Cuse Closet: Dreaming and dressing for spring

Cuse Closet peeks inside the staff's wardrobes to find out where we're going and how good we look getting there.

Lydia's dreaming of spring

In honor of the warmer weather, I decided to throw on a spring-y pastel purple dress. When I say “warmer”, I mean 35 degrees Fahrenheit, which is still pretty cold if you’re not from these northern parts, so I put some wool tights in the mix. 

To jazz it up (…yes, I did just say “jazz it up”…), I put on my most obnoxious of scarves: a monogrammed Fendi scarf. Monograms have a serious tendency to look tacky and showy, but I think that if you tone it down with a simple outfit, the tackiness can translate to being somewhat stylish and ironic. I finished it off by adding a simple silver necklace and loose white button-down that wouldn’t distract from or clash with my gaudy scarf.
