Dressing For The Season


Hello there! So, I decided: I am definitely over winter. I think part of the reason I'm having trouble putting outfits together these days is because I want to wear spring clothes, but it's just a bit too cold for them! This outfit is kind of a seasonal compromise of sorts, I suppose. Since I couldn't wear full on spring attire, I decided I should at least wear colors that make me feel like it's warm outside. Then, another problem arose though: tights! I in no way wanted to wear tights with this outfit, but there were two issues with that: my legs are seriously hair city (tmi? I have no regrets) and this outfit just didn't need them! It was so springy that I almost tricked myself that it was warm out. Luckily I found these super thin, pastel tights that matched my top, and ultimately surrendered to the weather. It was nice, though, to at least look like spring despite the disagreeable temperatures.

I also just wanted to mention a few things! I got a few new followers the other day, so hello to you, and thanks for jumping aboard my bloggy train! (And hello to everyone else as well, of course!) Also, I added a few new items to my blog shop today, so go and check that out if you like. I made a little button for it right on the side of the page for you to access as well :)

    Haha, I'm in FL, so I pretty much need to make sure my legs look acceptable every freaking day (you never know when there'll be a heat wave demanding shorts or a skirt).
    I really like your "compromise"! This definitely looks like a spring outfit. :D

    I love how you created an outfit that looks warm while still being springlike with the light colours.

    the only reason i'm NOT excited about warm weather is because I have to start shaving my legs on a regular basis, haha! you are not alone with your hairy legs!

    this outfit reminds me of 500 Days of Summer because of all the blue! i love it. and you look so pretty! <3

    Love this outfit! I actually thought it was a dress before I looked at the outfit details. The top and skirt are perfectly coordinated. And the colors are indeed very springlike!

    Such a beautiful transition outfit :) I have to agree with the diffiulties you're having because I am having them too. I keep thinking I'm defying the weather by only wearing a light jacket but then I'm just miserable and cold. Heh.

    I love it I love it! I've found myself being drawn to more springy colors as well lately, especially dusty pink/rose colors, which is silly as I usually hate pink. Anyway, I love the light blues in this outfit, you look lovely. <3
