover clutch
I love having an excuse to buy a fantastic dress. Whether it’s a wedding or an evening out, it’s fun to have a reason to get a little dolled up.
But I hate the idea of that fantastic dress sitting in my closet, never being worn again. Fortunately, swapping heels for boots, bare legs for leggings, and evening accessories for a classic cardigan takes a stunning nighttime look and makes it practical for every day wear.

I have to admit, I’m not a big movie goer. (I think the last movie I saw in the theater was the final Harry Potter movie.) But I’m a sucker for old movies. Audrey Hepburn. Grace Kelly. Claudette Colbert. I can’t get enough.
A big part of that may be the style. Classic. Chic. Impeccable. What’s not to love?
This outfit would be equally at home in one of those classic movies as it would today. Plus, the dress has pockets. Always a win in my book.

The flight home from any trip can pose an interesting fashion dilemma. Since you’ve been away, most of your clothes are probably now dirty. You want to be comfortable. But you don’t want to look like a total bum, in case you run into someone you know in the airport.
This outfit is pretty similar to the one I wore home from my recent trip to the West Coast. It’s fun, comfy, and easy. And don’t worry about the mix of neutrals – that’s totally ok now. (I love that we’re finally letting go of those dated fashion rules!)
1/ cotton jersey shirt dress // 2/ remnant leggings // 3/ open cardigan // 4/ adventure bag // 5/ yoga sling sandal
Now that we’re finally climbing out of winter, it’s time to start dreaming about lovely brunches, wearing skirts, dresses, and sandals. And if there’s still a little chill in the air? Just toss on a scarf for a bit of warmth and a pop of complimentary colors!
1/ chiffon blouse // 2/ overblown floral skirt // 3/ saturday morning scarf // 4/ peacock bucket tote // 5/ picon sandal
The calendar says it spring, but the weather? It’s still not sure.
This outfit bridges the transition from winter to spring and the bright pops of color serve as a reminder that warmer days will be here soon!
1/ layering tank // 2/ magpie leggings // 3/ hazelton jacket // 4/ weekender bag // 5/ ankle boots
The day after travel can often be a bit of a slow day. Especially when you’re making the transition from West to East coast (and from sun to rain) in the middle of the workweek. That kind of jet lag calls for a simple, easy, yet classic outfit, especially when you’ve got errands to run and work to do!
1/ chambray eyelet sweater // 2/ jenny jean // 3/ audrey necklace // 4/ ciccio glasses // 5/ magpie foldover clutch // 6/ yoga sling sandal
PS. I discovered these shoes while I was in Santa Monica, and there are seriously the most comfortable sandals you will ever wear! They are going to be my go-to casual shoe as soon as the weather warms up!
In case it isn’t obvious, I’ve become a big fan of pattern mixing. And it’s not just here on the blog. Yesterday, I wore this dress and leggings combo in real life.
As I’ve mentioned before, the secret to mixing patterns is to vary the scale but keep the color palette related. That makes it possible to mix this spring’s florals (they are all over the place) with a pair of my printed leggings and not look like a crazy person!
1/ floral henley shirtdress // 2/ royal leggings // 3/ kathrine earrings // 4/ canvas tote // 5/ printed espadrilles
This military-inspired shirt jacket is incredibly versatile. For starters, you could wear it as a shirt or a jacket. It could also translate really easily from a great business look (paired with a pencil skirt) to a casual, weekend look (with your favorite leggings, of course).
1/ shirt jacket // 2/ faux raffia pencil skirt // 3/ alice necklace // 4/ wings foldover clutch // 5/ henry glitz watch // 6/ patent leather pumps //
1/ shirt jacket // 2/ stem weekend bag // 3/ jackie boots // 4/ racer back tank // 5/ shades necklace // 6/ wellspring leggings
