Vintage dress and matching belt, BP cardigan, Jeffrey Campbell oxfords
20 March 2011
Officially Spring
Today was the first official day of Spring and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. Its still a bit chilly but the sun was shining and the sky was perfectly blue. I dressed up for the occasion and took my old bike out of the shed for the first time since last fall. Its incredibly difficult to ride in these shoes so I won't be attempting that again, but that didn't stop me from going a little picture crazy. This vintage dress has been mine for almost 3 years, but I hardly ever wore it because it was so long. Over the winter I shortened it and like a butterfly coming out of its cocoon it was ready to fly out of the closet. Hopefully now it will have the chance to be on heavy rotation in the coming months.

ReplyDeletesuch a pretty dress, and styled to perfection! I love the matching belt layered over the cardi, and the pale tights. Lovely :)
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous Kallie! And the pictures are amazing, especially the first one with the dress twirling :D
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad spring arrived! Today was such a sunny day in London that feels so good.
That dress is beautiful!! I love the belt. The blue cardigan is lovely as well. I can't imagine biking in those shoes...haha. That would be hard! I'm glad Spring is here too. :)
ReplyDeletethat picture of you with the bike is perfect and so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! beautiful!! this outfit is so graceful and sweet. Yey for spring.
ReplyDeletethe dress is so cute with the cardigan - cute
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit, and the weather looks gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an uh-may-zing dress! The butterflies print is just so darling. it's crazy how much a few inches off of a hemline can change the look of a dress. I had these two gorgeous dresses that I simply never wore, but when I finally got around to shortening them, Bam! go-to summer staples.
ReplyDeleteI wish it would warm up a bit over here! Funny that it's pouring rain in CA, yet you can go biking in a dress and a sweater in NY :P

Such a perfect Spring outfit! The blue of your sweater is the perfect pair with the dress. Love your blog and style. Now following! xoxo
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bright colors. It is a real gem of a dress when it still has the matching belt! Happy Spring!
ReplyDeleteWonderful style and great blog! xoxo
ReplyDeletethat sure is the perfect dress to twirl around in, you look lovely! and happy to hear the blue skies are keeping you company. perfect day for a little jaunt out on the bike, although i see your point about the shoes. could be a calamity waiting to happen, glad you made it through safe & sound! ♥
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE the bright blue! It looks so pretty on you. This is definitely perfect for the occasion...hope you had a great first day of spring!
