Don’t ask me why I have such a mean mug in the second-to-last shot, because I couldn’t have been happier to sport bare legs and open-toed shoes.  Spring has officially arrived!  Yeah, yeah, I know it isn’t technically until Wednesday… but I’m claiming it NOW!  Winter coats, snow boots, mittens, and thick scarves have been banished from sight.  And in their place, I’ve stocked my closet with trench coats, colorful heels, and pretty dresses.

I’m a dress and heels kinda gal, but if I have to wear pants… they might as well be pink and lacy!  Summer was just about winding down the last time I wore these trousers, but I also think they’re perfect for spring.  And as if these pants weren’t all ready precious enough, they also sport little zips at the ankle?!

Sequins can sometimes give me pause (unless I’m on stage with my two backup singers), but I love the way they add texture and visual interest to this anything-but-basic white top.   I’m a sucker for classic pieces with a little twist that makes them feel fresh and unique.  Take this trench coat for example, the crisp pleats in back take it up a notch and turn it into something special.

Closet Confection: Smart Casual?

Is it weird that I feel more comfortable in a dress and heels than I do in jeans and flats?  Tell me I have an important meeting or a fancy dinner party to attend, and I have no problems throwing a cute outfit together in a snap.  Unfortunately, when it’s time to go super casual my mind somehow manages to draw a blank.  It’s the strangest thing.
