Lemon Zest

While I wouldn't say that yellow is necessarily a go-to color for me, every so often, when you find a yellow that works, it can be sort of perfect.  Between the bright color and and flowing cut of this skirt, it was pretty fun just walking around.  Especially on a beautiful spring day.

A casual, dark denim shirt was the perfect complement to the bright and ethereal skirt.

Who'd argue against pink shoes?  I mean, really?

Crisp

There is something so crisp and fresh about combining navy and white.  I'd wear all of these pieces pretty much any time of the year, but somehow this outfit and at this particular time of the year feels fresh and bright.  

Switching out lightweight jackets and sweaters for heavy layers is such a nice change.

The more I wear these boots, the better they get.  They've become one of my go-tos.

I recently took the plunge and cut off about six inches of my hair.  I was pretty nervous but it feels really good -- new season, new hair.  I'm ready for summer.

Corrugated Color

I love an outfit that mixes styles, color, pattern, and texture.  Perfect for a bike ride around Red Hook and impromptu stop at the Red Hook Winery for a tasting.  It happened to also work quite nicely against this colorful, corrugated metal wall.

Transitions

I don't know about you, but I am done with winter.  Since it is not yet quite warm enough for light weight jackets, I've been layering up.  I always find transitions between seasons the hardest.  If it's spring, I'm ready for warm weather before it's actually warm and in the fall I'm ready for jackets before it's quite cool enough for it.  I won't have to layer much longer, I can tell by the flowering trees that spring is about to spring in NYC.

Last Ray

I was able to catch the last (very) few rays of sun after work.  It's been really nice to have daylight later in the evening, and lately I've been seeing flowers and trees just about to bloom.  It won't be much longer now before I can loose the hat and tights.  I'm looking forward to it!

Stooped

St. Patrick's Day fell on a Sunday this year -- which means I sort of forgot about any sort of celebration.  But I was pleasantly surprised when as I walked out of the apartment I noticed I was wearing quite a bit of green without even realizing it (I had a green shirt on under my coat as well)! Unfortunately I spent the rest of the day doing less than celebratory things (work and chores and other Sunday sort of things) -- but at least I was wearing green!

Welcome back, Spring!  I'm ready for you to warm up the weather anytime.

Double Time

This weekend it finally felt like we took a turn towards Spring.  It felt great to get outside and take advantage of the sunny and semi-warm temperatures.

I tried out a new skirt (a recent sample sale score), a bit of stretch weather-wise with two rather serious slits.  But pairing it with tights allowed me to break it out for a sunny afternoon.

While the weather still required multiple layers (read heavy scarf), I took advantage of non-bitter temps to break out one of my favorite leather jackets.

A splash of bright blue brightened up the neutral ensemble.

I look forward to swapping out tights and boots for sandals and breezy tanks in the warmer months.
