A Little Flounce Never Hurt Anybody...

Dress: LOFT; Blazer: Zara; Bag: Michael Kors; Sandals: Dolce Vita; Sunnies: Chloe

There's a couple things I love about this dress. The color block (and I thought I was over color block!), the drop waist 1920s feel, and the overall cuteness of it. I mean, anything with a little flounce puts a little extra pep in my step. Does it do that to you? In retrospect, it probably would have looked much better with heels. But truth be told, I like to limit long days at the office in heels to one day a week. And today just wasn't that day. 

Even though I was loving that today was a bit on the summery side, I would be lying if I said I wasn't excited to pair this with opaque tights and booties in a few short weeks.

Old Stomping Grounds

Dress: VS (on sale HERE); Faux Leather Jacket: LIT Boutique; Sandals: Dolce Vita; Bag: Gucci; Necklace: Boutique; Bangles: H&M

When I moved to Boston about five and a half years ago, I lived in the charming little neighborhood of Beacon Hill. I met a girlfriend there for brunch on Sunday and even though the weather was far from nice, it didn't stop me from wandering the streets of my old stomping grounds. It's a bit overwhelming to think of all the fun I've had since I first moved here and all the great people I've met. And how many more I've yet to meet. 

Thank you Lex Marciano for the great pictures! J might have some competition from now on :)

Socks

I've long been dying to wear socks with my heels, booties, loafers, etc... buuut I've never been sure if it looks really good on me or absolutely ridiculous. I'm kind of on the fence. My office environment is pretty conservative so a look like this wouldn't fly but maybe I could swap the blouse out for something a bit more casual and wear it for a night out with friends? Or try it with simple pumps and cute patterned socks? Hmm. I think I see a future "How To" blog post coming out of this...

Blouse: Madewell; Skirt: Anthropologie; Booties: DV Dolce Vita; Socks: AE

Necklace: Stella & Dot Spring Collection

What do you think about this look? How would you wear socks with your shoes?

On another note, we made it through another week! Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. Isn't there some big football game on Sunday? Ha. The only thing I care about when it comes to Superbowl Sunday is the yummy food! Bring on the stretchy pants!

Weekend Stroll

This past weekend was spent lunching, brunching & furniture shopping. We went up to one of our favorite spots outside of Boston -- Admiral's Hill -- also hopefully the site of our future apartment (just putting it out there, universe!) The weather was perfect for a nice stroll along the water. Can't believe I was able to leave my sleeping bag coat at home in January!

Blazer: H&M (last spring); Tank: Gap; Scarf: J.Crew (similar); Jeans: William Rast;

Booties: Wyatt DV Dolce Vita (on sale!); Bag: Rebecca Minkoff

I love the look of the nautical-inspired blazer paired with the neon scarf. I'm so into this trend right now. And I can now cross the neon Old Navy Messenger bag off my wish list. Yay! I'm sure you'll be seeing it in an outfit post very soon.
