In Bloom // Floral Midi Skirt + Oversized Blazer

Wednesday, April 3, 2019

Nyc fashion blogger Kathleen Harper's spring street style
The birds are chirping, the sun is shining, and it's finally floral season! In celebration of the flowers blooming IRL, I'm rocking my new favorite skirt with one of my old favorite blazers. It's a winning combo I just can't get enough of.

As soon as I added this gem of a Tibi skirt to my cart earlier this year, I dreamed up tons of ways I could style it for both spring and summer. Now that the ice has officially thawed, it's time to let the experimenting begin! You've already seen me wearing it on my IGS twice now, but don't get tired of it yet because there's a lot more where this came from.

Midi and maxi skirts are having a major moment this year, and I couldn't be more excited. These babies are flattering, comfortable, and super versatile. Just add flowers and you've got a match made in springtime heaven.

Spring in New York is beautiful and energizing, but springtime in Paris? THAT is really something. I'm jetting off to France and Belgium later this week and I can't wait to share my adventures here and on the 'gram. And if you're wondering if I'm packing this fabulous skirt, I have one word for you: duh ;)

Greener Pastures // square neckline + statement earrings

Green is the color of springtime — it's refreshing, charming, and upbeat. This year especially, shades of green are abundant, as it reigned supreme during Fashion Month. In emerald, the hue is downright irresistible. Pair it with pinks, and you have got yourself a LEWK.

Square necklines are another major trend this year. I love how flattering they are on every body, and how they instantly add a fresh and modern twist to even the simplest looks.

I spent this past weekend in LA for work, and let me tell you, the sunshine felt incredible. It reminded me just how badly us East Coasters need warmer temps. Luckily, it's been starting to feel like spring here in NYC, and I've been taking full advantage. Greener pastures are on their way!

Call of The Wild // leopard skirt + leather jacket

Nyc fashion blogger Kathleen Harper's spring 2019 outfit ideas
For the second week in a row, I'm posting about leopard and leather — this killer combo is just that good. And with Spring officially here, I'm particularly loving this look for easing into warmer weather. After all, when the wild calls, you answer!

Classic with a 'tude, I love how animal print gives major edge to this pencil skirt. Same goes for my leather jacket. While a black blazer may appear more office-friendly, leather adds a rebellious twist that's chic and unexpected.

Black boots would have been the easy choice. Instead, I love how refreshing and modern these white booties feel. They also project major spring vibes.

 I think my fingers and toes are finally starting to defrost... It's still chilly here in NYC, but at least there's a light at the end of the tunnel! Spring, we see you, we feel you, and we love you. You didn't come a minute too soon!
