All American Spring

a

After a week of being stuck indoors I've got a bit of cabin fever. I can't wait to get back outside for some fresh air and sunshine. Of course, the sunshine is in short supply around these parts right now. And the fresh air freezes your lungs with every breath. So... I think I may have gotten my first little bite from the spring bug. I'm not totally ready yet, but this All American Girl collection from ASOS has me thinking about bare legs and picnics. I'm not usually a fan of white shoes, but a pair of white oxfords may be in my future.

I saw that too, it really made me want to enroll in a high school and wear ra-ra skirts. Can't wait for summer! x

I adore the beige polka dots one, I've been keeping an eye on it since I got the newsletter email :)

Really cute photos for sure. If you get white oxfords, make sure to immediately protect them with some kind of leather spray. I bought some called Vectra which is apparently the best (you can use it on satin shoes, leather, suede, lots of stuff), found a can on ebay for pretty cheap. My friend had a pair of really expensive white oxfords and not long after she got them she was moving an old chair into her apartment and some oil/grease dripped onto it and kind of ruined them... white shoes are hard, haha. Or just get cheap ones!

that white eyelet lace dress has been in my cart for weeks. i've been trying to resist but i really don't think that's going to pan out.

Melissa said...

i want warm weather right now. boston is basically the north pole currently.

Bah, I was drooling over that eyelet dress a few days ago, but it's already sold out in my size. : (

Lovely clothes! Perfect for the weather I'm in at the moment :)

Brie said...

Ah, that second outfit is adorable, clean, and crisp (um, checkered skirt, please). I love seeing ASOS's interpretation of American style since they're a British company.

Lola Lovely said...

I totally agree! I've just come back to the UK after a 3 month long visit to my hometown of sunny Sydney, Australia. How cute is this collection?! I'm not letting the cold stop me, its nothing that a pair of opaques, a scarf and a snuggly cardi can't fix ;). x

I can't believe I've missed these from ASOS, such gorgeous outfits (especially the black and white striped skirt on the bottom row!)

I've had my eye on these adorable little Jeffery Campbell white oxfords. But I'm not sure how often I would wear them. Unless I had all the clothes from this collection of course!
XOXO
