Weekend Life....Spring Inspiration (#2)

Spring Inspiration ((#2) 

Glorious spring days: the beauty of vibrant fuzzy yellow mimosa blossoms against a clear blue sky; the scent of daphne in the still of early morning; the prospect of only another month (or two if we are unlucky!) of wearing multiple layers....in the meantime wear a neon yellow bra under a sweater to remind of summer's approach; golden afternoon light on sandstone buildings; a pop of red (a la Gala with her gorgeous scarlet bag) or stunning top to bottom suiting (Erin, who can do no wrong); tiny robins - my favorite bird - building their nests (I can't begrudge the birds that have decided my hanging basket makes wonderful nesting material....I just rather wish they would leave my geraniums alone though! They only just survived the winter frosts.).

Love these two girls....I kept bumping into them together (and neglected to get their names).

Love the masculine suiting on the girl on the right and the cropped length of her trousers. And how happy and fun are her socks/tights?
