So tell me girls, am I the only one who feels the need to go barelegged the second the temperature rises above 60? Even if it means wearing very high socks, I am not wearing tights or pants. Success!
Even thought it’s gotten cooler since I took these pictures on Thursday, I’m still cheered at Spring’s arrival. In case anyone missed it, yesterday was the official start of Spring! Welcome Spring! I’ve missed you terribly and I’m so glad you’ve come back to visit me. I’ve got so many fun outfits in store for you! Does the thought of warmer weather make anyone else use excessive exclamation points? No, just me? Damn.

I hope everyone had a great weekend and a not-too-terrible Monday. I took a much needed timeout this weekend and stuck pretty close to home. My biggest adventure was yesterday when I headed downtwon to watch my friend Nick finish the NYC Half Marathon. Well, he was faster then I thought (CONGRATS AGAIN!), and so I was late. Whoops. The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing and recharging. I feel like I hadn’t fully recovered from all the traveling I did last month, I still haven’t even managed to pull together a photodiary of our Vegas trip and my second foray to San Diego. I had such an amazing time, I feel like that might just deserve a belated photodiary!

I am so jealous! It’s still too chilly in Chicago for bare legs, even if they’re mostly covered by socks. I love the color combo of this outfit- so subtle- and how the socks make a simple look a bit risque.
You should see people on the west coast, they see the sun and the short shorts come out! It’s pretty funny
Love those shoes, yay for warm weather

I definitely got a little excited too when I didn’t have to wear tights last week
I love your thigh highs, they look so cute.
Great outfit! Love the knee highs! Hope you had fun in NYC. xo style, she wrote
Exclamation points are awesome. I use them a lot.
I love those thigh-high socks on you! Although here in Florida, when the temperature gets as low as in the 60′s, that’s when we break out our tights and long-sleeved shirts. That’s COLD to us!
Come take a look inside A Working Mom’s Closet
i wish had been that warm in chicago! love your otk socks and i think i might have to start wearing mine again when it gets above 50 again.
Happy you got a taste of warmer weather even if it was short lived! It looks like you made the most of it in this adorable number. I looooooove that dress, Ashley. Please make a mental note to pack it when you come to SF, okay? Thanks.
Girl, the pants come off when the temp rises.
I love this look…I wish I could pull off tall socks like you can!
Hi Ashley! Very cute look! You rock those knee-high socks! You have no idea how much I want to wear them in Hawaii! But I will be tortured with cat calls and rude looks from people so sadly, I can’t wear them here. I want to see the pictures from your trip so I look forward to it!
xoxoxoo
Oh yes, when the sun is out (it gets way hot here) it is definitely time to get the legs out.
Looking lush girl!

hahah no i do that too all the time, you look awesome with the knee socks.
i cant wait for full summer!
I am not a fan of having to shave my legs, but I did just that when the temps rose last week. I’ve been patiently waiting for spring to get here and I was so glad not to have to put on tights.
welcome spring indeed! i have to get some new items from french connection. love your dress and sunnies.
I definitely don’t go bare-legged for the first few warm days of spring. If I did, I’d still be cold and I’m much happier enjoying the warmth and actually being warm. However, I also don’t look as cute as you do running around in this adorable outfit, so…
Cute outfit! I love the knee highs with those shoes. I’m so jealous you can go bare-legged. It’s snowing where I am right now. Not fair!
Love love the t-strap pumps with the knee high socks. I’m all for bare legs and/or knee high socks (though I live in CA, so it’s definitely warmer here). You look cute!

I’ve tried so hard to be on a no tights/no pants strike, but this weather is so out of control I end up freezing my tookus off! Haha Seriously loving the slouchy fit of those socks though!!
Congratulations! IMO bare legs look and feel better than hose or tights. And as for pants, I’ll leave those to the guys
