Spring is in the Air

March 30, 2015 by jessica

MarchOutfit3v10

I refused to wear a jacket on Saturday, even though the temperature barely rose above 40 degrees. It was dry, the snow was mostly melted, and it was sunny. That and I’m tired of wearing winter coats. So, I threw on my favorite merino wool sweater that I’ve had for four years now (and actually wore when I met Dave for the first time) and a pair of, gasp, jeans. For the record, I hate jeans. I don’t think they’re comfortable or particularly flattering, but I figured it was time to buy a pair for weekends when I don’t want to wear a skirt or black pants. I went to Old Navy after seeing this pair of jeans on Lydia. I see the appeal of the jegging-like material, but they looked terrible on me. I ended up going with the skinny “Sweetheart” style. Paired with some of my favorite spring accessories–including daisy earrings that you can win tomorrow–it made for a relaxed ensemble for running errands and indulging in afternoon drinks.

    You look so good in them though, you should try a pair of paige denim (they fit amazing) or to save try the gap resolution skinny (it has a nice stretch). Love your earrings.

    Isn’t it amazing how when it’s fall we are wearing a jacket when it gets below 60 but in the spring it’s 45 and we refuse to wear a jacket!

    This outfit is easy, breezy and beautiful for a Casual Spring Day. The scarf, striped loafers and stud flowers on your ears make it even more Springy and light! Love it. =)

    Love this outfit! Jeans suit you! You just have to find the right style/fabric and they’ll be super comfortable! I could sleep in some of my jeans, haha. But I’m addicted to them so maybe it’s just because I’m so used to it.

    Love it! I hate wearing jeans, I only own one pair and I only wear them when nothing else is appropriate! They’re just so restricting, I vastly prefer skirts and dresses. I love your bag and earrings, they’re so funa nd so summer-ready! Great post!

    It would be so nice to get above 40! But Until then I think jeans are good to fall back on. I have to admit I’ve gone through so many phases of saying I wouldn’t wear something. Shorts, stripes, high heels, and in the end I’ve decided that I love having all those things in my wardrobe rotation. I’m glad you decided to test the waters with denim and again, and that pair does look fabulous on you!

Snapshots from our recent trip to Philadelphia. Snapshots from our recent trip to Philadelphia. 

Everyone we met in Philly apologized for their gruff nature, despite no one actually living up to that stereotype. 😂
There’s nothing like having a vacation coming up There’s nothing like having a vacation coming up to motivate you to tackle a list of chores and deep clean the house.
It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. It’s so nice to be home after a whirlwind week. We flew out to Philadelphia last Friday for a few days of exploring. It was our first time in the City of Brotherly Love and we loved every minute of it from the architecture to the restaurants, and most of all: the welcoming and friendly people. After that, we had one night at home before a flight to Denver to celebrate my cousin’s wedding. We got back to Madison late last night and have spent the day puttering around the house, getting caught up on laundry, grocery shopping, harvesting the season’s first tomatoes from the garden, and admiring just how much the hydrangeas have grown in the course of a week.
I always get a kick out of comparing views of our I always get a kick out of comparing views of our home today to the photos I took during our home inspection. (Swipe to see our main bedroom then!) While I knew the house had potential, it was hard to look past some of the owner’s “design” choices. Though, it looks like the room was destined to have a warm-toned quilt. 😂

P.S. @schoolhouse just released new colors of their popular Stillwater Floral Quilt!

And, for those interested, I’ve linked my bedroom items here: https://liketk.it/5iC8R

Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a Back in December, we booked @therobeychicago for a couple nights in the summer and our long awaited anticipation of lounging by the rooftop pool was finally fulfilled last weekend. It also inadvertently became the weekend I made Dave eat a cheeseburger every day, between @redhotranchchicago, @eatmottst, and @smallcheval. There are worst ways to spend a weekend.

Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until la Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until late last year when we finally bought a bed, mattress, and a set of sheets. We used some of our own extra bedding (tucking in the generous overhang of our king blankets under the queen-sized mattress) and old bedside lamps from our bedroom: functional, but not quite the charming space I’d envisioned.
 
That started to change when I purchased the Popcorn Grid Coverlet from Schoolhouse — an item I’d been eyeing for years — plus some graphic floral pillows. Then came a bright blue round cushion and the sweetest Teig lamp, both generously gifted by Schoolhouse, and the room finally started to come together.
