Whenever I’m stumped on what to wear in the morning, I rely on a New York City classic: head-to-toe black.  You really can’t go wrong.  But to keep things from being too somber, I decided to mix textures (silk and tweed), slap on some bright red lipstick, and throw on a pair of kooky polka dot socks. Add dark sunglasses, and VOILA!  Wardrobe crisis averted!

{H&M Tank, Skirt and Scarf, Vince Camuto Ankle Boots}

I fell in love with this skirt when I saw it in the store a while back, but I had a lot of trouble styling it.  The first time I wore it, I paired it with a navy blue tee.  Let’s just say that the resulting outfit was lackluster at best.  So as you can imagine, I was over the moon when I recently spotted this matching scarf tucked away in a bin under one of the display tables.  Talk about a match made in heaven!

Even though it looks like Punxsutawney Phil has pulled a fast one on me this year, I’ve been easing more and more of my spring-y pieces into my wardrobe by relying on all manner of tights, blazers, and cardigans.  So far, so good… but I’m still longing for the days of sandals, and dare I say, no jacket at all!  A girl can dream, can’t she?

One thing I am happy about: For the past few weeks, the sun has still been out when I get off work!  There’s nothing more depressing than spending an entire day in the office, only to have it be pitch black when you leave for the day.
