This gorgeous dress is a silk knit with detailed cap sleeves, which means it’ll be super fun to wear come summer. But it’s heavy and drapey enough to work in winter, too, and that graphic print pops just beautifully against a base of black.

We had a mild, warm, nearly snowless winter last year. It was GLORIOUS, friends. Today is the first day of spring and I awoke to a -10 windchill. I feel that MN is being punished for getting off Scot-free a year ago. Oh, I look happy enough here, but I’m crying inside. At least there’s light well into the evening and we’ve seen the sun a bit. And I can throw on some bold, bright colors to lift my spirits.
