I love spring, so I thought I’d share an Outfit of the Day on how to mix and match for family pictures and jump into spring, even when the temperatures aren’t quite there yet! Cheers! xoxo – EM
Add a mint scarf or statement necklace to make your warm soft sweaters more springy!
Pair your sweater or vest with a purple shirt or sweater that makes you think spring flowers. Just adding soft touches with floaty materials like a light weight scarf can make an outfit feel more springy!
Add a vest to dress and dress pants to dress it up for work, or jeans and a sweater to dress it down for weekend wear!
Short sleeved sweaters over long sleeved jersey tops dress an outfit up just enough for a trip around town. Add a statement necklace and you’ve just turned your outfit up another notch! Add a great pair of mint heals and you’re ready for a night out on the town!

Clearly, I enjoy a cropped sweater, since this is the third time I have posted one in the last couple of months. Why? Because you really can wear them in many ways that are flattering for all body types, even if you are shy about actually showing anything close to your stomach.
Last week, I did a bonus outfit of a cropped sweater of a button down shirt I wore to a meeting. This week, it was my shopping outfit. Functional, stylish, and wearing a number of trends from this spring!
While I think your reusable shopping bags are also a total must, really I decided I wanted to wear my overalls. The weather is still chilly in Maine (notice the shorts), so the cropped sweater was the perfect combo to keep me warm, while still showing just a touch of skin. I love this purple stripped one too, but combining it with overalls helped me to feel less self conscious, while still playing with fashion trends. I paired it with a white cross body bag for function, and an awesome pair of chunky ankle boots, which give me height without the problems of trying to shop in a more narrow heel.
Also, since this early morning shopping trip did not involve me washing my hair beforehand, I did a great upside down french braid as a way to contain my second day hair!
Happy Monday!

I love red pants! They are great in the fall, they are jazzy at Christmas time, and they are appropriate in February for Valentine’s Day. But I like to stretch the length of my red pants by pairing them with something that resembles spring in Maine – boots and a whimsy top!
A soft, sweet polkadot sweater paired with red corduroy skinny pants and black leather motorcyclesque boots! Unfortunately the red pants will soon see retirement for the summer as warmer weather comes our way, but spring in Maine is rainy so pair your bold colors with something soft and springy and ride out the season in style.

Anything work related, other than actually going into the OR, in my life involves very professional attire. It is easy to get into a very plain-Jane rut of attire when you are limited, and always trying to represent yourself well. I recently attended an anesthesia conference, where I was clearly representing myself to colleagues, future employers, and my profession to the outside world. I try to look polished without loosing my own sense of trendy style.
For this particular conference, I chose to rock the black and white trend that has been very popular this spring.
My base was a pair of tuxedo pants that I bought recently. They have an almost shiny finish, with the matte stripe down the side and a clean fit.
I added a chiffon black and white shirt, which softens the fit of the tuxedo pants. Its a loose fit, that drapes well.
A pair of black patten leather pumps blend into the leg of the tuxedo pants, making my legs look even longer.at mil ring in colors that complimented my outfit, and some diamond jewelry that didn’t over power the effect of my clothes, which I wanted to speak for themselves!

After shoes, bags are probably my next biggest culprit for trends I just can’t help but give into. I love having a stylish stack of bags to choose from. After all, the perfect bag can really make an outfit, and a change of season always means some great new bags! So what are my favorite bags for this spring?
Bucket Bags
Perhaps what I am most excited about this year, and the bag I have already bought to be my spring go to! Bucket bags have a great effortless, casual feel to them do to their relaxed structure. This season so, there are no limits. They are coming in great colors, textures, and even prints. Any bucket bag that speaks to your personal style will put you ahead this spring!
Circles
Circles were a very popular shape this year on the runways, and why not? They break the traditional square or rectangular shape which can seem so…stiff! Don’t get my wrong, rectangles are still a trend (especially upright ones), but why not step outside your comfort zone and try a great circle clutch.
Floral
Nothing says spring quite like a floral print, and my very feminine side loves it. This year, floral patterns came in all colors and styles. From the subtle Mulberry bag, which hinted on the trend for neural colors, to bolder prints like Valentino and Fendi. Go big, and find a great floral and let a little bit of your girlie side come out.
Fringe
Fringe has been here for a while, and it doesn’t look like it is going anywhere! Suede is a huge trend for spring, and a safe bet this spring, but also feel free to reach out to other fringe shapes and styles. This Armani bag is particularly drool worthy.
Handles
Don’t worry, cross body bags and shoulder bags haven’t left us, but top handle bags are certainly making their presence be know this spring. Even clutches with great side handles seemed to appear everywhere! Not quite ready to make the switch (or give up a free hand), try a bag with handles and a strap like Alexander Wang. It will give you the style, without loosing the convenience.
Two Bags
Big bags, and little bags both made some very bold statements this season. Can’t quite decide? Go with both! I love the convenience of a large tote, where I can put everything from my kindle to a first aid kit, but the tiny bags are just so adorable, and sometimes just so much easier…this season, quiet a few designers encouraged us not to choose, and just carry both!
Enjoy a fresh spring bag, and warmer days to come! xoxo – S

This is the outfit I wore to my Maine Home and Design Fashion Shoot! Although their photos will be so much better then mine, here is a little peak for what I think, as an Architect is hot for spring!
White is IN!
Bold blue colors with A-symetrical Hem Lines
A classy pair of pointy shoes – oh and YELLOW – I’m not wearing it, but it’s my fashionable office accessory!
Again – JEWEL TONES _ I chose blue because it’s a good color for me, but think bright for spring!
I love the the architectural nature of this hem – paired with white pants so it really pops!
And who can forget a great pair of heels! That makes any outfit classy! Keep them closed toe for work – so get funky with the point, the heel, or the fabric!
Keeping it classy – Until next week – xoxo – Em
