spring staples

lace raglan, aa

sunglasses, aa

jean jacket, bp

riding pants, aa

alicia pump, rj girl

leather backpack, goodwill

After two mimosas on my 21st birthday brunch, my fur coat and I stumbled into the Mission district Goodwill where this backpack was smiling at me in the doorway. With no hesitation I simply grabbed it, paid for it, stuffed my belongings in it and we haven't separated since. It is now accessorized by a SF Giants pin, I'll show you guys soon.

Anyways, I lived in these riding pants over winter and I believe if this cool San Francisco weather continues, I will have lots of use for them this season. During spring I tend to dress in a lot of black, white & red-- but especially white.

There are a few pieces I'm excited to share with you guys, most from my allowance at work. Lots of chiffon. Lots of floral. Lots of lace. But I am most excited about these new Dolce Vita wedges I got from Fancy French Cologne. I've already decided they are going to be my everyday go-to shoe this summer.

Go Giants!

spring fever

Here are a few reasons I'm so excited for spring to arrive:

SKIRTS


FLORALS


& STRIPES

I went through my closet, packed away the turtlenecks, houndstooth & cableknit sweaters.

As soon as I pulled out my bathing suits, springtime shorts & sandals, I went crazy and logged a bunch of outfits for this spring.

I'm so excited for the 70's influence this season. I need to get my hands on some avocado and coral shades.

Keeping a lookout for nice white tops to accent the coral lipstick I anticipate wearing in a few weeks.

Apparently the forecast says rain in the upcoming weeks, but I don't know if I can wait any longer.

Thank goodness for thigh high socks to cheat spring outfits before spring weather has arrived :)

Lastly, here is my attempt at the pink & green inspiration I posted previously:
