Spring Has Sprung

Tribal Spring
Today is my last day of work at my current job. It's been a long 4 1/2 years so I'm taking a week off before I start my new job. I'm going to call the time off in between MY spring break. Fitting since it's now officially spring.

Perfect timing because last weekend I added several dresses to my wardrobe to make it really feel like spring. I'm loving all of the high-low dresses available right now. In fact, I bought the one above. It's an adorable tribal print H&M dress that will hopefully get a lot of use for the next several months. You can't tell from this pic, but there are cute little hearts incorporated into the print. I love it!

Most people think of lace and floral when it comes to spring (both of which I also purchased), but I also think of lightweight, airy items that can be worn for outdoor activities like festivals and wine tasting. This dress will be perfect for that.

    Spring? Um, it was 14 degrees in Chicago yesterday. This sucks. But I am getting that dress. Enjoy your last day and DO NOT STAY LATE TONIGHT, ok?!

    Wow, I had no idea your last day was so soon! When are you moving?! I need to be caught up on all the deets!

    You're going to look so cute in that dress, and you have officially inspired me to go to H&M pronto.

    That is a lovely dress,
    I love high low dresses too
    they are so comfy
    and I feel so much a woman wearing them like when I'm wearing a maxi.

    seriously, that's a perfect dress.

    and I just read today that H&M's online store MAY be opening up soon... which is awesome news for me since I live nowhere near an H&M.


    have a great weekend! enjoy your spring break!

    I definitely think lightweight and airy. I want to be COMFORTABLE and stylish ;) Although, It's 18 degrees right now, so I'm in fleece.
