Saffron Yellow + Silver Snow Leopard

{Dress & Sparkly Clutch: Purchased Abroad, Open Front Cardigan: Nordstrom, Heels: Manolo Blahnik, Belt: Prada, Gold South Sea Pearl Necklace: Na Hoku.}

When I purchased this leopard print dress a decade and a half ago, I had no idea just how much I would live in it. But from the plunging neckline to the flattering and pretty draping to the fun print, I find myself consistently reaching for this whether I’m going out for coffee in the morning or cocktails at night. I threw it on this past weekend when I knew I’d be out all day. From running around midtown during the day to enjoying dessert and a {virgin} drink during date night, this dress made the perfect day to night transition. By pairing it with a belted bright yellow open front cardigan, I was able to keep myself warm with the cool spring breeze during the day, but by evening, my sparkly clutch and black peep toe pumps stole the show.

Blue Denim, Grey Lace

Ever since I was a little girl, I have always tended to live in dresses {as seen plentifully on this site}. But sometimes swapping out my dresses for denim can be exactly what I need to get out of a date night {or really, any} uniform rut {i.e.: my classic look of a dress, heels, clutch, and jewels}. Since this past week has truly felt like spring here in California {alternating between being sunny and cool or drizzly and grey}, I traded in my date night dress for a grey lace blouse I purchased in Germany several {aka, over a decade} summers ago and paired it with slouchy blue denim jeans, grey pumps, and a blue handbag for a pale grey and blue color combination. Worn with a swingy ponytail and a simple, silver necklace, it felt like the epitome of the girl next door look with a slightly elevated feminine feel due to the romantic lace and sky high heels.
