Chevron & Mint

There is something about a spring breeze and breaking out my shorts and sandals that makes me want to run to the nearest restaurant patio and order a Sea Breeze.  Now while I have to continue working with rambunctious little preschoolers and wait for happy hour to come, at least I have outfits like this one to fall back on.  I love the short SHORT amount of time in Memphis in the Spring before it gets too hot here and you can integrate your light winter tops with your summery items!  It makes the wardrobe seem a bit bigger for a few weeks.  Thennnnn it's 101 degrees with 100% humidity in the shade.

Hey, bartender? Yeah, make mine a double.

Springtime, is that you?

See that sunshine? It came after 2 days of freezing weather and snow flurries.  It was a welcome sight. I feel that springtime is very near, thus the bare legs.  Don't let me down now, March! Okay, now it's storytime:  My whole life (okay, maybe I am slightly exaggerating...) I have yearned for a perfect denim jacket.  I loved the layering aspect, the keep ya warm-but not too warm factor, and the way that they can carry over spring items in to pre-spring time!  In case you did not know, I am 6 feet tall... and with that height comes a six foot wingspan (and great hugs).  Finding sleeves long enough were always a problem, as well as fitting my broad-ish shoulders. Also, cropped on a tall person = under the boob area. WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?!  But alas, here we are.  It only took (almost) 25 years to track you down, but you are mine.  I think we will have a merry time, me and you.

Sneak peek:  I styled this ASOS animal print dress (below) THREE ways! I can't wait to share.  Hope you are having the best week ever! Spring break is so close, I can see it!
