Easing into Spring with Florals and Layers

Easing into Spring with Florals and Layers by thelovelyside on polyvore.com

I'm soooo ready to slip into pretty dresses, charming flats, lovely blouses, and sweet sandals... without the boots, coats, and thick scarves! Iowa weather is so unpredictable... I woke up to snow today! Springtime really can't get here soon enough and until it warms up for good and the snow melts away, I guess I'll just be dreaming about those pretty dresses and sandals.
Even in April, however, the weather can be chilly and indecisive. So it's important to not pack away the cardigans, sweaters, and jeans just yet. I created 10 lovely looks that incorporate spring's lovely colors and patterns along with flexible layers that can be added and removed in case of chilly weather.

I'm most excited about the florals! What spring staple are you longing to flaunt? And which of these outfits is your favorite? Where would you wear it?

DIY Cat Barrier for Under $100 (See-Through, Climb-Proof, and Too-Tall-To-Jump)

ICYMI: I gave up Cotton after deciding that after trying so many things, my two adopted cats Dahlia and Cotton were just never going to get along. Long story short: I missed her. And Cotton's back. And Dahlia's not going anywhere. My heart is big enough to keep trying. And my apartment is big enough that if I need to keep them separated long term (or permanently), it can be done.
I'm going to write-up a separate post about some of the solutions I've tried, how they worked, who they worked on, and what I'll be trying next. But in this post, I wanted to share the main 'piece de resistance' of having both cats in my apartment: an un-climbable, un-jumpable, see-through barrier to separate Cotton and Dahlia.

More, please! »
