Last March seems to drag on forever but his March flew by and I can’t believe it’s April. I’m not really complaining though since it’s my birthday month and Central Park is finally starting to bloom. I plan to add a little color to my wardrobe with my favorite spring shades of lilac and lavender. It looks great with grey, navy, black, brown, tan, white, yellow, and probably every every other color. Lilac and lavender also looks great at home.

Add lilac and lavender to your home with this work called April Showers.

Layer this short-sleeve silk-blend crewneck sweater under a blazer or pair it with a printed skirt when it’s warmer.

Upgrade your lounge pants for spring with these dreamy pajama jogger pants in vintage lilac.

I love the lilac rim on this set of two Cosima highball glasses.

I’d pair this pretty floral-appliqué ramie blouse with jeans for a casual look or a flowy skirt for a more romantic vibe. If you’re looking for a less expensive option, I love this Clip Dot Dolman Top.

This lilac poplin maxi dress is perfect for spring if you haven’t lost all your pandemic weight yet.

If you’re not ready for heels but want to look dressed up, these lavender Leather Slingback Flats are perfect.

Happy April!

XOXO,
