It’s beginning to look a lot like Spring Time

spring styleFlowers 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

leggings are not pantsLadies, 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.

What kinda shoes do you wear with a maxi skirt?

pink maxiI enjoy a maxi skirt as much as the next girl. However, when it’s not outright sandal weather, I have no idea what kind of shoes to wear with them. I am tall, so heels really aren’t an option. Maxi skirts are already “on the edge” of being too short on me anyway. Plus, I feel like a light, airy skirt deserves to be paired with a light, airy shoes.

I haven’t cracked the code on what non-sandal kicks to wear with my maxis yet. So I’ll just wear awkward, mismatched flats for now. I don’t care, I love it.

Keeping it casual on Wall Street

black top, blue jeansI found myself way far away from my neighborhood this past week. In these very pictures I am standing in the heart of the financial district. So, despite my casual attire, I was basically surrounded by riches. Yay, accidental tourist! And yes, traveling from Harlem to Wall Street does count as legitimate travel.

Also, I just had  to include the photo below because it looks like I am confidently strutting into New York Sports Club — but we all know that’s a laugh.

Puttin’ on my red dress

fedora and red dressI don’t think I have owned a red dress since I was little. It can be a hard color to wear. Whenever I see a red dress, I automatically think holiday party. So I was worried that, since I bought this dress in March, people would think I had my seasons all botched. But I spotted this dress on Asos for about $30 and decided to give red a whirl! Well, I am glad I did! I really like this dress and I plan to wear it all Spring/Summer.
