Sunday chic.

The sun changes everything doesn't it? Immediately my mood is lifted and everything seems like it's going to be A-OK!

My husband and I spent a glorious late afternoon turned evening date night catching dinner and a show in the city this past weekend while our little nuggets had a sleepover with the grandparents.

While we didn't sleep in at ALL (Daylight Savings...you're a drag) we did throughly enjoy a lazy Sunday morning filled with coffee and the news. Not Bubble Guppies. It's the little things...

Spring glam.

Nothing screams Spring like a fun skirt. That and bare legs. Can we all just agree that winter needs to go "buh-bye?"

If this past weekend was a preview of what's to come...I'm officially excited. Just to welcome more color into my wardrobe is enough to make me want to break out shorts at the mere mention of 50 degree weather. (typical Midwestern girl)

Spring shoe makeover

Each season I assess my shoe wardrobe and weed out the ones that don't fit my lifestyle anymore.

Maybe that heel was just a little too high and I convinced myself it would work. Nope!

Maybe I'll learn to love that platform shoe. Nope!

Maybe I'll wear flats more. Nope!

Wedge sandals are coming back, right? Nope!

The list goes on. It's a healthy purge process and the actual "purging" has decreased over the years. I think I'm finally at an age where I know what looks good on me, what's stylish but not too trendy and where I will get the most ROI.

Creature comforts.

I find comfort in routine while I totally thrive off change. It's confusing isn't it?

Ever since I transitioned out of my FT job and into creating my own company, there's a weight that has been lifted. Not that I was carrying around a burden working at my other job...quite the opposite. I really liked my last job, however; there's a certain pleasure I've discovered in creating my own days...quotas...plans.

It's the first time in over a decade that I feel a tremendous calm and I'm reveling in it. I love tapping into my creative side again.

Stop what you're doing! Ok, grab a cup of coffee and stop what you're doing...

...because SHOPBOP is back with their mega sale and the deals are insane in the membrane! Practice your calisthenics ladies, crack the knuckles and suck down that first cup of java because if this sale is anything like the one last November - items move fast!

Grey day.

Happy March! (these photos were not taken in March!)

We're all ready to lift the winter cobwebs away and start thinking Spring. There's more Instagram photos of flowers and pastels than ever before. Not that I was paying attention.

What are Sunday's for anyway, right?

I see the light!

Truth: My current glasses felt like they were squeezing my brains out of my skull. Within one hour of wearing them I would have indents on the side of my noggin and a headache.

That doesn't sound too fashionable does it? For that reason I got in the bad habit of sleeping with my contacts in overnight because I hated wearing glasses at home. Pink eye...is that you?

Diamonds are forever.

Scuba dresses are easily the warmest dress you could don during the final months of winter. I should know. I have three of them. In fact, I scooped up this one for $7 from H&M. I adore the vibrant colors and pattern. This is a great, classic option as well.

About today's theme. Diamonds are forever. Just like the print on my dress. Just like the glamorous earrings I cloaked my ears in. More on that later...there's something in it for you, too!

Spring - I have a wish list whether you're coming or not!

Today's post is dedicated to Spring. We're moments away from March and I've rounded up my top picks (even in an imaginary world with limitless budgets) that I would be adding to my closet. That is, if money were no object.

Consistent patterns include: polka dots, stripes, pastels and neutrals with a handful of B&W.
