Spring in New York

Share

Spring in New York is the unicorn season.  There are a few precious, glorious days peppered in between freezing temperatures and the brutal heat and sweat of summer where the stars align and everyone in the city seems a little happier.  

With spring in the air, take full advantage with an amazing outfit!  I always find season transitions hard to plan for.  Some tips:  1) Layers!  It may be 40s during the morning commute but 70s by the time you leave your office for lunch.  2) Hold off on the mini skirts with no tights for just a little longer.  It's not THAT warm, plus your legs need a good shaving and some sunlight before showing them off. 3) Find some season-agnostic, transitional pieces that work for both chilly morning and warmer midday temperatures.  No need to unpack all of the summer rompers and halter tops just yet.

Here are a couple spring outfits from my closet.  

This Thursday was one of those amazing New York spring days--high of 72 and gloriously sunny!  Here's how I took full advantage:

Comfy, one-piece outfits and Birks. My summer work-from-home uniform ☀️ I’ve done lots of cozy jumpsuit research and the @everlane luxe cotton jumpsuit is one of my favorites. Comes in six colors and under $70! The black-on-black leather Arizon
Hello 👋 checking in to say hi—I hope everyone is doing ok. I took a break from posting outfit inspo because there are much more important issues that should be taking up your feed right now. Keep listening, keep actioning, keep loving. I&rsquo
With so much uncertainty, it’s time to focus on really smart purchases. There’s nothing more reasonable than a dress that works for every season, and I’ve got the one! I styled my slip dress four different ways, one for each season.
If I was going to the office today, this is what I’d wear. Instead, I’m in my #wfh sweats perched in front on another Zoom meeting 🙃
Jax and I are settling into our new normal. For him it’s a whole lot more cuddles and longer walks. For me it’s a new way to wear a neckerchief, among manyyy other things.
