spring outfit- florals and stripes

Dress: ASOS. (on sale, also similar here and here) Trench coat: Boden. (similar here and here.) Bag: Michael Kors. (similar here and here.) Shoes: Enzo Angiolini. (similar here and here.)  Necklace: JCrew. (similar here and here.) Belt: Vintage. (similar.)

I feel bad even writing this, because I know half the country is freezing to death and slogging through snow right now, but we’ve had the mildest, warmest winter ever this year.  In fact, I feel silly even calling it winter, I think it’s safe to say that spring has arrived.  (watch it’ll be cold and rainy for the next month just because I wrote that.)

Anyway, when spring comes around all I want to do is wear all the pretty dresses all the time.  This one had me at hello, I love florals and this orangey-red poppy color is kind of my color this year, so of course I couldn’t resist.  It didn’t hurt that it’s on sale too… I love shopping ASOS because they not only have really great stuff, but their sizing typically runs small so it’s a lot easier for me to find pieces that actually fit.  Petites aren’t “supposed” to wear midi-dresses but I never follow those arbitrary rules anyway.  If I did, all the fun stuff would be ruled out.  I say, If you love it, it fits and it makes you feel great, then go for it!

How do you break fashion rules??

      I go back and forth, sometimes I’m like, I wish we could just have a snow day! Hahaha. And then I’m like “sunshine, glorious sunshine!”

  6. Love how bold your pattern mixing is! Also, your hair – always on point even with 4 kiddos in tow! How do you do it? Do you ever sleep?;-)

      Thanks Anna! I don’t sleep as much as I’d like to! But dry shampoo has been a lifesaver. ;-)
