Spring is almost here! So, I have assembled my capsule wardrobe for the spring 2024 season. I am keeping my bottoms classic and simple with black trousers, and classic cuts of denim, as well as flare jeans. For my tops I am keeping things comfortable, the spring season looks fairly casual with the exception of one formal event. I will wear a black cocktail dress from my closet for that!

I am incorporating the color of the year, peach! This lightweight sweater will be perfect for foggy spring days and the mild temperatures we are expecting. I also plan to add fun pops of color with handbags and tops in green and blue. Love!

Of course, I am keeping my accessories timeless and simple. I love this silver bracelet and this classic black belt. They go with everything!

View from Twin Peaks

It was a beautiful day in the city last weekend, so we started our morning at the deYoung Museum. After enjoying “Fashioning San Francisco,” exhibit, we went to Mel’s by USF for a 1950’s inspired lunch complete with milkshakes and a vanilla coke. I highly recommend the chicken soup and the hamburgers. They have been a favorite of mine from Mel’s since I was a teenager!

After lunch, we headed up to Twin Peaks to check out the views. Can you believe I have never been to the top of Twin Peaks before? I even lived up thee after graduating from college but never made the trek up to the top. It was definitely something I needed to do! The views were beautiful. You can see all the way around the bay depending on where you are standing. The photo below shows the view towards Marin, and the one above shows the view towards downtown San Francisco. It was really pretty!

If you are local, and like me, haven’t been to the top of Twin Peaks, I highly recommend playing tourist and going up there! The view is amazing, and it really is something we should all do; especially when we are local! haha

Finers crossed this beautiful spring weather becomes the norm, and the storms dissipate. Happy almost-spring!

Thanks for stopping by!

Ladies who lunch and boba

outfit: earrings / striped sweater (currently on sale) / black shoulder bag / spring nail polish / black jeans / black loafers /

Oooooh! My favorite sweater is currently on sale! Love that! It also comes in a fabulous blue hue. Definitely check it out online here or in store.

I wore this cozy sweater to meet my friend Dawn from Fashion Should be Fun for lunch and boba at Valley Fair. We enjoyed yummy pasta from Eataly and then grabbed some boba from Pink Pink Tea at Valley Fair. I tried their cheese foam grape tea for the first time and it was so good! Definitely a new favorite!

Can we chat about these black loafers for a minute? Ever since I started getting planter fasciitis pain, it has been hard to wear shoes without any support, as well as shoes I cannot fit my orthotics inside. My friend Rita once mentioned a brand called Vionics. I decided to take a chance and order a pair of shoes from them, and I am so glad I did! Vionics shoes have removable orthotics inside, I don’t even need to swap them for the ones I got from my doctor. The arch support is perfect, and I can walk for miles in these shoes! One thing to note, they run a little big so I should have ordered a half size down. I know for next time!

Be sure to check out MargaretOLeary.com to see all the beautiful sweaters on sale!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for a full review of Vionics shoes in March.
