Happy Monday! I took a brief trip to the West Coast last week just in time to experience some of the heat wave they were having in LA.  I thought it would be too cool to wear the dresses I packed like this black one, but it definitely wasn’t with temps being in the high nineties.  Since it will be quite a while before we see that type of weather again in Philly, I thoroughly enjoyed it!  Travel is good for the soul.

Here’s to a positive and productive week!

Springy White

Shen Dove | White and Blue edit option 2

Blazer: H&M // Top: Marshalls // Jeans: Target // Pumps: Target // Clutch: ?

Happy Wednesday! I don’t really subscribe to the “no white before Memorial Day or after Labor Day” rule.   So my white blazer has been a major wardrobe staple this spring.  I’ve worn it everywhere from work, to evenings out with friends, and everything in between.  I love having items in my wardrobe that I reach for over and over again.

What item has been a staple for you this season?

Springy Florals

Blazer: Macy’s, Boy’s section // Dress c/o AmiClubWear // Shoes: Target // Bag: H&M (old)

It wouldn’t feel like spring unless I occasionally wore bright colors or florals and this dress which I received courtesy of Ami Club Wear has both.  The dress is also kind of “business in the front,” and “party on the sides” with cut-outs that can easily be covered up with a blazer for a more conservative look.  I will definitely style the dress more casually so the cut-out sides can be seen when the weather warms up.

Do you have any clothing items or styles that you look forward to wearing this season?

I had some doubt, but I now admit that we are in the era of the selfie (and also perhaps the hashtag).  Though selfies are not new, they are definitely ubiquitous now.  As I was photographing this weekend outfit, I saw a guy in the next block down taking a selfie of himself with his phone in front of a mural.  But if I can photograph my outfits on a regular basis, I see no problem with that guy taking selfies on a tiny Philly side street.  Have a fantastic week!
