This is one of my favorite springtime tricks when the temps climb above 60 weather in the afternoon, but it’s still cold in the mornings: I go sans tights, but wear tall boots to keep my legs warm. The combo also happens to make my legs look really long, which I’m not mad about.

You might recognize this dress from my recent trip to Napa. I’m all for garments that are equally appropriate for drinking wine as for billing hours, as those are my two main activities.

Yeah, so I really don’t remember what day I wore this, or what the weather was, or if I did anything special. I just know it was probably cold and I went to work. None of that matters at the moment because I’m on my much-anticipated vacation in Northern California. In case you haven’t been following along on Instagram, we spent the weekend in San Francisco, and we’ll be in the Napa Valley for the rest of the week. I wore a dress without tights today, you guys. Meanwhile, back in Indiana, it’s about 10 degrees. Sorry not sorry, Hoosier friends. I can’t hear your complaints over the sound of corks popping.

Vacation recaps are (of course) forthcoming, but in the meantime, enjoy this much more Indiana-ish outfit!
