Spring Is (Almost) Here!!

Today, a glorious thing happened up here in the mountains…..it rained!!! This is HUGE! It means spring it almost here! Since it snowed just a few days ago, I have not had much hope for spring being here anytime soon. But then today it rained, and my hope was restored!! So in honor of the spring weather that will show up within the next month (*fingers crossed*), here is my fashion find for the day.

It’s called the “Sauvati Washed Linen Crochet Poncho” and it is from Calypso St. Barth! I love love love this. It’s so casual-cool, perfect for spring and summer. This is definitely something I will need when I go on a beach vacation (I better plan one stat!). It seems so light and airy, it would be a good thing to always have with you in case you need to throw something on as it gets cooler as the sun goes down up here in the mountains.

This poncho costs $275, but if you buy it right now, they are having a promo code for friends and family thats 25% off! Go to their website to check it out:

What do you think? Is this not the most perfect poncho/shirt you have ever seen?!?! Let me know!

An Ode to Yoga Pants

Do you ever have those days when you just don’t want to go to work? When you can’t get out of bed and you snooze your alarm for 30 minutes, until you finally have to jump up and throw something on to make it on time? Well that was me today. But lucky for me, I work at a ski resort, where there isn’t a dress code. Yes, there is a slight dress code depending on what department you work in. But lucky for me, I have a great boss and co-workers, and a hidden desk job where no customers have to see me. Which means – no dress code! This gives me the freedom on days like today, when I couldn’t get out of bed until 20 minutes before I was supposed to be at work, to throw on yoga pants. YOGA PANTS!! In any normal corporate job, this would NOT be okay. But somehow I have found the only job that utilizes my college business degree skills, while still giving me the freedom to dress how I would like. So fine, I might not make as much as an investment banker in NYC, but at least I get to be comfy while compiling my reports. (Today I literally sat in a 4 hour long meeting, wearing a tshirt, fleece, yoga pants, and socks. No shoes. Just socks. Because how I am going to sit cross-legged in my chair if i have shoes on? It’s not possible. And who likes to be uncomfortable in a 4 hour long meeting?? Not me!) No heels required, no suits required, no makeup required. Let’s be real – not even shoes are technically required. When I sit back and think about my options, I realize I actually have it pretty good.

So today this post is dedicated to yoga pants. May you continue to be part of my dress code. And may others one day get to wear you as part of theirs.

Fab Find!

Last fall I was vacationing in the Hampton’s (legit, I know), and found the most fabulous shirt at Lilly Pulitzer. It was dark pink and had gold buttons and I just loved it. I bought it on the spot, and wore it with jeans and riding boots in the fall. It was flowy, breezy, and perfect. Well…Lilly’s newest release of spring clothes has unleashed a surprise too good to be true — my favorite shirt, but in summer colors!!!

I was SO excited. It’s definitely a must have. Not only does it incorporate my favorite things (bright colors, flowing fabric), but it is the perfect go to for spring AND summer! You can pair it with dark jeans if it’s a colder spring day, and then transition it to summer with white jeans (as the pic shows), or wear it with white shorts and a cute bedazzled sandal. The options are endless!! Throw on some gold bangles rocked with a perfect tan, and you are good to go!

Here is the link to purchase this shirt – Elsa Top – A Delicacy It’s $158 and comes in multiple colors. So if pink/blue/green isn’t for you, try this one Elsa Top – Ring the Bellboy . Or this one Elsa Top – I Got Lucky . There are 11 different printed tops (browse Lilly Pulitzer’s website), as well as a few that are solid colors (like my pink fall shirt).

What are some of your favorite go-to tops??
