Happy Friday, friends!
It's been a rough week, I even turned my ankle yesterday trying to run it out. Ugh! I'm hoping with a little tlc it gets better quickly.
Before I get to Fashion Friday, I wanted to thank you guys again for all the condolences about Reina. It has been really heartwarming to get so many kind notes.
Our friends dropped off this beautiful new dogwood tree last night for us to plant in the yard to remember her. It was such a sweet gesture and exactly what we needed.
I'm trying to keep moving forward, so bare with me as I try to be as positive as possible. My motto is: fake it until ya make it!
Fashion Friday
Asheville seems to come alive in the spring with blooms everywhere you look. Everyone seems to come out and fill the outdoor seating in downtown restaurants and the sun shines ever so brightly on the mountains which slowly turn shades of fresh green that are nearly impossible to replicate.
I got to have lunch the other day in downtown. It was just warm enough to eat outdoors and embrace the changing seasons.
I wore a simple navy dress with short sleeves and carried a light beige cashmere sweater for the early morning.
I love pairing lightweight infinity scarf's with boots this time of year to make the summer dresses a little more weather appropriate.
This one has dragonflies on it, which is perfect for this time of year!
Since it wasn't quite warm enough for sandals (it has been this week!,) I paired my dress with my favorite Nashville cowboy boots and boot socks.
My legs are still super pale from not seeing the sun for months, but the older I get, the less I care about things like that.
Buy the look:
Navy Dress: Macys, similar here
Scarf: Charming Charlies, similar here
Boot Socks: Altar’d State, similar here
Boots: Twisted X, similar here
What a great time of year for fashion! It can be a lot of fun figuring out the right combination of summer and winter pieces to put together to create that perfect spring look. With a little care though, you can transition into spring with style.
I hope you have a simply amazing weekend! Monday I have some beautiful pictures of the tulips at Biltmore to show you guys. It's going to be a great way to start off a fresh new week.
Thanks to Nicole for the Fit and Fashionable linkup! I'm also linking up with Joylynne Shane for Fashion Friday.
Your turn!
What is your favorite thing to wear in the transitioning season?

You look adorable! I wish that Spring in Vermont meant actual spring, but it hasn't happened yet! I busted out my winter boots and jackets yesterday...GRR!
I'm just catching up and so sorry to hear about Reina. All doggies go to heaven!! <3 Sending you hugs!

I wish you had spring too! I would be going nuts by now. I hope it warms up soon.

I LOVE fun colored light scarves! I love spring! My fav! I am all about the bright colors!
JulieWunder says
Me too! Spring is the best.
Becky Dosier says
A suggestion! When showing clothes why don't you go to some of the local boutiques and feature their outfits and accessories. I am sure you could get a lot of local support doing this.
JulieWunder says
I'd love to do that! If you know any that want to get involved, let me know!
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
That tree is the nicest thing. What a great way to remember your pup :).
Love the outfit, as always. I would love a cute pair of cowboy boots like that. I'm going to Texas in October, so maybe I'll get a legit pair 🙂
JulieWunder says
Thanks so much Nicole. It was such a nice gift.
You should get a pair of boots. They are the best shoes I've ever bought. Worth every penny.
Danyelle Musselman says
Love #fashionfriday! Cute look, I even have the same boot socks 🙂
Lynn Humphreys says
Great accessories! You look lovely!

Love the boots with the dress! So cute. I am excited to get out the spring dresses again.
JulieWunder says
Me too! Fashion is so much easier in dresses- in my opinion!
Susanna @Zealous Mom says
Love the boot topper and boot look with skirts and dresses. You are adorable. I am SO ready for spring fashion. I got a pedicure three weeks ago in anticipation. We're so close.
JulieWunder says
I'm so ready!!! I'm getting a pedi this weekend. So excited!
Bri says
Those boot socks are adorable! I think I need those for my cowboy boots 🙂 Lovely outfit, you look stunning!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Bri! They definitely add some flare to my favorite boots. Thanks for stopping by today and commenting.
Mary Beth Jackson says
I love scarfs! I think that is the easiest accessory to jazz up any outfit! Looking good my friend!
JulieWunder says
Me too! I'm all about them!

Love the dress with the boots.
I know you keep an emphasis on healthy living and practices but one does not have to be a dermatologist anymore to know the damage that the sun can do to your skin. Just wanted to make a follow up comment about your comment about the paleness of your legs.
That dogwood was a very thoughtful gift.
