Spring in New York

ZARADRESS_5

Zara Jacket // Theory Dress (old but similar)

YSL Heels // Celine Bag

A few weeks ago, I gave you a list of my ten favorite pieces for Spring.  If I could add two more to that list, it would be a great white coat (like this one from Zara – I bought it last weekend with my pal Alicia, but can’t seem to find it online) and a leather shift in a neutral hue.  This dress was a rather serendipitous find at the end of summer last year.  Don’t you just love those days when you’re looking through the Shopbop sale and find that they have exactly one of something, in your size?  That’s what happened here.

Also, here are a few more leather dresses that I love for Spring:  Buttery light blue, slouchy ivory, classic white, or a gorgeous vegan option.

    Great outfit!
    There is nothing better than a super easy comfortable leather shift dress.
    Love finding stuff like that on Shopbop especially if its on sale.
    Unfortunately it still doesn’t feel like spring in NYC yet.

      I know, it’s so sad! My fingers are still numb from my walk to work.

    Finally some warm(er) weather! Spotted a similar white coat over the weekend and didn’t get it…now I am re-thinking that decision…

    That jacket is a stunner — I need a lighter coat for spring, looks like I need to check out Zara!

    Such pretty photos- the background AND you! I don’t have too many “in-between” coats for spring weather, which is something I should change.

    This dress is gorgeous on you, Grace. I’ve been wanting a leather piece for a while (probably a skirt) but now I’m wary of buying one because I’m not sure how much use I’ll get out of it for spring. Clearly though, as you’ve proved–it totally works!

    I LOVE this gorgeous leather dress Grace! The flowers say Spring (beautifully, might I add) but the frozen fingers still say winter. Sending warm thoughts your way!

    That dress is so perfect! And the coat too, ahhh I’m loving it all! And how gorgeous are the trees in bloom? Our trees started blooming but with all the constant snow the blooms have died off 🙁 I hope we still have a true spring!
