In the air

Can you feel it?
It's almost here, growing a tiny bit warmer and brighter each day.
Spring.

The spring collections may have been on the racks since January, but it wasn't until the first day the temperature crept above 50 degrees that I had any interest. But now that the crocuses are pushing through and it seems the snow may have melted for the last time, I have become fully invested in spring fashion, and floral.

Having not a single floral print skirt to my name, that was at the top of my list. I found this tiny print black, red and lavender cotton skirt at TJMaxx for $13.

Worn with teal cardigan by Free People, black tank by Gap and rosette necklace by Avon; thrifted earrings
Here are my other favorites:

clockwise from left
Kimchi Blue Boxpleat Skirt - Urban Outfitters - $20
Shirred Floral Skirt - Shade $13
Nikkita Floral Skirt - Delia's - $34.50
Urban Renewal High-Waisted Blossom Skirt - Urban Outfitters - $30
Floral Knit Skirt - Forever 21 - $12.90

While in TJ's, I also found this cute turquoise and pink floral peplum dress for $20.


With so many great floral dresses to choose from, here are a few of my favorites:

Kimichi and Blue Printed Sweetheart Dress - Urban Outfitters - $30
Bouquet Ruffle Dress - Forever 21 - $22.90
Kimichi and Blue Sleeveless Floral - Urban Outfitters - $30
My Rosy Romance - Forever 21 - $18.24
Jasmine Floral Knit Dress - Forever 21 - $6 (better snap this one up quick!)
Tonal Floral Reversible Dress - Target - $20
Fab Rose Knit Dress - Forever 21 - $11.50

Finally, I chose this super bright yellow jacket with a ruffled collar. My sister tells me I look like a clown who had 'an incident' with some mustard, but I disagree -- I think I look like a daffodil.
Either way, this so fun and so spring! It is by Vertigo Paris and was $40 at TJ's with an MSRP of $310.


I was having a tough time finding other yellow jackets, but have a look...

Yellow and white striped trench - Target - $40
Lemon pucker rain jacket - Old Navy - $15

My favorite part about the coming season change used to be my least favorite - the clock change. Sure, you lose an hour, but the evenings are brighter. It won't be dark when I get home from work - and maybe I can start taking outfit photos after work!!!

Also something to look forward to, my very first give away will be posted on Friday!

    I just found your blog for the first time (obviously) and I have to say, I LOVE IT!
    I just spent a good 30 minutes looking through your posts and admiring and drooling over your clothes!!!

    I love this post, in particular, though!
    I love all the inspiration you gave me- that floral dress you pictured yourself wearing is SOOOOO cute.
    I honestly want to go out and buy it this second.
    And thanks for all the other ideas too :)!

    Really, really helpful :)
