Jean jackets and floral dresses
You guys, dare I say it? Yes. I dare. SPRING IS HERE!
Given, it’s still unpleasantly cold (say, upper 40’s and damp;t he dampness makes it unpleasant) in the morning, but it has been full-on sunny and sixty in the afternoon, and I love it! It’s making me long for summer already, though. Is that bad?
I got this jean jacket the other day after seeing a few different lovely bloggers sporting jean jackets, and I’m so glad I did! I don’t even know how to describe what my spring style is going towards– floral, maybe more modern, with lots of tied-up shirts and high-waisted skirts. It’s definitely changing, but in a good way. I think every time I tried to be super vintage or super modern, it just didn’t click. I love the vintage style, but it’s not quite all me, and I love modern style as well, but again… not me. This, though, is somewhere in the middle that just feels right.
It actually got so warm taking pictures in the shaded sunlight that I had to take off my jacket. This was totally not a gimmick for the camera (okay, maybe it was. A little.)
How is the weather where you all live? I’ve heard some people are still getting blizzards, which at this point doesn’t sound fun. I wanted snow for the longest time, but now that it’s finally getting warmer, snow can stay away. I want summer, and hiking, and camping, and state fairs, and Farmer’s Markets, and all of those things that just aren’t that great in the winter.
This anklet is actually a bracelet, I think. But it was too big for my wrists, so I decided to put it elsewhere. I’m not usually an anklet type of person, but I think this is delicate and unique enough that I’ll wear it often. And I can always wear it as a bracelet, carefully. It’s adjustable, but I must have small wrists because even on the smallest link, I can slide it over my hand. Oh, well!

Forever 21: Ring, anklet

I hope you all have a beautiful Wednesday! I’m super excited that it’s almost the weekend! (My weekend, anyway, since I have Fridays off…)

I feel like my style is changing too and I’m not *quite* sure where it’s going haha. But I LOVE your look here- I’ve been hunting for the perfect jean jacket for I don’t know how long. And I’m still (im)patiently waiting for Spring to hit Chicago, grr.

Don’t you hate it when you know you want to change your style, but you don’t really know what to? I went through that phase. I still don’t quite know what to call my style. Never have!
Good luck finding the perfect jean jacket! They’re hard to find.

That dress + those shoes = perfection!

Thank you!

That dress is so pretty! I will never not look like an extra in a 90’s teen movie when I put on a jean jacket, but this one goes so well with the rest of your look.

I love this dress; I bought it in an emergency to wear to a summer outdoor wedding, and I’m so glad I did! Hah, and I know exactly what you mean! IT’s really hard to find a jean jacket that doesn’t look like it’s from the nineties. Even modern ones!

Thank you! I don’t wear this ring enough. I keep forgetting I have it. 🙂

That dress is darling. I feel the same way about my style, some days I can be full vintage 50s glamour, but others I can run around in jeans and a tshirt and be totally fine (which wasn’t the case a few years ago!) I think it’s ok to mix it up sometimes, change is good 🙂

Such a perfect spring outfit! You can’t go wrong with a floral dress and a jean jacket. This jacket is classic and wonderful. Makes me wish I had one like it!
Your weather sounds pretty great to me. I always hope for it to stay cool as long as possible because Georgia summers are crap. So humid and hot all the time and it lasts well into fall. Ughh. I dread it. I seriously can’t even go outside sometimes it’s so hot. Summers up north are just way better!
