Happy Thursday, my friends!  I hope this week has been good to you.  Things have been busy for me and basically, I am in the process of getting my life together.  But what 20-something year old isn’t just trying to keep sane??

What I have been successful in, is updating my Spring/Summer wardrobe.  Yeah, big whoop, but hey, great clothes are one step towards getting yourself up and out the door to conquer the world!  This Wayf blouse combines two amazing Spring trends = florals + an off the shoulder sleeve, so it’s total winner.

Springtime is officially here to stay.  After up and down temperatures, heatwaves, and downpours, I think the weather in the DMV has started to steady itself.  At least I am hoping!  One of my favorite things about Spring is that I can officially pull out my Lilly Pulitzer collection.  Plus, I am starting to pick out a few new pieces to add to my wardrobe.

Brr…shooting Spring looks this past weekend was not an easy task, since it was freezing cold!  It was almost down to 18 degrees, and in these pictures, my hands felt like icicles.  However, no one wants to see sweaters and heavy coats anymore.  Plus, it’s March and in my opinion, the BEST month, so shouldn’t it be warm already??

As mentioned in my last post, Spring tops have been on my shopping list and this Zara top is great.  I have declared my love for Zara so many times on Stylista Esquire, and this time is no different.  They have great, quality pieces, at affordable prices, so that you can participate in the latest trends (florals, ruffles, one-shoulder tops), while also shopping for classic basics (Zara has great dresses).  I also love that Zara sells mainly solid colored items.  When shopping on a budget, buying items in solid colors are key to giving off a higher perceived value, as it usually makes the fabric and design look more high-end.
