Black + White Simplicity

Blazer: Loft; Dress: swapped (similar); Shoes: Go Jane; Necklace: Shoxie

Though I've worn plenty of color so far this year (especially pink), I've also worn a great deal of black and white.  When you are short on time in the morning, sometimes coordinating patterns or bright colors is a bit of a lofty goal. On these days, picking the simplest of colors: black and white works best.

My thoughts and prayers are still with those affected by the Boston Marathon bombings.

Yellow + Black

Blazer: Loft (old); shirt: H&M; Necklace: Shoxie; Skirt: swapped; wedges: Target

There's nothing like adding a dash of yellow to your outfit to
brighten your mood.  

I've been wearing a lot more black and white lately, so adding a
dash of color gives this look a nod to spring.  Speaking of spring,
I sure hope this morning's snow was the last until next winter.

Hope your week is off to a great start!

Happy Monday!  Though I missed that hour we lost over the weekend, I'll gladly give up the hour for more sunlight in the evenings.  Daylight savings is definitely a win-win for a style blogger.  Spring (closely followed by fall) is my favorite season so I'm happy that it's nearly here.  This dress will easily transition to spring weather and the next time I wear it, I hope it's warm enough to go without a bulky winter coat . Despite the lack of heavy outerwear in these photos, a winter coat is still very much a necessity until spring weather decides to stick around.

Enjoy this last stretch of winter and have a great week!

Happy Friday! Who else is really looking forward to the weekend?

I'm determined to get a few more wears out of this loudly colored maxi skirt before

I retire it for the season in order to embrace cooler weather colors and prints.  I'm loving summery maxis skirts so much that I'll definitely hunt for a couple to wear this fall on my next swapping or thrifting trip.  Stay tuned for my complete fall wish list soon.

What are you looking forward to wearing this fall?

Have a lovely weekend!
