I’ve said it before – but sometimes the most simple outfits turn out to be my favorite. The first day we arrived in Miami I quickly threw on this off the shoulder top, perforated midi skirt, heeled sandals and metallic clutch and we ran out the door to explore our neighborhood and hit up happy hour.
When it comes to a warm weather vacation, nearly every hour could be considered happy hour. And Miami had no shortage of places to enjoy a cocktail. On our last day, we explored the Port of Miami and I changed into these neutral suede sandals (super comfortable!) and a scallop print tunic dress to enjoy one last happy hour drink and you know, pretended I own that yacht (dubbed ‘Grand Luxe’) in the backdrop.
I’m back in New York as of yesterday after a whirlwind trip to Miami and am literally bursting to share photos, outfits and must see spots from our travels. It was Adam and I’s first time visiting Miami and the city turned out to be sensory overload in the best possible way. Around every corner was some new explosion of color and flavor of local life. Naturally, I did my best to dress for the occasion.
It’s no secret at this point – I’m really craving Spring. But if I’m going to justify a new purchase at this point, it needs to feel like it can work for right now as well as 3 months from now when the temperatures are safely in the Seventies. Here – my top picks for pieces that will take you seamlessly from Winter to Spring:
The Pink Ankle Boot: Sneakers, Flats, and now even pink ankle boots. Subtle enough to match with nearly everything in your wardrobe, but bold enough to put a little Spring in your step – I’m making a serious case for blush pink shoes this season. These go great with a beat up pair of boyfriend jeans, but they’d be just as cool with a floral dress, bare legs and oversized sunglasses once the weather warms.
The Printed Tunic: A definite Spring staple, if you want to pick this up early (and since it’s 20% off right now you probably should), you can layer it with a turtleneck sweater and denim jacket. Then later, shed layers and accessorize with heeled suede sandals and a long pendant necklace.
The thing about snow in New York City is that on the first day or two it looks like this winter wonderland – and by the second or third day it’s all knee deep piles of slush at street crossings and piles of trash bags thawing out from under heaps of white. Which is to say – it’s lost a bit of magic. But we’re New Yorkers.. so we trudge on.
