Monthly Musings: March 2024- All About Spring Fashion

 

 

 

Hi All!  Patty and I are so glad you are here!  We hope you will join us by answering these questions and linking up with us below!  Here we go...

1. What Is Your Go-To Spring Outfit?

Anything with Lilly!

2. Favorite Spring Fashion Pieces?

Colorful Palazzo Pants- Again More Lilly- Bright Colors and even a nice Black and White Outfit

3. Do You Change Up Your Handbag for Spring?

Yes, I will bring out my bright crossbodys and also use my straw cross body and my LV Neverfull in Damien Azur

4. When Do You Bring Out Your Opened Toe Shoes?

 

 Usually around St. Patty's Day...we have made a tradition to wear open toe shoes at our FF St Patty's Dinner

 

 

5. Favorite Spring Scents?

 

 Pleasures by Estee Lauder for sure-when I smell it, it means that spring is here!

 

 

6. White After Easter?  After Memorial Day?  Heck Anytime I Want!

 It depends...if we are talking shoes then Memorial Day..white jeans?  Usually in April/May...sometimes I use the rule "anytime I want" if I really want to wear something and I feel the weather is cooperating :)

 

 

7. Favorite Ways To Add Spring To Your Wardrobe When The Weather Is Not Cooperating? 

Layers that you can easily remove and bringing back all of the bright colors- yeah!

8. Do You Change Up Your Makeup Routine for Spring?

 

Nope

9. How Do You Transition Your Wardrobe for Spring?

 

Bringing back the open toe shoes, bright colors and all the Lilly!  

10. Favorite Spring Accessories/Jewelry?

 

I really don't change up my jewelry for the seasons- I wear my DY Cross along with my Lola Pendants around my neck.  I have a Lola Bracelet with a Pendant as well as a DY Cross Bracelet and my Apple Watch on the other wrist.  I do change up my bands and bring out brighter color ones for the spring and summer.  For accessories, I love my LV Damien Azur Neverfull and my sunglasses- either Blenders or Raybans.

 

 Can't wait to read all about your spring fashion...excited to get some inspiration!

What's Up Wednesday: March 2024

 

Hi Friends!  It is time to share what's up with us and it is the end of March- YEAH!!!!

 

Without further ado, I am going to answer the questions below...

 

 

What We're Eating This Week

 

It is going to be one of those weeks where we are cleaning out before Easter so that means leftovers from this weekend (Chicken Piccata, Shrimp Piccata, Chicken Fingers, Salad and all types of party food)

What I'm Excited About

 

Easter Weekend Traditions

 

 

What I'm Watching/Reading

 

Season 2 of "Life and Beth" on Hulu

New Series To Me "Apples Never Fall" on Peacock

(Based on Lianne Moriarty's Book- so good!)

"Abbott Elementary"- it makes me laugh so hard!

and we are up to Season 6 of "Blue Bloods"

and my two books for March were

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

A beautiful and distinguished family.
A private island.
A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy.
A group of four friends—the Liars—whose friendship turns destructive.
A revolution. An accident. A secret.
Lies upon lies.
True love.
The truth.

 

I was really disappointed with this one.  Very slow.  I probably will still read the 2nd book in the series but not right away 

and Freida McFadden comes through again!  Another amazing thriller!

 

Two women. An office filled with secrets. One terrible crime that can't be taken back.

Dawn Schiff is strange.

At least, everyone thinks so at Vixed, the nutritional supplement company where Dawn works as an accountant. She never says the right thing. She has no friends. And she is always at her desk at precisely 8:45 a.m.

So when Dawn doesn't show up to the office one morning, her coworker Natalie Farrell―beautiful, popular, top sales rep five years running―is surprised. Then she receives an unsettling, anonymous phone call that changes everything...

It turns out Dawn wasn't just an awkward outsider―she was being targeted by someone close. And now Natalie is irrevocably tied to Dawn as she finds herself caught in a twisted game of cat and mouse that leaves her wondering: who's the real victim?

But one thing is incredibly clear: somebody hated Dawn Schiff.

I won't be able to attend book club this month- My first one ever not attending but life is just too full and busy for me right now between work and family commitments PLUS Holy Week this week.  Anyway, the group is reading " Zero Days" by Ruth Ware

 

What I'm Listening To

A whole mix of everything- the usuals plus some new Olivia Rodrigo

 

What I'm Wearing

Well I have been slacking with taking pics but you can take my word for it- workout clothes most of the week- business outfits for meetings and networking events and dressed up for Les Mis- wore a dress every night and black leather pants and a sweater one night when it was extra chilly (yes it's spring and I don't want to talk about it!)

Loving this rain jacket from Athleta- one of my favorite colors of all time and perfect for the spring!

 What I'm Doing This Weekend

 

Preparing for Easter- Living Stations of the Cross on Friday Night- Cooking and Baking on Saturday with Mimi- then celebrating Easter at mass and our home with the fam

What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month

Eva's Play, Softball Season and NYC for a few days over April Vacation to see Diana in her last Dance Comp of the season!

 

 What Else Is New?

I think I covered it

Favorite Recent Amazon Purchase

 

A dress for Eva for concerts/etc.  Just adorable on her!

 So...what's up with YOU? :)
