How would you describe your style?

Moody…it all depends on my mood. Today I’m feeling really tired of winter and being cold all the time, so I wanted to wear something green and with flowers to remind me of Spring!

Why we spotted her:

Despite the dreary weather, Merrill chose to show her optimistic side by wearing an outfit that integrates both forecast-functional elements, as well as bright, playful pieces that add a pop of “Spring” to the mix. By wearing a blossomy underneath a dark coat, Merrill shows off just the right amount of color, and avoids looking like she’s obvlivious to the Winter weather.  Her eye-catching purse is a completely different pattern than her dress, but only a sliver of each pattern is visible, so she still looks adorable! The chunky scarf and substantial-looking boots are the perfect accessories to keep Merrill’s look grounded.
