Strides towards spring

Little by little, spring is creeping in. An exposed wrist here, a cotton sweater there, and these over the knee boots are proving to be the perfect transitional footwear.

Evenings are still quite chilly, so my leopard fur was the topper to my Monday Date Night look. (I swapped out black pants and flats to transition from work.) I love white and grey for spring, and the mixture of subtle textures and patterns offered plenty of visual interest to the otherwise neutral color pallet.

    Everything about this is perfect! I am wearing a similar sweater and skirt combo today - but I'm totally jealous of these boots! Also - still need a leopard coat in my life :)

    Love the white on white layers on top. When you find Spring, send her butt over here also. Thanks.

    Have a great weekend. Lydia!

    That bit of leopard is the perfect topper! And I course love the background to these shots.

    We need to talk about your ponytail. Seriously. I have dreams of ponytail perfection and you have achieved it here (while I'm still trying to sort out how not to get half of my hair caught in the elastic...!) Seriously. These are fabulous hair photos. And the outfit is just gorgeous, too. I am biased because it's white, grey and leopard which are all of my favourite things, but I think based on the fact that I'm currently wracking my brain trying to figure out how I can recreate this look TODAY, it still counts ;)

    What a gorgeous look. Sometimes transition looks are the hardest, but you definitely have nailed it. Your ponytail is fabulous.

    Yes to OTK being a great transition! We are sort of on the same page this week. I love this look on you. I have been wishing I had a flat pair too (not that I need one). Your gold bracelet is so unique and pretty too.

    That is such a cute skirt on you! It's a lovely neutral outfit, I like the white on white with the top and scarf. The leopard print coat is the perfect topper to your outfit too :)

    Hope you had a lovely evening!
