Also, you guys, do we remember this skirt being this short? Because without tights it is really short.

Rainy Days
Here’s a fun fact. The building behind me is the tomb of Ulysses S. Grant, American Civil War General and 18th President of the United States. Who’da thunk ole Grant would be buried in a gigantic tomb in Harlem? Well he was, and the building is very beautiful. I highly recommend that you visit it if you are ever in town.
In other news, it was raining during these photos so my hair isn’t looking it’s best. Sorry, not sorry.

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
I feel like flower crowns are having a bit of a moment. I have seen them crop up on some of my favorite e-retailers, and I’ve spotted a few girls wearing them on the street. Flower crowns are undeniably fun, so I was so thrilled when Monique Martin of Harvested by Monique offered to make me one of her custom flower crowns. Monique only makes custom flower crowns which is great because you get exactly what you want. Wanna know the best part? Most of her crowns are under $20. This is a no brainer. Get yoself one! Email Monique at: harvestedby@gmail.com.

The animal print saga
I have a love-hate relationship with animal prints. Sometimes I love them, but other times I think they are basically the worst. This usually makes for fun “blog self-reflection days” which happen when I look back on my blog to see what I can get away with re-wearing. Sometimes, if an animal print outfit catches me on the wrong day, I will be all like, “ewww what is that outfit?! I look like a polyester cat” (because animal print stuff is almost always made from polyester). Then I am all like, I am never wearing that top/skirt/shoes/belt/bracelet/etc. again!
But by the time I make it to my closet to dispose of the offending item, I like animal print again. Thus the cycle repeats.
Good story, right?

Thanks, Critter Sweaters
Dear Critter Sweaters,
Thank you. You have carried me through Fall and Winter beautifully (and fashionably). But the weather is getting warmer and now I must retire you for the season. But don’t fret, I will hang you on cedar hangers and bring you back out again in November.
Okay, see you soon, critter sweater friends!
Love,
Clare

Color Your Life
I just want to start by saying that no camera can truly do this skirt justice. It is like a bright, crazy, neon color explosion. It is a quintessential Lilly Pulitzer (RIP) piece and I am so excited to own it and wear it all this Summer/Spring.
May I also say that this was my first “stockings-free” day on the blog? Though, I think it might have been a bit premature. It actually wasn’t warm enough to go sans tights and Lilly Pulitzer is an anomaly in Harlem so I was basically freezing and everyone was staring at my crazy skirt. Despite all this, I think my legs were excited about seeing the light of day, even if they did feel like popsicles by the time I got home.
Yes, I’m wearing chambray again. Sorry I’m not sorry.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Spring Time
Flowers are blooming, bees are buzzing. Could it be?? Has Spring finally sprung? It sort of looks like it, though at times it doesn’t feel like it. At this point, though, anything is progress. This weather has been brutal.

A PSA
Ladies, we are embarking upon warm weather season. Let us not forget to wear pants. I know you want to look cute. I want you to look cute, too — but you should wear pants. It is important to wear pants at all times because you are a classy, fabulous woman and proper bottom-half attire is a requirement.
Leggings might be comfortable, you might also wear them to the gym — but you shouldn’t really wear them anywhere else. Ever. Real pants should always win. Always.
Here are some tips to ensure you are wearing pants at all times.
