Swing Dress in Spring
It's so sunny in my office in the mornings I could wear sunglasses while working and leaving the lights off! Or catch a tan. It works it's way out of the blinding corners of my monitor as the morning goes on, but I definitely feel the warmth. So of course, I wore black. But the swing dress in spring has some color from my kelly green boyfriend cardigan and a bright yellow neon skinny belt from the Gap. I will try to get more creative and not rely solely on flats this spring (pun!) and might even add a few more colors of brogues to my shoe collection. This dress is so baggy, it cannot be worn without a cinched waist without looking very tent-like. I accessorized with all silver chunky shapes but my favorite is the spiked necklace- it's not a huge statement piece, but it's got just a rockstar touch to it.

Vera Chiffon
My orange Gerber daisies are blooming out of control and even though I'm all allergy sniffles in the spring; I LOVE it! They add some non-boring color and liveliness to my office. I have a Vera by Vera Wang chiffon and cotton top today in a very light mint color just breezy enough for a sunny spring day. My top half is light and pale and the bottom half with my violet skirt and black tights with black flats is all dark. I kind of dig the look though; it's very me. Though a good friend said my look is very "Librarian Chic" I wasn't sure if it was a compliment or not; I like it now. My super-many-years-old off-white American Eagle cable knit cardi has become such a staple I wish I would have bought two! Back to my beverages and spreadsheets now.
