I can’t believe it’s almost April, and I couldn’t be more excited for springtime! I love how giddy it makes everyone in the city, sunshine after 5pm, brunches outside, running along the East River, skirts without tights, tulips, sandals, asparagus and berries, not wearing hats and gloves, and the prospect of summer coming around the bend.

I’m starting off the season wearing lots of pastels and brights, layering blazers over lightweight tops. Since I quit my job, I’m trying to keep it as budget as possible and it’s working! I’m loving H&M and Zara these days. How cute is this H&M peplum top and mint blazer?
