In my mind, it’s Spring.
I know that I had said previously that I was going to brave the winter in order to take all my blog pics outside, but it’s -12 out and the Weather Channel tells me that it feels really like -26, so while I love all my readers, my love for not getting hypothermia is the winner this week.
And of course, as it gets colder and colder, my mind drifts off to a simpler time where I could leave the house without a mandatory 10 layers. A warmer time. Where flowers bloomed and hiking trails beckoned…sigh…Wherefore art thou, Spring?!
So once again in hopes that Spring will hear my frozen call, I’m wearing spring colors to help facilitate the warmth process. I love this outfit for a simple date night or dinner with the girls.
Happy Monday!
Much love,
Mel

Going outside with heels on, instead of boots, seemed so daring, so “throw all caution to the wind”. You can see that we didn’t go far for these pics. Why? Because I was insistent on wearing heels and there was just too much snow and ice around for me to go further without burying my feet in the snow. And somehow I suspect it would have been a completely different sensation than burying them in sand. 😉 So front stoop it was.
Although I’m a fan of all colors, there is something about the color mint that I just love. Just feels so bright, so optimistic. I think of warmer days and drinks on the patio, and Spring bursting onto the scene. These are a few of my favorite things.
Mint is just a great, natural pairing with blue, so I’ve paired my blouse with my blue coated jeans. Then added my gold/mint tassel necklace for an extra pop. Sometimes I like to contrast my accessories, other times match them. A woman’s prerogative. 😉
Much love,
Mel
