Spring Look 5 - First Thursday in Austin

Every first Thursday, South Congress in Austin, a funky little neighborhood with cute boutiques and vintage stores, opens all their doors late and serves beer, offers music, booths, etc. I've been meaning to go since we got back to Austin but haven't made it yet. But when I do...this is what i want to wear! I'm not really feeling the cutesy summer dresses this year - this one has a more vintage-y grown up feel while still being airy and comfortable.

Dress - Fossil
Boots - Frye (I couldn't decide between the two - each makes it's own look!)
Wood cuff - Burberry

Bring it, Spring!

When I lived in Boston, fall was my favorite season...breaking out the tall boots, the brown and burnt orange sweaters (where burnt orange is just a color, not a statement), the cable knit tights. Here in Texas, there's only about a two-week period during which you can wear these things - so now I choose spring! And spring has definitely sprung in Austin - days in the low 80's and sunny have me feeling shopping spring fever! So, upcoming, some of my favorite looks that I hope to incorporate into my spring wardrobe (somewhat limited by the good images i could find - i couldn't stand for the images not to "match").
