Maybe it was the warm air but something about having to dress without so many layers wanted me to keep everything really simple all week. Here is what I wore to the Clothing Swap the night I arrived in Austin. I had been traveling ALL day and I was not feeling like dressing up very much. I kept it simple and comfortable with this pretty floral dress and some really comfy but cute wedges.
I am so sick of wearing layer after layer. I know by fall I will be saying I can’t wait to wear tights again but for now I would like to be done with winter clothes.
Do you have a must have item for spring?

I LOVE THOSE WEDGES!! Have you seen the Dolce Vita shoes at Target yet? I’m not 100% about them yet…

Very cute. I love so many modcloth dresses, but don’t feel comfortable in things so short…especially if they are flip-able! I wish I could increase my comfort level (though still couldn’t so something this short at work.) Any tips on bravery?

All of your outfits from Texas have just been so wonderful. You rock a dress like no other mama I know! Can’t WAIT for bare legs and floral dresses. It snowed again this morning in Montreal, where I’m at. At least I’ve got these lovely posts to remind me that spring is out there somewhere!

This is so cute! I really love those wedges! And yes, I am also longing for the simplicity of summer dressing… it’s so funny to think of super hot humid days last summer when it felt too hot to even wear a necklace when we’ve spent the last few months piling on as many layers as we possibly can! You look perfectly spring like here, I’m loving it!

i’m a longtime reader, but infrequent commenter (because i know you must get swamped with all the comments you get, and i always feel like my comments won’t get noticed anyway. i’m insecure, obviously). wow, that was quite the ellipses rant! anyway, i love your dress! and those shoes! i think i have to go back to target and grab them now. you make everything look so insanely cute. your style is amazing. hope austin was fantastic!

i am just wondering how you wear dresses that short and have no issue bending over and not showing everyone your behind?
i ask because i am having this problem and looking for a solution.

LOVE this dress. The cap sleeves are to die for ,and the color scheme is perfect. I’m not sure what my must have for spring is yet… I recently cleaned out most of my dresses because I have gained some weight and the weight on top of my height made the dresses unflattering. I might invest in some cropped white skinny jeans this year! I think that could be crisp and fun.

Cute dress Jen- I’m also loving those wedges!
My list of must-haves for spring is ever growing- I’m wanting a pair of espadrilles, a maxi dress, and wide leg jeans!
Oh, how I wish is was warm enough in New Brunswick to go sans tights but alas it’s still a bit chilly here!
