A few things:
1. I’m back from Florida! It was a great trip, and I can’t wait to share stories and photos! The only negative was that my return flights were awful, and at one point I found myself sprinting “Home Alone”-style through Atlanta International Airport to make my connection. But I made it, and was greeted by 50-degree weather in Chicago. (And by Mitch and Noodle, hehe.) Not bad!
2. Can you see how little snow we have left in comparison to yesterday’s photos?! (I purposefully took these in the same location just to show you the improvement!) I’m so happy. Forty- and 50-degree temperatures are projected for the next week, and I feel like a new person. Yesterday, I even went on a cleaning spree, which entailed me filling up the bathtub and giving the living room rug a good scrub-down with Pantene Pro-V. Sure, I know I probably should have used some sort of carpet cleaner. But our apartment smells great.
3. Can you spot the glasses photo? I don’t love wearing my specs, mostly because I hate not having peripheral vision, but also because I look sleepy in them. And I’m convinced my ears are crooked and that no amount of tinkering can straighten the darn frames. (Hi, Dad! Yes, I’m crazy. You don’t need to call.) But I spent the majority of Monday’s flights in my glasses (“Dark Havana”), and I figured I’d share that I’m looking to try a new pair! Does anyone have any experience with high index lenses from Warby Parker? I hear they’re incredibly reasonable compared to Lens Crafters and the like, and that they have less of a “funhouse effect” for those with super strong prescriptions. (Read about my struggle here.) I’d love to hear your thoughts! Right now, I’m lovin’ the Watts.
4. My apologies for my blueish knees. It was actually in the high 50s when Blair snapped these photos yesterday, but I have something called Raynaud’s Disease, which makes me look cold all the time. It’s really lovely, haha.
5. How perfect are these New York City, New Jersey and Nantucket bracelets from Alex & Ani? I almost cried when I opened the package. :) Now I have a little bit of home wherever I go!

Yikes! This is real life. ;)
It has finally warmed up in Cincinnati too and I couldn’t be happier! I love that blue sweater on you and you look adorable with the glasses haha!

Prep on a Budget
Your outfit is beautiful, loving the skirt! I need one like that, which can be dressed up or down, Winter or Summer! I know what you mean about not having peripheral vision haha! The most annoying thing for me is having to switch to sunglasses constantly in the Summer and being blind when i do that. I know I need to get some prescription ones but I can never decide on a style haha. My glasses are from Rayban and I love them, they are slightly cat-eyed and were very reasonably priced :)
I love that you washed our rug with shampoo haha, too funny! And girlfriend, don’t apologize for something like that – you can’t help it! Can’t wait to hear more about your trip :)

The skirt is perfect for spring! Hopefully, the snow days are behind us and lovely weather is here to stay. Since I’m a NY & NJ girl, I love the Alex & Ani bracelets. Happy Wednesday

i love these! so sunny and bright!! and this skirt is amazing, I might need one. I love my Warby Parker glasses, can’t speak to the stronger lenses, but I love how they look. I have the Downing and Rob actually has the Watts! They look awesome!
Beautiful daytime look. I love those super cool leopard heels. :) x Fiona THEDASHINGRIDER.com
Great shoes Kelly! It hit 50 degrees both yesterday and today in New York and I was so happy, there is currently a river of melted snow outside my house… spring is coming!

Your glasses look great and not the least bit crooked. The only suggestion I can make is to avoid ordering online. When you wear a high prescription and high index lenses you need the optical center located over your pupil. That measurement is nearly impossible to get accurate if not face to face. Also, do not get polycarbonate lenses. They have more distortion than plastic high-index. Ok…while I’m at making suggestions…be sure the lenses have anti-reflective coating.
Now…for a confession…prior to being a nurse I worked for LensCrafters for ten years (and another company for 10 years) as a NYS Licensed Optician. Glasses are my wheel house!
I love you in glasses! They’re so cute <3
So adorable! And I think you look precious in your glasses!

I was a -7.5……..after much encouragement from an ophthalmologist coworker I had refractive eye surgery. 20/15. BEST. THING. EVER.
Love the color of your sweater! This post makes me want a white skirt!

I don’t think it’s possible to make a connecting flight in Atlanta without sprinting across the airport! Also, THAT BRACELET. Love it a lot lot lot.
It finally started to warm up in NYC too! Bare legs are back baby!
