My Style >> Tangerine + Coral = Infinite Springtime

I decided to break free from the stand-against-my-beige-dining-room-wall photos and venture into the world of (gasp!) posing in public for this edition of My Style.  Since Robbie is home this week (and a much better photographer than I am), he graciously offered to come with me to one of our favorite local nature preserves and snap some shots. It was a seriously gorgeous day, and everything outside looked so fresh and colorful, so I decided to wear what is quickly becoming my go-to outfit for spring.

Last week, I expressed my undying affection for maxi skirts, and this one happens to be one of my very favorites.  I love the color and fabric, and I've been wearing it on a pretty regular basis with simple v-neck tees.  This particular tee is my #1 choice for this skirt, mainly due to the fact that I adore tangerine and coral.  Honestly, 'adore' isn't even a strong enough word to explain my current obsession with these colors.  I'm smitten.  Head over heels.  Together, they're like infinite springtime.  I'll stop before I start to sound insane (because, you know, they're colors, not puppies or babies), but it's true.  I love them. A lot. Okay. I'm done. Really.

I mentioned that this has become my go-to spring outfit, but let me tell you - when I added the yellow trim floppy hat that I picked up last weekend while shopping with my sister, I felt even more spring-y.  I almost starting skipping and making dandelion crowns and singing 'Here Comes the Sun' by the Beatles, but there were already people staring at us so I restrained myself.   By the way, Robbie thinks this hat is funny and calls it my "Easter bonnet."  He actually laughed when I first walked in the door wearing it, because he assumed I picked it up in the $2 Easter bin at the grocery store and thought I was wearing it as a joke.  Boys are dumb.

I'm pretty sure that putting on any sort of long skirt or dress triggers fond subconscious memories of my years following bands around the country and sleeping in VW buses, because I'm automatically drawn to pairing them with bohemian-style accessories; hence the pretty feathers earrings (handmade by my sister), turquoise necklace, simple leather sandals, and usual arm party of bracelets.  This also includes anything with fringe, like this awesome white fringe clutch, which might just be my most favorite recent purchase.  It's actually a purse, but I like tucking the handle inside because something about a clutch makes any outfit feel just a tiny bit more chic, doesn't it?

For me, the biggest perk of this look (aside from the glorious color combo) is the fact that it's super casual but still "dressy" enough to wear to dinner or on a date.  Tuck in the tee, switch the sandals out for some pretty wedges, and you're good to go.  I've worn it out a couple of times, and I've also thrown it on for incredibly unglamorous errands like running to the store for toilet paper and dish detergent.  It's easy like that.

Do you have a particular outfit this spring that you find yourself wearing over and over?
