Spring Skirt Season

Just a few quick photos on the go today with my iPhone… It was warm enough to wear a skirt today, although with many other layers including tights, a chambray button down, and a scarf. To walk outside a light jacket was necessary, but I am finally free of my winter coat!! Hooray, spring is in the air! I am so excited to start wearing skirts and dresses regularly now that the temperature is a little more forgiving.

I was a little hesitant about wearing a white skirt with dark tights, but by wearing tall boots and adding another dark color on top with the scarf, and since the tights were patterned, it felt balanced and acceptable. What do you think? The skirt is kind of a winter white and it is wool so I deemed it appropriate to wear with dark wintery accents, as well as the sunny pop of pink of the cami peeping out. 

I saw people wearing tee shirts and flip flops again today, and we left our door open for a while at work, but it did get rather chilly with the door open! As tempting as it is to break out the flip flops I'd rather stay warm! I did see one day next week forecast for 70 degrees though… I am hoping the weatherman is right about that one!

#SelfieSaturday

Ok, I’ll be honest, I may have taken a lot of selfies on vacation in Florida. (I know, I know, how ridiculous and self-absorbed of me). I didn’t want to be that annoying girl constantly asking my friends to take pictures of me (“can you take a picture of me in front on that tree? Can you take a picture of me in front of that building? And in front of that rock?”), so instead I was that annoying girl who was constantly taking pictures of myself. I just needed to document the trip and my cute outfits, you know? Don't judge, we've all done it. Plus, that new #Selfie song by The Chainsmokers was playing constantly and may have encouraged me… (I'm sorry. Really).

Anyway, I just wanted to share a few more photos from my trip to Florida before we get back to the cold weather and bundled outfits I am forced to post about at home. Since it was in the 70's while I was there with no humidity and lots of wind I wore a lot more long sleeves than I had expected to, but it was sure as heck better than -16 wind chills that I am experiencing now!  I had a really good time in the sun, and I wish I could go back already! 

Classic selfie at the beach (sorry about the thumb in the pic, whoops). You can even see the ocean reflected in my sunglasses! 

T-shirt: Ruche. Sunglasses: Ruche. 

As soon as we landed I changed into shorts and flip flops and we headed for the beach.

Dress: Ya Los Angeles. Denim jacket: Gap, similar. Earrings: JoJo Loves You. 

 We got to ride in a four-seater airplane, a terrifying and exciting experience! 

This is the terrifying moment when I got to steer the plane!! 

T-shirt: J. Crew. Jeans: H&M. Sunglasses: Ruche. 

Just kicking up my feet! Jeans: H&M. Sandals: Splendid.  

Please excuse my tired face, I literally woke up, put a swimsuit on and went to the beach. But I had to take a photo of how curly my hair was!! I went to bed with damp hair and this is how it looked when I woke up. Amazing. 

Top: Angie, similar on F21 here, here, here. Bikini top: Nanette Lepore via ModCloth.

Thanks for putting up with me today!
