New to Me

Sweater: Francesca's Collections; Skirt: The Wardrobe Boutique; Shirt: Charlotte Russe; 

Boots: It's Vintage Darling: Necklace: H&M; Earrings: Ear Jeans

These days  some of my favorite purchases like this skirt (a pre-shopping hiatus buy) are not new, but they are "new to me".  I never tire of the feeling of finding something I really like in a thrift store or second hand shop.  Whether I buy something new or second hand, I still follow the shopping rule of my childhood: if you love it, and can afford it, you buy it. 

Let's make this week a great one!

Farewell Winter, Hello Spring

Top: Old Navy; Cardigan: Francesca's Collections; 

Skirt: Francesca's Collections; Boots: Go Jane; Jewelry: Target

Happy first day of spring! Though spring is officially here, this outfit was worn a few weeks ago and never made it onto the blog.  I was going for a spring vibe when I picked out this outfit for work, so it's appropriate that these photos ended up being posted on the first day of spring.  In honor of spring's arrival today, I've started developing spring travel plans, picked books for my seasonal book list (which I will post soon), planned a few spring cleaning projects, and started thinking of ways to add new life to some of my favorite spring time clothing items from last season.

 

How have you started preparing for the spring season?
