Bye Bye Blanket Scarf, Plus My Attempt at Pulling Off Hats....

Vegas weather can be a little bipolar. But I think it's safe to say though that winter here in the desert is officially over. After some mild temps, then a random snow day (what?), we're back in the 70s, and this time it feels like spring has sprung. Which to me means bright colors, florals, and no more coats! I will miss my trusty blanket scarf though. It's been a good friend during the colder months, and it's a little sad to say goodbye. I wore this baby everywhere and with everything. These are just a few of my favorite looks. Also, I tried pulling off the hat thing, which is TOTALLY out of my comfort zone,  and I'm not loving it on me. So disappointing. Looks adorable on everyone else though!

Dreaming in Spring Pastels

I love where I live. I've been seeing everyone all over the country posting pictures and status updates of the snow and ice, and not envying them the slightest bit. This is what my car said yesterday:

Granted, it was probably more like 78 or 79 degrees outside. It was a teensy bit warmer in the car. But this weather in the middle of February? I'll take it! I hate to rub it in to all of you shivering in your scarves and mittens out there, but I'm loving this Vegas weather! If it makes you feel any better, in a few short months when it's 120 here and I'm hibernating in a dark, air conditioned house, you may gloat all you want. But for now, my mind is on spring, so I thought I'd share with you one of my favorite wearable trends for the coming season: Pastels!

I love my pastels! This is a no brainer for spring. My favorites are mint green, baby blue, and of course pink. The great thing about this trend is that you can incorporate it into your wardrobe so easily. It works in a great pair of skinnies, a cute blouse, dress, or accessory. Anything goes! Because I tend to lean towards neutrals, I usually like to use color in a statement necklace, handbag, or scarf, but I do love a pastel skinny jean! Here are some of cute pieces in fun spring pastels.
