Deep Blue

I love this dress. This Theory dress is made of the softest blue suede ever. You might have noticed it last month in my budget recap and I've been waiting for a good day to make its debut. With the winter that we've been having here in  New Jersey, I've been waiting for a day that is free of sleet, snow and hail!

Just about everyone at the office asked to feel this dress, it just looks luscious! Today I paired it with a simple white button down (my fave is this totally affordable option from Banana Republic) and riding boots.  As the weather warms this spring, I'll shed the layers and rejoice in the sun!

Dress: Theory

Spring in Blue

Yesterday brought our first spring rainstorm. While I'm always a bigger fan of sunshine rather than rain, I was just happy that it wasn't snowing!  With the rain, I find myself wearing softer colors, including baby pink, mint green and of course, powder blue.
