I want to take a moment to celebrate simple, sleeveless dresses with adorable detailing. Yay! I had a nightmareish experience at J. Crew in February, where I tried on four dresses which were all terribly ill-fitting, but I’m willing to give them another chance because of this shift, which is perfect on every level…

I love dresses like this, which are preppy enough to wear practically anywhere, but still casual enough that you don’t have to think twice before throwing it on. It’s this dress that will be worn four days out of the week, which will make it well worth the $88 price tag!

Today, it reached 63 degrees in Boston! Okay, so it was windy and rainy and generally miserable, but who cares?! It’s springtime! Temperatures are forecasted to fall back to the forties tomorrow, but for now I’m just happy that the sixties still exist. It allows me to dream about wearing dresses like this juicy number by BCBG.

Light dresses, I think, call for delicate, feminine jewelry. The next piece I want to get is this necklace by my friend Cathy, the designer of Vanilla Moon jewelry. Sooooo pretty!
