I wish this blog post were a video, so I could accurately convey how genuinely excited I am for the return of spring! I am jumping for joy over here! Bring on the warmer temperatures, brighter colors, dresses and all things floral print. I am slowly starting to refresh my closet for this new season. During the fall and winter, I feel like I am a little more conservative when it comes to color. It almost feels that my colorful clothing is directly correlated with the rising temperatures. That would make for a fascinating thesis for someone out there in the fashion and fabrics world. Now, I am interested to see if there is some science behind that.
Enough about science, let's talk about this particular outfit. When I was styling this outfit in my closet before the shoot, I couldn't help but think about New Orleans. The botanical print takes me to one of my favorite places, Brennan's. Last summer, Jered and I took a long weekend in New Orleans, and we kicked it off with happy hour in the courtyard at Brennan's. This is a beautiful place to sip on a glass (or bottle) of bubbly with loved ones! The service is incredible, the scenery is gorgeous, and the bubbly is ice cold. I took a snap last year and posted it on my Instagram because it was so on brand (you know I have a thing for a light pink hue).
This Zac Posen bag would be perfect for strolling the streets of New Orleans. You can wear it as a backpack like I am in this post or you can switch out the strap to make it cross body. It has been a while since I rocked a backpack, but this makes it all seem so fashionable and functional! Do you remember how much fun it was to pick out a new bag and matching lunch pail before school started each year? Man, I lived to for that! Back to this Zac Posen bag, the color is lovely blush pink that eye-catching without being over the top. The keychain is what really takes this bag to the next level, from the details to the complementary colors. For me, it is on the smaller side so I had to plan strategically about what I needed for the day.
The thing that ties this look together is a darling pair of crushed velvet blush slippers. If you are going to be doing a lot of walking, comfort is key! I am past the age of wearing uncomfortable shoes just to be cute. I scooped these up at Target as soon as I saw them in person. This dress also looks great with a simple pair of black heels. I wore it last week to a friends birthday party where we ended up on the rooftop for cocktails. To me, investment pieces are all about versatility. I want something I can have some mileage with! This botanical poplin dress will take you places.
