entrenched in a trench

IMG_4070

Greetings, readers! Another day of warmth and sunshine in Chicago, and I am loving it! I’m having one of those weeks where my thoughts are entrenched in their own space. So, I decided to just ride the wave and be entrenched…in a trench. (I clearly have an addiction to puns, by the way). With another amazing pun, I’m off to my thoughtful place…

“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.” Buddha

Fashion Huntress tips:

1) Tights in warmer weather always throw me through a loop. I feel like “spring” tights “should” be lighter colored tights, though I’m not entirely sure if that is true. If I’m wearing a darker colored dress in spring, then I do like to opt for light tights, personally. However, I would love others’ ideas on this topic!

2) A trench, for me, is a wardrobe essential. As much as I love prints and bold colors, a neutral khaki trench is one of the most versatile coats around. You don’t need to spend a ton to find a nice one. This time of year, trenches are not likely to be on a sale, approaching spring. However, if you are looking for a trench, May and June are likely great times to find them on sale! 

Anyone else have opinions or tips for “spring” tights? Thanks so much for stopping by, readers! I appreciate it so very much!

  4. That trench is beautiful and that dress underneath it is so simple and chic it is a beautiful pairing. I agree on the tights I normally wear more lighter colored tights in the spring and keep my black, browns and blues for fall/winter.

  6. ooh, i love your trench coat! and how you paired it with yellow/orange tights. ❤ you know what this reminds me of, right? Hepburn's Holly Golightly in Breakfast At Tiffany's, of course. 😉

  15. Your trench is gorgeous, and the colour combination of the dress/shoes and tights is awesome. I am not sure I have ever thought about tights colours and seasons, but I realise I must do the same – except that I sometimes use bright tights to lighten a winter outfit. I am seriously wondering if I can get a Banana Republic trench to fit me… Kx

  33. The dress is totally stunning. I agree with you about the tights! I love that you’ve rocked the mustard ones. I know so many people don’t wear them because they think they make their legs look jaundiced but I love them. 😀 AND, nice trench.
