Hey, friends — thanks for stopping by!

Today I'm sharing one of my favorite preppy casual looks for spring. 

I find myself in some variation of this outfit quite often. It's great for weekend wear or for a laid-back office environment. With a few minor tweaks, it could pass in a more conservative office, too!

Rarely will you ever spot me wearing shorts in the summertime. 

I'm much more comfortable sporting a sundress or flow-y skirt. 

Shorts? They're just not my thing.

One downfall of opting for anything but shorts is that I'm often left pocket-less in the warmer months. Finding dresses and skirts with pockets is often a tricky task, and when I come across a piece, I'm usually bummed to discover that the pocket structure and placement adds unflattering "bulk" to the thigh area. And we really can't have that.

So when I find a comfortable, flattering piece, I feel like I've hit the jackpot! 

And then I buy it in every color...

I have this great little J.Crew miniskirt in a handful of colors and fabrics. 

The particular skirt I'm wearing today is the winter wool blend, but I've also picked up a few of the same style in the summer linen blend. My cost per wear on these skirts has got to be incredibly low, because I've had them for a few years (and they've held up impeccably!) and wear them all the time. They're so versatile, they go with everything and are, of course, comfortable.

An all around win I'd say.

On a completely unrelated note, I'm looking into booking a few weeks of travel to Southeast Asia! It's an area that I've been itching to see, and later this year, I'm hoping to have enough time to make it happen. Any suggestions from destinations, to cultural tips to surviving the flight are welcome!
