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.

I love all the spring colors starting to hit store shelves! Chanel’s spring nail polish is on route to me, so stay tuned for my review coming up very soon. Love!

Shades of green, yellow, blue and pink are hot for spring, and not just on clothing! We are seeing these happy hues on handbags too. Look for the anonymous handbag as we move into spring in neutral hues, black, yellow, pink, blue, and green.

Continue to invest in your wardrobe. Classic clothing which transcends trends is what’s hot now, and well into the future. After all, they are investments, not fleeting trends. Love that!
