Yesterday morning was literally one of those mornings where I had 5 minutes to choose an outfit (15 minutes to get ready in total, whoops). The easiest route for me is a dress + blazer/cardigan and just match all my accessories. It seems so boring and blah, but sometimes it just works when you are trying to get ready fast. I chose my sequin black cardigan over my plain one though, just to add a little something more to the ensemble. It is still nothing special, but it happens. On the upside, the SUN WAS SHINING yesterday and got up to 46 degrees! I actually didn’t wear tights for this reason, but because I am refusing to wear them until next fall/winter, but it ended up working since I felt perfectly fine walking out of the office with bare legs at 5 o’clock. Cheers to that!

March 28, 2013 at 6:33 AMI really like that dress, as well as the cardi! It may be nothing special to you but I think this outfit is fun! I’m not sure I could rock it without tights in 45 degree weather…but my legs get cold easily!

March 28, 2013 at 7:59 AMRachel! You look so pretty in these pictures – your hair looks amazing. The early morning light really is the best 🙂
AND HIGH FIVE FOR NO TIGHTS. I didn’t even wear a jacket into work today. yeah it’s only 35 degrees but come on, we’re midwestern girls. it’s basically swim suit weather!

March 28, 2013 at 8:54 AMThanks Fran! My hair actually cooperated yesterday, WHAT?! AND YES! Exactly! Seriously I was ready to bust out the shorts… okay maybe not that far. But tights, just not necessary anymore! Plus I think all of mine have holes in them now, lol.

March 28, 2013 at 8:16 AMI can’t believe you are already wearing no tights. I wish I could without freezing! It’s supposed to nice this weekend, though, so maybe I will try it out 🙂

March 28, 2013 at 10:24 AMBare legs?! You are a brave one, Miss Rachel!! I usually wait until 50 degrees before I’ll wear bare legs, and even then, it completely depends on what I’m doing that day 🙂
