may.

After being trapped indoors and under heavy blankets for eternity the past several months of winter, us New Englanders were given the special (and well-deserved) treat of a brilliant first day of May.  I saturated myself entirely in the seventy-degree sunshine-y gloriousness of the day: putting the car windows down, drinking large iced coffees, and, of course, rocking some spring florals to work.

Confession: When I took these shots, I was much more focused on the shoes and did not do much justice to the rest of my ensemble.  To be fair, these little killers are screaming to be noticed, admired, and obviously adored.  I thought that the red added the perfect little pop of color to compliment my gothic floral pants (purchased at H&M) which I paired with a black v-neck top.  I'll admit, I was skeptical when I bought them, the pants that is, because I wasn't entirely sure that they suited my curvy-ish self.  I'm entirely happy with my decision to indulge however; this season's rock n' roll twist on floral was just too good to pass up.  All I needed were a few kick-ass weeks at the gym and the promise of a beautiful day to finally get the confidence to pull this outfit out of the closet.

Not to justify another shopping trip, but I'd like to pair these pants with another bright heel.  My heart will always belong to my reds, but I think a nice pink, yellow, or even mint shoe would make the outfit feel more like spring.

What do you think?  

Wishing you a happy May, wherever you may be!
