who's tired of winter black?

It’s that time of the year to start adding some brighter colors and lighter fabrics to the daily routine. Here are some easy pieces that might help the great transition from winter grays and blacks into a pretty spring/summer work wardrobe (all from J.Crew):
Everyday Cardigan, $88 in bright lilac (item #25135)
Tissue Tier Tank, $39.50 in light pewter (item #23338)
Vintage Silk Scarf, $58 in lilac (item #24826)
Festival Faceted Necklace, $34.50 in sandstone (item #25155)

This cardigan wears like a jacket and is great for those offices that have over-active air conditioners (WHY MUST THEY DO THIS???). The tissue tank is made work appropriate with an additional element such as a light scarf or a sweater. It is super soft and the texture is amazing. This necklace will add just a touch of sparkle, but you can wear it more frequently because it’s not too much of a statement piece. Another benefit of this necklace is that it wears quietly - meaning, people won’t hear you coming and going all day long. The scarf is just a really beautiful fabric that will help reflect a very flattering color onto your face which is a great way to look less tired!.

A touch of lilac along with soft, comfortable clothing and a pretty sparkle will certainly help raise your mood on the Monday after daylight savings. Well, that and maybe some warm tea or coffee.
