A terrible pun — forgive me — but the basic point is that March has been a step in the right direction. The direction of spring, that is. We still get cold days occasionally, but the temperatures have been positively balmy at times. Well, for Edmonton. In March. Hence this outfit — I promise I didn’t have to freeze my tush off for these pics. I never thought I’d say this but it’s great to be reunited with my garage door backdrop. Shooting OOTD pics in the basement has taken its toll.

Anyway, the outfit. I threw on my beloved J. Crew Dutch floral sweater over a new-ish thrifted Anthro dress, and it was a nice little combo for a Saturday of errand running. Seriously, it’s hard to go wrong with this sweater/sweatshirt, and I would encourage you to look it up on eBay when you get the chance. (Just keep in mind that, if you see my mug in a listing, I’m not the seller. It’s happened before. Also, make sure it’s the retail version. I can’t speak to the quality/fit of the Factory version.) If you do want to pick it up, size WAY down. I’m wearing an XXS, and it’s still quite roomy in the arms. Otherwise, it’s pretty darn perfect, and it goes so well with practically anything. This Maeve dress is also quite nice and comfy, especially for the $7 I spent on it. Gotta love that thrift.

  1. I think I may have to take a look at eBay for that sweater – you’ve worn it so many ways, I think I’d have fun mixing and matching it to my wardrobe!
