I'm so happy it's springtime. I think this winter was the last straw and I'm ready to migrate south next year; I guess I'm finally accepting the fact that I'm always freezing. Here is what I'm normally wearing out and about come springtime, when it's time to shed the dark colored clothes and heavy boots.
It used to feel overwhelming trying to find something vintage and comfy and pretty to wear during the day; a lot of vintage shops and stores highlight dresses over all else, and that isn't always practical. But with some trial and error, I found my go-to outfits for a day of shopping or running errands. I get a lot of inspiration from teen outfits in the '50s, actually. They're cute, functional, but still body-hugging and grown up. If you don't have a pair of saddle shoes, go get some; it'll change your life (for real, ladies).
