Happy Monday and I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend! For those of you in the U.S., I hope the exhaustion you’re probably feeling from the time change passes quickly, although I’m a bit jealous because here in Italy we still have another two weeks until we spring forward (come on, Daylight Savings, I’m ready for longer days!) After a week’s worth of cold, rainy weather, it was finally sunny and springlike in Rome over the weekend, which was definitely a mood-lifter. I felt bad for my parents because it was so gloomy for practically their entire vacation with us! We had a great visit with them but as usual, it was sad to say goodbye since we hardly ever get to see them anymore. Even though their visit was short, I’m thankful they were able to have their first Italian vacation while we are living here and experience a taste of life in Rome.
As of late, my go-to uniform has been an oversized sweater with jeans: it’s quick, easy, and works well for the between-seasons time when it’s chilly, but warm enough to go without a heavy coat. H&M has been knocking it out of the park lately with cute sweaters at an affordable price point, so I’ve been stocking up (I linked a couple more pink options below from their site). 
To spice up an otherwise ordinary outfit, I like to add statement accessories: this croc-embossed handbag, fringe booties, and oversized sunnies do the trick!
**SALE ALERT!!** There are some great online spring sales currently underway, and I definitely took advantage of the ones at J. Crew and Ann Taylor. Check out my top picks below (but don’t delay, because the sales will be ending soon!) Happy shopping!
