The piles of snow have almost completely retreated from my lawn, and I'm definitely feeling spring coursing through my veins.

I said earlier that I love early-spring flowers like crocuses and snowdrops, but I'm more likely to wear crocus colors because I'm a little leery of wearing white. I do, however, have a whole lot of green clothing in my wardrobe, so I figured Why not? and put together this snowdrop-inspired outfit to celebrate yet another sunny, balmy day. 

Just like in the earlier outfit, I'm using a neutral that's also around in the natural world this time of year: this time, it's the mid-browns of sere grass and bare branches instead of grey late-winter skies.I like the pattern contrast of the cream-and-brown tweed and the lattice tights a lot too: the shapes echo each other without being too similar.

What's your favorite springtime fashion inspiration?
