spring favorites

ah, spring. even though i still have to wear a jacket and closed toe shoes in dc because i'm chilly, i'm fantasizing about warmer weather. one of my favorite things about spring is breaking out of those warm, bulky clothes and busting out lighter and fewer clothes. here are some things i'm dying for this spring.

1. floral prints: love the look of little flowers on fabric, particularly this first skirt. it reminds me a little of when i was in middle school, as there were tons of floral prints at that time. i had a pretty sweet skirt and vest combo back then. ahhhh, the early 90s.

2. coral and mint: hooray for people getting creative with colors!! i'm not a big pink girl and i feel like people love pink in the spring. coral is one of my favorite colors to wear ever (actually, i love oranges in general) and i'm so happy it's coming out this spring. mint is another color that hasn't gotten the love as much until now and i have to say i think it's a nice spin on pastels.



3. gingham: yay country-chic! gingham reminds me of picnics and lemonade. speaking of, i need both of those things.

4. lace: gah, i love some lace. it's so lady-like but kind of naughty since you can see through it. i just got a sweet lace top at forever 21 (don't judge- that place is awesome for trends and when you're broke) and i'm so pumped to bust it out.

5. colored denim: this has been happening all this fall and winter, but i really like the bright colors that people have now. i mean, even target jumped on this train!!!

Old Navy has some awesome orange thong sandals for $20! I'm going to pick some up. I also just bought some turquoise maternity jean/pants that I'll be rocking when you're down here!!
