Instead of hopping out of bed I lazed about reading the March issue of Elle, which has some of the most beautiful vibrant shoes I've ever seen, to ease into the day. Two cups of tea later the Chef and I strolled out to be greeted by the warmest summer-like breeze we've had since before last summer's deep freeze. It actually caught me off guard in the best way possible. Instead of zipping by the beach on our way to brunch we stopped to take it all in - volleyball players, sailboats in the distance, kids jumping in the sand. For a moment winter seemed so far away.
I couldn't have cared less that I was overdressed. My legs, on the other hand, were screaming out for sun exposure. Soon enough ladies, soon enough.

I've never regretted this one. Caps off an outfit every time.
Same goes for this little blazer. It looks so good with frayed shorts.

White legs cry out for freedom. Momentary respite granted.
Somehow the Chef caught this one as I was just standing there
feeling the warm sun on my back. I can't wait for spring.
Wherever you were I hope you got at least a little warmth this weekend. Just that one day in the sun made everything seem so much brighter. Here's to a smooth week ahead!

A day in the sun sounds glorious. I spent Saturday in bed deep in the grasp of the vicious respiratory infection. It was NOT glorious. I like the sounds of your weekend much better.

your saturday am sounds a lot like mine! woke up early but that didn't mean i left my bed haha love days like that when you have nothing on the books.
we got some high 40s last week and for a moment i forgot it was still chicago in the winter. i'm dying for some warmth. nothing too big, just trench weather!
loving that floral blazer---so many ways to pair it!
that clutch is to die for. I love this whole outfit actually.
thanks for the words of encouragement in this post. i was having a rough monday and this totally made me smile!
that clutch! so pink and bright and makes me YEARN for spring. you look awesomeeee, miss C!
It was such an amazing day on Saturday, the beach was the perfect place! That clutch is so perf with this outfit...holy jeez!
That clutch is amazing!! The studs on pink hit me in that tough/pretty soft spot that gets me every time. Love!
Sounds like the perfect day!! I hope you have a great week!
Saturday was the perfect day! I thought it was supposed to be cold this weekend and was so happy to feel the sunshine on Saturday morning. Gabe and I walked to breakfast and rode our bikes at the beach, it felt like spring! Your floral blazer is so pretty and I'd never get tired of that RM clutch. It's the perfect pop of color for any outfit. And your morning of relaxation sounds really nice.

I am soooo ready for sun too! This weekend was mostly wet in the bay area, but I am not complaining because it cleans the air and makes for green hills! That jacket is so cute, Carrie. I just love it.
Great post, as usual.
Marcie
so gorgeous! I love your jeans!!

That is one darling little blazer. I really love it, and you're right, it's so summery! I have mixed feelings about summer being upon us: on one hand, I can't wait for lazier days and sunny weather, but on the other hand, I'm a little terrified that it's come so fast. I'm gonna be 60 before I know it if the years keep rushing by like this--yikes.
I love it! Casual + tailored = perfection ;)
And I am starting to hit up the sunless tanner, too!
Those are not white legs; I won't show you mine but my legs definitely win. I think a stranger talked about how "pasty" I was the other day. Shame.

I am so jealous of your warm(er)weather and the absence of snow! Although it's sunny here it's sure damn cold still with no Spring in sight just yet.
LOVE the blazer and LOVE your shoes of course!

Sooooooo jealous! It just rained the whole weekend here. Ughh.
LET IT OUT! And if you don't, that's okay because white is so hot and in right now :) Too funny about the legs. Looking fine to me! This weekend was spent in the car crammed under a blanket blazing a path 3 states over to a sporting event and back. Fast food was on the menu and by the time we got back, I had a muffin top and a crease in my belly from sitting so long. Tans make you appear slimmer right?! Ha :) XO, kelly
I cannot get over those clogs! They are amazing. Jeans or skirts.. they do it all. Love them!

You do look great, in my opinion though.
