This is all I have to say: I shouldn’t be allowed to wear white. Within the first five minutes of wearing this shirt for the first time, I managed to get coffee on my shoulder. Even taking my clumsiness into consideration, I’m dumbfounded. Don’t worry, the shirt survived!

A big, cozy sweater paired with soft, comfy leggings from We Love Colors made for the perfect laidback Saturday look. As for the head wrap, Erin of calivintage was the inspiration.

Despite decidedly non-springy weather, I really wanted to style an outfit based on light neutrals today. I started with my high-waist trousers, added a plain white tee and layered on a short-sleeved ruffled cardigan. I kept accessories simple with nude pumps and a silver necklace. I really like the result: a soft, understated look for a day at the office.

I came this close to giving up on my local Goodwill. The selection had been so poor for so long, that I went from checking in at least once a week to not going at all. On a whim, I decided to try my luck once again last weekend. Though I didn’t find much, I did score this high-waisted leather mini that fits like a glove. It would have been great to have three months ago, but I’ll take it!

I was thrilled to score these high-waisted, wide-leg trousers at a clothing trade a few months back, but I’ve had trouble wearing them. While they fit pretty well, they only work with flats, and I don’t have many dressy pairs. The pattern mixing (stripes, polka dots and leopard), happened by accident. I feel like all three prints are kind of neutral, and the colors worked together easily.

After weeks of perpetual snow-covered ground, it slowly started to melt away over the weekend. While the winter wonderland was fun and beautiful at times, it’s nice to see patches of grass and mud again, to leave the house without covering every bit of skin. I wore this grungy get-up while bumming around downtown on Saturday.
