I know, I know, it’s March, not April. But I couldn’t resist the play on words for such a floral-packed outfit!

I’m off to LA today to spend a few days soaking up the sunshine and hanging out with my girl Brigitte. On this particular trip, I’m much more interested in getting some sun than partying, but if we do go out, I would love to rock an outfit like this.

I’m spending the week in the Pacific Northwest, and in the spirit of that, I put together this outfit that’s perfect for a rainy day. The leggings and umbrella add little pops of color to any grey day.
1/ turnbridge trench coat // 2/ remnant leggings // 3/ split neck tunic // 4/ haberton umbrella // 5/ hunter boots
One of the on-trend colors for spring is hunter green. It’s the perfect transitional color as we move from winter to spring, and it serves as a more interesting neutral than tan or khaki.
Grab this color in a sweater or jacket and pair it with my painterly (another spring trend) wellspring leggings for a look that’s casual and easy, yet doesn’t scream “I’m trying really hard to hit all the trends at once!”
1/ cabled tunic // 2/ wellspring leggings // 3/ enchain necklace // 4/ stem shoulder bag // 5/ courtney bootie
This outfit encapsulates almost everything I love – black and white, mixed patterns, and a ball skirt. Plus, I love the mix of the super formal skirt with this wool moto jacket.
1/ embroidered kaftan // 2/ abella long ball skirt // 3/ wool motorcycle jacket // 4/ kathrine earrings // 5/ magpie foldover clutch // 6/ zara pointed shoes
After months of dreaming of somewhere warm, I’m finally heading to the West Coast to escape our never ending winter! Truth be told, I don’t typically travel with jeans (they take up so much room), but I can definitely imagine myself sitting on a patio, sipping cocktails and enjoying some evening ocean breezes.
1/ striped caftan // 2/ boyfriend jeans // 3/ kathrine earrings // 4/ saturday morning foldover clutch // 5/ playa sandals
One of the keys to dressing with confidence is to understand your body type and look for clothes that enhance what you’ve naturally got without fighting with your body. (Thinking about clothes that don’t fight with your body is a much more positive way of thinking about it than “trying to hide your flaws.”)
That’s what this dress would do for me. It’s narrowest exactly where I’m my most narrow (right below the bust line) and gives me ample room for my hips. I don’t own it, but just looking at it online, I know it would be a home run for me. (That’s the power of understanding, and embracing, your body type.)
I would love to wear this dress on a date night with my husband, preferably somewhere warm. (Since I’m so sick of winter!) Or perhaps to a spring or summer wedding. A dress like this calls for simple accessories – a little black necklace, a pop of color in the clutch, and a cardigan in case it gets chilly.

I’ll admit it. I’m obsessed with these navy booties from Rag & Bone.
So much so, that I’m almost willing to swap all the black in my wardrobe for navy just to have an excuse to buy these.
Fortunately, not only is navy the “in” neutral, but it is now perfectly acceptable (and totally stylish) to mix it with black.
Now if only I had a spare $500 to spend on those shoes…

March might be one of the most frustrating months, fashion-wise. All the spring clothes have hit the stores. (And, if you’re like me and totally sick of winter, you can’t wait to wear them.) But, if you live in the majority of the US, it’s still too cold to wear those spring styles.
That doesn’t mean you have to ignore them. Splurge on a cute spring dress or two. By mixing in leggings, tall boots, and a cardigan, you can wear those spring styles now.
That means a longer lifespan for those spring clothes, plus your winter wardrobe gets a much needed boost.
