Time to Lighten Up, From My Fashion Scrapbook

The calendar page has flipped over to March, and over the past week the temperatures have been climbing. While it’s been snowing again today, it still feels like it’s time to lighten up… when it comes to fashion at least. With these warmer days, I am feeling the need to put away the wool skirts and sweaters, and pull out the light jackets and short sleeves. While it will actually be a while before the warm weather is here to stay, these images from my fashion scrapbook are getting me in the mood…

a white long dress with lace insets

I love the lace insets in this dress!

floral bouquets and floral prints

The sleeve on the left, above, is lovely. And it’s time to start adding in floral prints and lighter weight fabrics, even if they are still paired with jackets.

floral dresses in a retro style

I always love a good pair of sunglasses, especially when they perfectly coordinate with the outfit.

If any brand epitomized “Spring”, it would have to be kate spade, with all their cheerful colours.

Finally this lovely soft pink chiffon dress covered in ruffles, perfectly encapsulates the feeling of Spring.

Which image is your favourite? Are you feeling the itch to start pulling out your Spring wardrobe and put away the Winter items?
