The Outback

I know we still have a few weeks until the spring equinox, but I don’t think anyone told Northern California that. We’re seeing cherry blossoms in bloom, beautiful blue skies, and temperatures in the 70’s. And I am LOVING it! Today was so gorgeous I couldn’t help baring a little extra skin for the sun to kiss. 🙂

This light-weight sweater is ideal for the winter to spring transition. The heather grey knit looks deceivingly simple from the front with it’s V-neck and mousy color. But from the back it reveals a whole other story… Literally. Abaft the unassuming top is a halter neck with a fun and flirty open back. Today is the perfect weather for an exposed back to bathe in the warmth of the sun.

I coupled the sweater with jean shorts that I made from chopping off the legs of an old pair of capri pants. The unfinished bottoms with my combat boots gives the look a slight Lara Croft feel. Chunky bracelets provide plenty of arm candy to finish things off. How will you style your “out back” tops this spring?

Sweater: Nasty Gal, $21.30 on clearance
Shorts: Guess, (3 years old. I don’t remember the price)
Combat Boots: Target, $17.48 (Originally $34.99)

Lucky that you have such nice weather! It’s still pretty cold here around 30 degrees but I would definitely wear that top when it gets a bit warmer! Love the detailing on the back, I’ll probably wear it tugged in a full skirt (maybe floral?) Have a great day J. Frost! 🙂 xo~ Lena

I haven’t been in 30 degree weather in a loooong time! LOL. Great idea about tucking the top into a full skirt! Be on the lookout for that in a upcoming post. 😉 xo!
