It’s starting to feel like summer in my neck of the woods, but it’s always freezing on the subway and in the office. That’s why I like to keep a cozy sweater or wrap on hand.  I received this one from Sammy Dress, and I’ve been wearing it nonstop.  It’s perfect for lounging around the house and snuggling up on the couch, and even better for keeping warm at my desk while the AC blasts overhead.  I picked up this watercolor print dress at a Zara clearance sale a few seasons ago, and I’ve worn it six ways ’til Sunday ever since.

I’ve sauntered into Joe Fresh on several occasions but always left empty-handed.  The colorful items in the display window always drew me in, but I never felt compelled enough to pull the trigger and make a purchase.  But that all changed the other day while I was doing a bit of window-shopping during my lunch break.  As luck would have it, they were having a major sale, and I snagged this pink and black striped confection for $19! It’s made from a substantial, crisp cotton that works great for the office as well the weekend.  Something tells me I’ll be rocking this baby all summer long.

And look at how cleverly I’ve hidden my bandaged knee (if you missed the story, you can check it out here) in these photos? Pretty sneaky, right?!

I’m away on spring break official business right now, but I wanted to share with you guys the outfit I wore on the first day of spring a few weeks ago.  I don’t think I’ve ever gotten complimented on my outfit by so many strangers before.  As you can tell from the photos, the city was still pretty much a sea of black and drab colors at the time.  I think folks were just really happy to see someone in color again.
