The arrival of spring has done wonders for all of us New Yorkers. Everyone seems a lot less bitter and sometimes we even smile at each other on the street (gasp!). I love this time of year because everyone is excited for the months to come with trips to the Hamptons, sunning in Central Park, outside brunches, and sandals on their minds.

Spring clothes don’t suck either. This Annie Griffin top (currently 50% off!) has become a fast favorite in my closet. I’ve worn this spring blouse so many times in the last few weeks and I can’t seem to get enough. I love the mint silk necktie and the super springy pattern. It’s perfect for pattern mixing, in fact. Although I didn’t do it here, I’ve been pairing it with the striped blazer from this post quite often.
