J.Crew Hat, Cupcakes and Cashmere Top (in black and ivory) and Shorts, Vintage Chanel Bag, Topshop Heels

Head to toe black isn't something that typically makes me think of spring, but I love the look of it with this breezy eyelet top-and-short set (which you can buy as separates). In classic white, eyelet has more of a boho, beachside, Mexican vacation type of feel. In black, it suddenly feels like a downtown, city look - especially when dressed up with simple heels, a fresh red lip, and a chain bag.
