Hello everyone!

Today is a busy day for me in that I have to run around a lot before my internship but alas it happens! I wanted to throw out some old items, and some not seen on this blog pieces too. It is chilly today so layers are the word of the day....

Starting to Look like Spring

 It finally started to feel like spring this weekend.  And I took full advantage of it by breaking out my tank tops and wedges.  I actually left the house on Saturday morning in a cardigan but returned home after running some errands to put on a lighter top.  I really like how my two orange tanks layers over each other.  The warm weather was such a treat!

 Today I cast off my tights and embraced spring by going bare legged.  It felt so nice not to  have to worry about tights today.  I decided to embellish my basic blue Boden dress with a borrowed scarf from my mother.  I didn't want to go overboard as I love the shape of this dress and how flattering it is.  I finished off my outfit with my basic brown BR pumps.  It was so nice not to have to worry about layering for warmth today!

Monday Heat!

Today is going to be a HOT day in April! With work and then fun times in Williamburg afterward I wanted to look good but also to get around. The skirt, despite its length is easy to wear and a sweater will help with a chilly office.

Opaque

 Another day, and some more thoughts about tights.  I think I say this every time I post about this dress, but I love this dress.  It's simple, it's easy, it has polka dots!  But it is also incredibly short.  To be anywhere near office appropriate, it has to be worn with opaque tights.  If I did not wear dark colored or opaque tights with this dress it would be way to much thigh for the office.  Yes, even paired with flats. This is one of the things I begrudgingly like about tights - they can make skirts and dresses that would otherwise be too short to wear to the office suddenly office appropriate. So today I went for my wine colored tights.  I also added one of my mother's vintage necklaces (that my father made way back in the 70s) to have fun with the neckline and play around with my different accessory options with this dress.
