The Lilac tress all along my street are in full bloom, it is warm enough outside for bare legs (although with how pale I am, I’m not sure I should be so brave yet), and I’ve finally cleaned out my closet of all the wool coats and snow boots.

Spring in the city seems to come and go. It’s like one day it’s gorgeous out, not too hot and not too cold, and the next day its sweltering and you find yourself longing for Fall and it’s crisp cool breeze. So for today, I’m soaking up Spring for all I can get and fully embracing Spring dressing, like this ruffled skirt.

I love that ruffles are such a huge trend for Spring. I’m not usually that girly, but for some reason these feel like a little more grown-up version of the ruffles from my school girl days. I’ll admit, I will probably be saving this for a beach party in the Hamptons for my sister’s Bachelorette weekend rather than wearing it schlepping my kids around Brooklyn all summer long. But it’s nice to get dressed up every now, am I right?!
