Happy Wednesday, friends! I think we can all agree that these “spring” temperatures are not cutting it — we have gone from the 80s over the weekend to a freeze warning last night! Since spring has barely arrived in some parts of the country, it’s ironic that there are a ton of spring pieces already on sale! We might as well take advantage of these sales and stock our closets full of pretty spring and summer pieces. We will be able to wear them eventually!

cute summer dress outfit

While spring has arrived in many places, spring decided to take a break over the weekend here in D.C. Temperatures were in the 30s Sunday morning! However, I think most places are suffering from strange spring temperatures. Even in the south! I wore this fun, tropical-inspired spring dress is Austin this past weekend. It was hot and in the high 80s on Friday and made for the perfect brightly colored piece for the warm, spring temperatures. Maybe Texas can send us some of those temperatures!

The Top That I Own in Four Colors

by Rachel McCarthy

pink ruffle top nordstrom

Excuse me as I attempt to dress for the weather over here. One day I am wearing sweaters and the next it’s full out spring. However, I won’t complain because I am excited to wear spring pieces, even if it’s only once a week. If I had to pick a spring uniform to wear for casual days and even date nights, this would be it. I have raved about this top on countless occasions (most recently in yesterday’s post!) but I think I have found my favorite color yet. You know you have a problem when you own the same shirt in four different colors, but this pink ruffle top takes the cake when it comes to the best shade.
