Look how happy I am to have some warm-ish weather! I'm actually smiling. Ha, ha. Seriously, it's amazing how warm 42 can feel when the sun is shining. Next week is calling for the 50s. Woo-hoo!
As far as what I'm wearing, I love when outfits come together as organically as this one. This is not at all what I planned on wearing when I woke up this morning. Then I saw this blouse hanging on my Etsy rack - I had it listed in the store for a few months and it never sold so I just let the listing expire. I thought I'd try it again (I wore it a few times before I decided to sell it) and really loved it. I don't quite know why I thought I wanted to sell it.
The shoe/sock combo was inspired by all of the spring collections I've been seeing with socks and sandals. I stocked up on some lightweight socks last time I was at Target and really love them. If you're looking for some, I'd definitely check there. I think technically these are "trouser socks". I'm not usually one to wear bows in my hair but this one was inspired by the Orla Kiely girls in the spring 10 lookbook. I'm not completely sold on it, but I did like the way it pulled the skirt and top together.

I love that the hair bow is actually a bow tie!
You look great! The socks are really sweet :-)
Awesome outfit!
I love this! i've been wearing socks with heels everyday since it's been warm.
Oh, and isn't it nice to rediscover things that you had in your shop...then realize it's meant for you!?
V. pretty although I am having difficuly getting my head around the sock/shoe/sandal look for the upcoming season.
Your look so vintage.
i your your style!
absolutely GORGEOUS!
You look so lovely--one of the few people who pull off that skirt length and socks so beautifully. The little bow in your hair is a really nice touch.
Love the socks and heels. These photos are so beautiful and stunning :)
I was looking at target today to find socks for this look! Now I know what to look for!
I really like the bow!
I don't think I have seen you smile in photos before, and I think your smile is amazing, as is the style you are representing too. hehe.
Your outfit is great, but your smile is even better! I really think this is the first time I've seen it.
Spring is officially on its way!!
I love the bowtie as a hair accessory. You sold me on it!
i love seeing you smile! you look lovely as always, of course! the bow on your hair is great, doubly great for being a men's vintage bow tie!
These are some really stunning photos.
I love this. And you look absolutely gorgeous, especially in that first pic! I know what you mean about bows, I worry about coming across as a bit twee, but you don't at all.
love the socks & shoes combo! love your hair too :)

Beautiful socks! I'd love to be able to pull this off without feeling frumpy...I think getting nude colored socks like this might be the trick. Inspiration, thank you!
