Coastal dreaming

Red striped sweater, light blue shirt, navy shorts, gold Sperrys -- Cotton Cashmere Cat Hair

Last week, we had a couple of days that were forecasted to reach over 70°F, so I immediately thought I could finally wear shorts or a skirt without tights! I jumped the gun a little bit, though... Neither day actually reached 70 degrees, so I was a bit chilly in these shorts to say the least. I was just so excited to wear this outfit; it's kind of incongruous with the combination of a sweater, shirt, and shorts, but I love it. It feels preppier than I normally go for. :)

The only thing I need to fully complete the look is a lake, or ocean...maybe a boat...ya know. I'd love to actually be somewhere fun this week since it's spring break, but grad students are generally expected to work through it. The weather this week is anything but spring-like, though: cold and snow! I swear it snows wherever I happen to be for spring break. I need to go somewhere tropical some year to get away from it!
