It was officially an amazing day. My morning run was a little less One Girl Against the World and a little more Bond Girl Zig Zags Through Pedestrians. It was very inspiring and coincidentally, I shaved 30 seconds off my mile. What was the cause of my motivation? The golden mistress herself, El SUN graced my frozen city with her presence. We reached 65 stellar, fun-loving degrees today!

Thanks to this glorious sign of hope that the meanest, roughest winter will soon be over – I was more than ready to pull out one of my go-to winter pieces and wear it with my almost number one go-to summer piece.

Nothing brightens my day more than a little yellow sunshine on my wrists. Enter my Vince pullover – I love it because a) I won it by selling a ton of Vince product during my Nordstrom days b) it’s Vince so it’s instantly cool c) it just makes me happy. Yellow and gray were my wedding colors, so it’s all near and dear to my heart. During my (speedy) run this morning, I decided that jean shorts with tights were a must. This outfit is almost always casual, but it’s such a great way to transition into warmer months without bearing your pale, noodle legs prematurely. PLUS shorts just make me happy.

Style note: try dressing this look up with a wedge and a longer field jacket to get a little more foxiness and less girl-next-door-ness as seen here. Girl next door or not, it’s getting warmer and my best season is around the corner. I couldn’t wipe that grin off my face if I tried.

My challenge to all you sun-bunnies slowly de-frosting across the blogosphere – make your two seasons collide this week. xoxo – Haley
