Happy Monday everyone and I hope you all had a great holiday weekend (I sure did…movies, naps and a relaxing bath = heaven)! I still have a few outfits to share with some snowy backdrops because Long Island apparently takes forever to have snow melt, but they can all be worn well into spring, like this little number with my white lace trim sweater that I am currently obsessed with!
The weather in New York has definitely thrown me off. One day it’s warm, the next day there are blustering winds and of course tons of snow and rain…everyday I don’t know what to expect, but at least a lot of the pieces I have in my closet can be worn for any type of weather (although I am dying to wear my summer wear again! :p) Today I am actually shooting in NYC and I can’t wait to finally be able to wear some real ‘spring’ outfits (it’s going to be in the 50s today! Finally!)
Speaking of white…you know what is covered in white? Long Island! Because once again it is snowing…#SoOverThisWeather. I am beginning to feel like winter will be lasting a lot longer than I would like so naturally I decided to begin dressing ‘springy‘ hopefully to give mother nature a little *hint hint* to warm up already! (If not I will have to warm up on my upcoming trip to LA that I just booked yesterday! I can’t wait for some sunshine and a nice tan!) Anyways…like I’ve mentioned before, the only thing I do like about all this snow is that it makes for a pretty backdrop…if only it wasn’t such a menace the rest of the time :p While this look isn’t the most practical outfit for this weather, I kinda don’t care because I miss being able to bare my legs and wear skater skirts! (I can’t stand wearing stockings or tights).
I love the neutral colors in this outfit…browns and whites have been my go to shades for winter. Although it’s a faux paux to wear white in winter…let alone a white faux leather skirt, I dared to anyway…and I am pretty content with the result 😉 pair it with a chic sweater and a cute scarf and a primarily spring/summer pieces is turned into a winter essential.
My accessories I kept simple…although I am not wearing them in the photos I recently got these yellow aviators and love them (they will definitely be packed for my upcoming California {post from last year’s visit} trip!). You can never go wrong with neutralhues when it comes to shoes and bags because they can easily be transitioned from season to season and can be worn with any look. These taupe suede booties (which are on sale from ShopBop btw – Use code BigEvent15 for discount) can be worn all year long and can be styled in multiple ways! My Coach cross body has been getting use no matter what the season since I purchased it a year ago (great investment!).
Hopefully today is the last of the snow because every time I go to take photos there is still slush and ice on the ground…not ideal to show off my new spring wear (insert monkey emoji covering it’s eyes haha)| Click To Shop + Share My Look |
