{$28 Kate Spade Dress, $7 Liberty of London Top, $20 Michael Kors Shoes, $10 Vintage Wrap Skirt}
So far, spring in NYC has been downright drab and dreary. So can you blame a girl for needing a little retail therapy? To combat the gloomy forecast, I set out on a thrifting mission to find bright colors and cheery prints. My efforts were richly rewarded, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my finds. Stay tuned for pics of how I style up my new wardrobe additions!

I picked up this amazing skirt at No Relation Vintage for just $8 a few months ago, and I was waiting for the perfect sunny spring day to wear it. This outfit pretty much put itself together. Since I wanted the skirt to be the focus, I just added a plain white t-shirt (although I think it would look equally smashing with a halter top once things really start to heat up), and the outfit pretty much required me to wear a pair of sky high platforms. I find that the right shoe is key to preventing below-knee length skirts from looking matronly.

I’m all about spring cleaning… however, my packrat tendencies have only been reinforced by today’s outfit. For years (3 to be exact), my husband has been insisting kindly suggesting that I get rid of this blazer. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve placed it in the “toss” pile, only to dig it out at the last second before it met it’s fate at either Beacon’s Closet or the local goodwill.
In any case, it looks like my reluctance has paid off because this jacket matches perfectly with my new frock and allows me to get a few wears even with the chill still in the air.
And how about you guys? Do you have any articles of clothing that others have “gently recommended” you get rid of but you just can’t seem to part with?
