SPRING ON MY MIND

I don't know about you guys but between fashion week and the flood of tropical winter break photos on my feed, all I can think about is spring. With my eyes set on sunnier 2019 styles, I'm so excited about the idea of losing the wintery layers. It may be the New Englander in me that despises this time of year (no doubt traumatized by years of frigidity) but I just LIVE for warmer, sunnier days.

And while you may want to hold off on wearing open toes in the snow, this two-piece set from Chicwish is a pretty great place to start. Paired with over-the-knee boots, it's a bright, bold way to transition into March and April. I also love that I can style the skirt and top separately for extra outfit options. Because let's be honest, there's no such thing as too many options!

THE WEAR EVERYWHERE SKIRT

Before I say how much I love this skirt, l will just admit that pencil skirts used to be the bane of my existence. Constantly tugging and readjusting them as I walked, I used to think of them only as an office attire staple, kind of like a button-down top. Professional, stuffy, and something to wear to an interview, I definitely didn't ever think of them as being 'cool'.

That said, after seeing this style season after season, I've decided to embrace it and find new, dare I say 'exciting' new ways to wear it. The high waist and tailored shape are truly figure-flattering and I love this one from Chicwish because the neutral plaid print looks great with sweaters, graphic tees, silky tanks and more! I can wear it with a blazer to the office then swap out the top for a comfy tee to meet friends for dinner. I can pretty much wear it EVERYWHERE. And while I never thought I'd say it, I totally have a newfound obsession with the pencil skirt.

C’EST LA VIE

Dressing comfy doesn't mean your outfit can't also look elevated. In fact, sometimes I get more compliments when I stick to wearing standard basics. The trick is really adding the right accessories and going for styles that have standout details. A luxe bag, a pair of textured mules or a standout belt can transform even your most classic sweater and jean combination.

This c'est la vie sweater has become an easy addition to my everyday lineup. It can upgrade your favorite pair of skinnies (as seen here) and it can also take your jumpsuit or dress up a few notches.
