Hint of Spring #FashionFriday

March may have started with a couple pretty nasty snowstorms, but now spring is officially in the air and hopefully here to stay.

Mom and I headed to the mall the other day, and it was just beautiful out.  Sunny.  Seventy.  A warm breeze.  Seriously what my weather dreams are made of.

And since it was so warm, I couldn’t wait to break out a pretty dress and some sandals!  Can you blame me?

Hint of Spring #FashionFriday

If you aren’t familiar with Somerset mall in Michigan, you’re probably wondering where some of the pictures were taken.  They have a skywalk over a road connecting two parts of the mall.  It’s actually really cool and a great way to visit a lot of stores!

Confession: I didn’t love this dress when I first bought it.  I thought I did, but then I thought it made me look matronly.  It was pricey, so I needed to figure out a way to wear it and love it.  I found that leaving one more button in the top unbuttoned made it fresher and more youthful.

Though you made not be able to tell in the photos, the dress has a subtle purple pattern to it, so I love to pair it with purple shoes.

Then I added my new favorite Prada bag because it holds EVERYTHING and because it’s always a good day when I can channel Olivia Pope.

What are you excited to start wearing now that the weather is getting nicer?

Dress: Carolina Herrera // Shoes: Christian Louboutin // Handbag: Prada

    You look lovely and the dress definitely does not make you look matronly! Killer outfit. I just bought a new black dress with gold studs all over it so I am excited to wear it but will save it for the next trip down to the Dominican (it’s sleeveless).

      Thanks, Debbie! Your new dress sounds awesome. I can’t wait to see it. And before long you’ll be able to wear it even at home – the weather is getting so nice!

I'm a huge fan of both of them after watching Breaking Bad, and I love Dos Hombres mezcal 🍹  They are super nice guys and took their time chatting and taking photos with everyone there. I'm so thrilled I got to attend this event and that it was at the Waldorf, one of my favorite places 🌴💚 The signed and engraved bottle is a fabulous keepsake from an unforgettable evening ✨️
