Happy Wednesday, everyone! I hope you’re having a wonderful week so far!
As for me, I feel incredibly inspired this time of the year. The spring bloom makes me blossom from inside and makes me wish to mimic this spring revival. Spring palette and ensembles with a feminine touch are on my mind all the time. Today’s outfit is a good example of it. Flower print dress, earth color trench coat and apple green pumps represent perfectly how I feel right now.
On another note, despite the charm of this time, there is one thing that is always difficult for me. I'm talking about the transition to bare legs. It not only feels weird at first, but I literally feel cold and uncomfortable with bare legs most of the time until it’s really warm, or even hot, outside. The solution that works great for me is fishnets. It feels like I’m wearing almost nothing even though my legs are covered and I believe this kind of hosiery is not for a night out or carnival only. It can be easily incorporated in a daytime outfit and worn elegantly.
If you’ve never tried it before but are willing to, I suggest paying close attention to two things – color and mesh. Opt for fishnets in neutral shades (nude, brown, etc.), actually the closer to your skin color the better. Also choose small mesh hosiery (the mesh in this case refers to the size of the holes in the hosiery) with small or even tiny holes, that would make it appropriate during the daytime. Finally, pretty please, avoid anything open-toed! One more example of how I do it here.
What about you, my dear inspirers? What do you think about today’s outfit?
How do you feel about fishnets? What are your tips and tricks on transition to bare legs?

I find it hard to dress for this time of year too because I am always cold. Fishnets are a good idea, but I used to be a professional show ice skater and wore them so much that I just can't wear them these days. I love your shoes with your dress and the gorgeous tan trench! This is one great look. xx Pip

Gorgeous dress, love it!! I hate this transition time for legs, I find it's the same with jackets either too cold or too hot, so have to layer and end up carry things around by the afternoon. Have never thought of fishnets, on the distance pictures you couldn't even tell you were wearing them, very good idea xx
