I was feeling spring-y though it wasn’t quite warm enough on Saturday. Tights and button-down to the rescue! Dressing temperature appropriately at this time of year is generally not my forté, as I tend to start shedding layers at the first sight of spring flowers. Don’t expect this rare bout of practicality fool you, though. Later that evening, I found myself completely unprepared for the temperature drop. Oops.

Oh wow, this dress is amazing! And it's a fun combo with those patterned tights. I still haven't been able to figure out how to wear the white patterned tights that I have, but you always wear yours so well 🙂

OMG, those tights, I die! If there's one person who can pull them off, it's you lady.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

I am in love with this look. The patterns play off so well against each other and the shirt and tights make it so very feminine prep. Just gorgeous.

Such a beautiful pattern for spring! I always do this when it's not quite warm enough for a dress by itself.
