Mother Nature is a total you-know-what. She keeps dangling 50 degree days in front of us and then hits us with another snow storm. I’m currently writing this as a nice “wintry mix” hits my bedroom window. I wish I had more middle fingers to flip her, really. I’m at the end of my rope with this winter.. Enough already!
Anyway, I keep trying to distract myself from the cold and boost my mood with pretty colors and fun prints. Hot pink bag? Check. Bright floral scarf? Yep. Peachy polka dot pants? Yes, please.
On a side note, what the heck is going on with my left shoelace?! It’s as if I never learned the “loop, swoop, and pull.” I apparently just contort my laces into some balled-up knot. I think they are legitimately triple knotted… Better safe than sorry? I’ve got nothing.

Thanks for taking my pictures, Hallie!

I am totally feeling you about disliking Mother Nature right now. It’s been snowing all night (they said 15-30cm) and I’m ready to crawl into bed and have a movie day. I love this outfit, you make me want spring so badly! Your pants are the perfect length.
Have a great day!
Super cute outfit. Love the polka dot pants. They are perfect and look super with those Sperry Topsiders. Love!!!

Loving those pants and can’t stop laughing over the shoelace thing! Best part – those are shoes that don’t even really need to be tied!
Ha, I know! Who knows how long they’ve been tied like that…
I am equally spiteful of the weather right now. Such a tease! This is the perfect spring outfit, even if it is a little cold. I’ve just started wearing bright colors despite these bipolar temperatures!
Love all the bright, fun colors! I have been wanting some Sperry’s for a while. Do they fit any different than normal shoes?
They run exactly true to size! And very consistent.. I’ve always been an 8.5 in the (~30 something) pairs I’ve owned! 🙂
I love that scarf! xo

If your outfit doesn’t bring warmer weather, we’re doomed! Love the bright and cheery mix. I’m in NW PA and am with you on being done with winter. Bye bye!

I just tried those pants on and Gap. They weren’t my favorite, but they look fantastic on you! Fingers crossed winter will be over very soon…

I had to go up a few sizes to get this fit! I’m usually a 2/4 and these are a 6.
That line bracelet is beautiful!
That link bracelet is beautiful!
Beautful look!! Amazing bag!
Very chic! I love your bag!:)
thanks for reminding me that spring is missing.
I don’t know what it is about Sperrys, but those darn shoelaces never stay tied! I have the same problem. And the weather in Chicago is just as bad. A lovely 17 degrees this morning. Ugg.

Love those pants! I don’t remember seeing them in peach at my last trip to the GAP. Next time I need to do a little more digging!

Well the weather may be horrible but you look fantastic. I love every single element in this outfit. Even down to the balled up laces. Gives it that effortless vibe. 😉

Lookin’ good lady. I think I need to crash-diet and steal those pants from you, yep!
Love the polka dot pants! I’m wearing a pair I bought a Gap last fall. They are great.
Great outfit JEssica. I totally know how you feel. I can’t wait for Spring to finally make an appearance and stay, not just toy with us.

Really love that scarf. Some floral prints are just SO right, and that is one of them in my book.
Those pants & shoes are adorable! Want both! 🙂
Those peachy jeans are so cute!

The weather has been insane this year, you’re right. We had nice weather last week but now it’s been snowing for three days!
Love the floral look btw, and the candy bag. I have a purple one but I’d like to get a more “lively” colour too 🙂

Cute outfit! We must be on the same wavelength because I wore pretty much the exact same outfit on Wednesday, but the mint green version! No polka dots though, I have those jeans in black and white!
The term “Wintery mix” makes me want to kill someone too!
I just noticed about 3 pics in that your pants are polkadoted! This outfit looks like a Jillian Harris pic I saw on Instagram a few days ago! I love it!
