Show Your Stripes

Spring 2017 style trends, how to wear stripes, how to wear ankle boots, in Mavi skinny jeans, Express fedora hat, White Warren cashmere sweater, Mackage leather jacket styled by To Vogue or BustHappy Tuesday! I had the most lovely weekend and start to the week yesterday, which you may have seen on my Insta Story—seeing my friends, spending time with Matt, getting prepped for the week, relaxing in the sunshine, eating good food, going for nice walks, snapping pics, etc. It was the first weekend this whole month that truly felt like spring was coming, complete with the buds finally starting to show on the trees and the crocuses piercing through the ground. While today’s a bit more rainy, between the weekend and yesterday’s sunny weather, I just got so excited for spring to come full-force, and with it of course the fashion that has had to wait patiently in my closet until now.

I’m easing myself in with classic black and white, but rather than going for my usual subtle thin striped, I love this sweater in a thicker print by White + Warren, in luxe cashmere naturally, which the brand perfects.

I also like swapping out my black accessories for light brown or tan pieces, from my ankle boots to this buff fedora.
