Took my b&w checkered jacket out for one last spin before I officially retire it for the season. (Well, here’s hoping…snow: please melt!) Felt that it needed a bit of dressing up so I paired the jacket with a vintage fuschia skirt and opera gloves for a classy, yet winterized, Audrey Hepburn look.
Have a beautiful day!

I have never improvised an outfit before. Typically I plan the whole thing out and then throw it on in the hopes that everything will work. This look was completely the opposite. Having no idea what I was going to wear and being pressed for time I tried something new…literally grabbed random pieces not focusing on the entire look. Hence the result was that I settled on pieces I would never otherwise mix together. For instance a wool mini skirt, a tee with a cute little pink bunny on it (which I randomly picked up while staying in Buckhead) and my Wilma Flintstone pearls with Converse sneakers. I have to admit, the whole process was out of character for me yet quite liberating. While I was genuinely pleased with the random results I would love to know what’s your routine?
I’ve been feeling the Spring vibes lately and find myself being drawn to pleated minis with accent hosiery. The snow, however, is not co-operating and hasn’t let up one bit, hence my winter blues. But I have found a way to circumvent the cold somewhat by wearing everything short with over the knee boots. While I love the classic black and white combo I layered on some cobalt blue to liven things up a bit. And here I am now looking back at these pictures and really missing the weekend…
Happy Monday!
