Spring Has Sprung

Tribal Spring
Today is my last day of work at my current job. It's been a long 4 1/2 years so I'm taking a week off before I start my new job. I'm going to call the time off in between MY spring break. Fitting since it's now officially spring.

Perfect timing because last weekend I added several dresses to my wardrobe to make it really feel like spring. I'm loving all of the high-low dresses available right now. In fact, I bought the one above. It's an adorable tribal print H&M dress that will hopefully get a lot of use for the next several months. You can't tell from this pic, but there are cute little hearts incorporated into the print. I love it!

Most people think of lace and floral when it comes to spring (both of which I also purchased), but I also think of lightweight, airy items that can be worn for outdoor activities like festivals and wine tasting. This dress will be perfect for that.

Wow, I had no idea your last day was so soon! When are you moving?! I need to be caught up on all the deets!

You're going to look so cute in that dress, and you have officially inspired me to go to H&M pronto.

That is a lovely dress,
I love high low dresses too

and I feel so much a woman wearing them like when I'm wearing a maxi.

I love that dress! I want to see it in person so I can see the fun little hearts. Congrats on finishing up your job! 4 1/2 years is a long time, so I think it's safe to say you deserve a week off! Enjoy your "spring break"!!
