Spring Fling

This year has been my first full-time, Winter-into-Spring experience down at our new place in Savannah. And I can attest that winter is way more mild than up North and Spring comes way earlier. Today it’s a cool, cloudy 63 degrees, but it was sunny and 85 a few days ago. All of which means it was time to switch out my closet for a seasonal refresh. I do this twice a year and am pretty merciless when it comes to what I keep going forward and what I sell or give away. Last week I dropped off four shopping bags and one big box of clothing, bags and shoes at a consignment shop I recently discovered. I also sent three boxes to my sister and nieces. Now my Spring/Summer wardrobe feels lighter and more focused. And I love that. This shift also made me feel inspired to get back to sharing my thoughts, style, recos and more with you.

Dressing Up For Spring

Finally the forecast is looking brighter and warmer. Even so, I haven’t yet undertaken my closet switch from fall/winter to spring/summer. In the meantime, I’ve still got a fave pair of booties to slip on. They’re oldies but goodies, and a perfect footwear choice to pair with this cute new (very affordable!) dress.

Baby, It’s Still Cold Outside

In fact, It was a frigid 12 degrees last Sunday morning. But back to today, it’s finally sunny and almost 60 degrees, so I’m cautiously optimistic that I can soon put most of this outfit in storage. We’ll see…

Not So Plain Vanilla

It’s about this time of year that as much as I rely on black pieces as the foundation to my winter wardrobe, I’m also pretty tired of wearing black, not to mention seeing it on everyone else. But if I’m going to shop for something new, it has to have staying power beyond the here and now. And if I can score it on sale, it’s a done deal.

Come Fly With Me

The feather-trimmed shirt I featured in my last post was so fabulous that I had to get it in white as well. Because every wardrobe needs a good white shirt or two, this wasn’t an excessive splurge. I will resell or donate an older version and let this one add a fresh flourish to everything from the corduroy jeans I teamed it up with here to dark denims or a midi skirt. I think the cuffs look so eye-catching fluffing out from the blazer, too.
