Welcome to Spring on The Mod Little Melanin!

Happy First Day of Spring! Here's a look that I've been teasing on my personal Instagram page for the past few days that you'll be sure to love as you transition your closet to Spring!

Early Spring weather can be a bit chilly still! If you're like me and love to wear dresses year-round, layering a top underneath your dresses can be a quick fix to help you survive the breezy weather! For this look, I am wearing a blue, spaghetti strap dress found at Charlotte Russe for only $1.99. If you look closely at the detail of this dress, it is more aligned for nighttime wear, than daytime wear. It features a low v-neckline, and an open back. To make the dress more suitable for daytime wear, I layered a navy blue turtleneck (also purchased for $1.99 from Charlotte Russe) underneath! Remember, layering doesn't have to be solely for warmth, it also can be a great addition for making revealing pieces a bit more modest, and is an alternative option to wearing a tank underneath a dress or shirt.

My accessories for this look were kept to a mininum! I simply added a pair of pearl and gold hoop earrings, and added my gold sunnies from Forever 21. I know I am wearing sunglasses in just about every blog picture I post, but I have a sunglass collection and sunglasses can truly make or break an outfit. To me, sunglasses are more than just protection from the sun, they are as important of an accessory as a necklace or a pair of earrings. My booties have appeared on The Mod Little Melanin on numerous occasions and are from Target.

Med School Mondays return to The Mod Little Melanin next Monday! Stay tuned!
