Coaxing in spring

I know NJ isn't the only place that's been having some bonkers weather lately. We went from over 70 degrees one day to snow just a few days later! It's warmed up a touch since then but still chilly in the mid-forty range. I though maybe I'd help things along by giving mother nature some inspiration!

Tank remixed here

Amazingly, it seems I've never worn this cardigan on the blog, even though it's been in my cardi rotation for months. I love the slightly shorter length and puff sleeves, as well as the lower scoopneck.

Cardigan: Nordstrom Rack
Tank: Kohl's
Jeans: F21+
Flats: unknown
Necklace: Accessorize
Ring & Bangle: borrowed

 Add some chunky jewelry - thanks Nicole, for leaving this ring at mi casa, lol! I'm holding it hostage until you return :) - and I'm set to go. This outfit did double duty on Friday to the office, and then out to dinner that night with J and another couple. We went to eat at an Italian restaurant (I ordered the grilled shrimp and risotto with wild mushrooms, yum), then back to the couple's house for coffee and a rousing game of Cranium! Kathy and I were a pretty awesome team but the boys juuuust beat us by thismuch!

Kathy, who's about 6 months pregnant, was going on about how she wanted to find a little white beanie with little ears to put on the baby for photos, but couldn't find one. Clearly, I knew exactly where to look for that sort of thing: Etsy. Here are a few I found:

I want to find the perfect one for her! Which is your favorite??

  4. I have that same tank in that color combo and the purple/teal combo. Love it with the purple, I wear a watermelon sweater with mine.

    I like the first beanie but the second one looks soooo soft, I like it more.
