(Shorts, sweater, collared shirt - h&m, shoes - Madewell, bag - Zara, watch - Michael Kors)
Hello hello! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend, and of course, an amazing Mother's Day :*) Spring has finally sprung, which means it's the perfect time to bring one's pastels to the forefront of the closet. That's right, push those dark & dreary wintertime pieces far, faaaaaaar back and deep within your closet, where they cannot be touched! I really wanted to pull together a fresh outfit this weekend. The mesh sweater is a recent purchase from h&m -- and although it is a sweater, the mesh material allows for it to be a rather light and layerable piece for Spring. The shorts, from h&m as well, are such a pretty pastel pink colour that almost look white in the sunlight -- most def. a Spring staple. I love the juxtaposition of a long-sleeved top, like a blazer or sweater, with a crisp pair of shorts. This combo can be rather tricky as it can only really be done in very particular weather: warm (enough to wear shorts), yet still slightly breezy (enough to wear long sleeves without perspiring.. haha).
P.S. Some of you may have noticed that I cut an inch or two off my hair. It was definitely time for it! I'm slowly but surely saying bye-bye to my ombre. I miss having healthy hair!
xoxo, Ally













Cute peterpan collar with the sweater! :D

Im totally digging your outfit with the pop of lipstick. I still have a hard time pulling off neutral pastels but you are doing so effortlessly! I'm also really excited to retire all the black to the back of my closet! Except for the fact that I just bought a black leather 3 quarter sleeve blazer at salvation army yesterday and I HAVE to wear it. do you ever have those purchases? You know something is out of season but you just have this unexplainable need to own it? Anyway, Im rambling. So nice visiting your blog today! Love your style : )

hey darling. love the outfit so much, and yes, great time to pull out pastels. i am so glad i discovered your blog. i have spent some time going through some of your posts, and i really enjoy your sense of fashion. you have a good eye but also i can see your own personal style coming through. it is preppy but with a bit of an edge. some of the outfits i would wear myself, others maybe not, but i can still really appreciate them because there are so many different kinds of styles out there to appreciate even if we personally do not dress in them. you also seem like a lovely girl and i hope you had a lovely mother's day (even though it has now been some time since!) in any case, i am a new follower, and it would also be really lovely if you could pop over to my blog and check it out and follow back if you like it!
