We were finally graced with a few hours of sunshine over the weekend, so I jumped at the chance to don a breezy linen dress, stunner shades, and cute little sandals.  Unfortunately, the sky opened up soon thereafter and dumped buckets of water on us, but at least it was fun while it lasted.

Cheers to the soggiest spring I’ve ever experienced!

UPDATE:
It’s 80 degrees and sunny today!

Apologies for the skimpy posting as of late. I’ve been battling some serious allergies, and call me vain if you will, but I decided against posting pictures of myself with puffy eyes and a red nose. Between Zyrtec and my trusty Neti-Pot, I think I’ve finally gotten things under control. You’ll be seeing more of me as the pollen count dwindles… I promise!

I originally purchased this dress to wear during my flight to Madrid.  Maxi dresses are soooooo comfortable to travel in.  It’s almost like wearing a long comfy night gown… minus the weird stares from the flight crew and other passengers.

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.
