Enamel bangles, Stella McCartney ankle boots and dress are all second-hand from Secondi


This dress is one of my favorite finds from Secondi, and I can’t wait to wear it more often now that the weather is ever-so-slowly warming up. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been obsessing over Aaryn West’s dreamy designs lately, but I’ve got graphic flower prints on the brain.

I also think it’s neat how different the dress can look with demure heels vs ankle boots. The heels are closer to the elegant, subtle style of my friend, photographer and stylist extraordinaire, Ms. Victoria Corkhill, whereas the boots come from the sci-fi, Star Trek, Battle-Star Galactica-loving side of me. Whenever I put on a flowy or flowery dress, I immediately want to add combat boots and a leather jacket. 

What are you looking forward to wearing more of this spring?

And, while I'm being nosy, what are your plans this Thursday? I will be at Swap and the City, and I think you should be, too! Hosted by SNOBSWAP and Dewdrop LLC, proceeds from the event will benefit Becky's Fund, and all unswapped items will be donated to the Goodwill of Greater Washington.

This luxury clothing swap soireƩ is the perfect way to be kind to the earth and the people on it. Plus, designer swap items will be modeled down the runway by CapFABB bloggers, including yours truly. I have never actually "modeled down a runway," but I will give it my very best, and try very hard not to trip or walk the wrong way. ;)

As promised, I've put together one way to get the look from Monday's post...

A vintage silk scarf is one of my favorite ways to wear colors or patterns I wouldn't normally wear. You can throw one around your neck, wrap it around your head, or tie it onto a bag if you're just not quite ready to wear one. What I love most is that they have a history, but I also don't mind that a few of the ones I found on Etsy are under $10!

Spring has finally sprung, and what better way to celebrate than with plaid on plaid mania?

Also, the cherry blossoms are at their peak today, so if you haven't seen them yet, today is the day, my fair friends.

The shirt and belt are both second-hand from Secondi. The bangle is made of sustainable mango tree wood by Mango Tree Bangles. The gold necklaces were given to me by my mother: the locket when I was a baby, and the jade necklace for Christmas last year. Thanks, Mom!
