It’s time to start planning some fun outdoor pursuits, stretch our legs, and get a little sun. And what better way to motivate ourselves than with some great spring attire?
Today I found the most interesting Proenza Schouler necklace, perfect for a girl who occasionally likes to play rough. It’s made from climbing ropes, with lots of fun color and texture. The stone dangles add sparkle and a playful element that I couldn’t resist.
For a pretty approach, I started with a cute cinched waist dress with crystal embellishments. It’s smart and comfy, and it has pockets - great for collecting treasures along the beach, perhaps. In case it’s a little windy, I paired it with pale gray patterned tights and a wool shawl. A pair of crochet ankle boots and a black Juicy Couture tote add a little tenacity, and a simple flower ring picks up on the yellow cords of the necklace.
The second outfit is a little more versatile, with a great pair of black cargos and a pretty blue V-neck blouse. Simple black oxfords and a many-pocketed Balenciaga jacket give it a go-anywhere edge, but the denim blue and leather backpack help maintain the outdoorsy look. I finished things with a very wearable Murano glass ring in yellow and amber.
The companion bracelet I chose for both outfits is a charming little number, with plaited leather and tassels, and lots of beads that match the blue and neutral palette. I love the texture and movement, which plays along nicely with our mountain climbing neck piece.
Gotta have handmade and vintage? I found these gorgeous pieces for a day at the park:
