First day of spring

I wore a special outfit for the first day of spring and the last day for the seniors before spring break. Teal tights by Hue, brown Cole Haan fisherman sandals, a Boden skirt of charcoal grey with tawny polka dots, an LL Bean beige and cream striped sailor shirt, and topping it off (of course) an Adrienne Vittadini scarf of brown, black, burgundy, and teal with a pattern that looks a detail from a painting by Gustav Klimt. Oh yes, and concentric round-cornered square hammered brass earrings by Ann Dick. Now if that isn't a fashion mish mash I don't know what else to add. A spritz of Shalimar?

I felt especially decked out and festive. (To paraphrase Lady Jones in Beloved: She looked like a chippy, but it was no mistaking she was a teacher.) This marks the third day that I have worn Real Shoes to work this year (instead of Birkies). It was fun.
