Today's Outfit: April 12, 2008

Today was the first genuinely warm day of spring. After an extended season of sweater weather and wool coats and boots, I was so excited about being able to wear warm-weather gear that I actually started daydreaming about my outfit yesterday afternoon! (Hey, it was a slow afternoon.) I decided to go with the nautical trend and wear a top that seemed to be a hybrid of sailor girl and Harajuku Lovers. Because it was so bright and, well, nautical, I had to counterbalance the top with black accessories and jeans. The cardigan was supposed to keep me warm in case the weather took a sudden turn; in Vancouver, you never know when that'll happen.
