穿搭日記：如何把春日的蕾絲穿得甜美酷勁？

Lace Dress in Spring 波士頓的春天陰晴不定，背景還留有殘雪，我卻已經等不及穿上春裝了。

Spring in Boston is cold, rainy and sometimes brings snow. Weatherwise, wearing a spring lace dress without a coat is probably not a good idea. But I just can't wait to wear. 

春日的蕾絲洋裝 

Lace Dress by Sister Jane. Sister Jane 今年春季給我滿滿的良好印象，除了上次這件尖領混色毛呢針織上衣，還有台灣官網這件復古短領的蕾絲洋裝。一直以來我都沒有特別鍾愛太甜膩的蕾絲元素，但是我喜歡這件黑白交錯的紋路，讓洋裝多了一點個性；抓皺的肩線和短短的立領帶入了些許古典氣息，內襯是極為清淺的藍。S號的腰線和下擺穿在哈比人身上我都非常剛好，完全不用修改。

因為下雨下雪的關係搭配了防滑的Hunter雨鞋，順勢揹了同色系的劍橋包（官網的春天新色好美）。下著四月雪的波士頓，隨著日照漸長，揮別淒慘3、4點就開始天黑的冬季，春天正式來臨。

印象中好像從小到大都習慣留有瀏海的髮型，額頭少了瀏海總覺得很沒安全感，照鏡子怎麼看都不對勁。前陣子忙著找工作適應新環境，沒有多餘心思修剪頭髮，不知不覺間蓄長了瀏海，順理成章往後梳覺得梳清爽許多。就這樣用新髮型暫時跟過去的自己道別，迎接煥然一新的生活。

Lace Dress in Spring  

Lace Dress by Sister Jane. In addition to the Sister Jane Tweed Blouse which I reviewed last time, I also love this black and white cotton lace stripe dress from Sister Jane's early spring collection. I have never been a fan of lace design, but I found myself fond of this lace dress very much. The short stand-up collar and gathered shoulders bring a distinct vintage vibe. Fully lined with the lightest blue, the dress is designed with a higher waist and the feminine A-line silhouette. Yet, the black and white dress adds the rebellious edge to this delicate lace dress. I'm 5' and size S fits me very well. No alteration needed at all.

I styled this dress with a pair of black rain boots as the spring weather in Boston is quite rainy. I purchased this black backpack from Cambridge Satchel last year, and they recently have the lovely pastel spring colors that you can take a look at here. Although it seems that winter refuses to leave New England and still brought some snow last week, spring has made its way here somehow. We now have more daylight, and can finally say goodbye to the dark winter. 

I have had bangs since I was little. Growing up, I either had full bangs or had my hairs parted on the same side with eyebrow-length bangs. It means that I have never had a dramatic change of my hair style. And in the past few months, I had been busy with job hunting and had no time taking care of my bangs. My bangs started to grow out so I decided to pull and pin bangs back as I didn't have time for fussy styling. Without knowing it, I made it the weird in-between stages. I now love this clean and new pulled back look. 

波士頓公共圖書館

因在美國獨立戰爭開啓關鍵性的第一役，波士頓是美國的誕生地，所以走進這座全美國第一座圖書館感覺特別有意義。圖書館比鄰最熱鬧的 Copley Square 和充滿各大品牌時尚櫥窗的 Newbury Street，鬧中取靜，是我很喜歡的城市空間。和之前造訪的紐約比起來，紐約市立圖書館有「欲望城市」婚禮、和「明天過後」等電影加持，豪華氣派；波士頓圖書館秀氣典雅，且電影「驚爆焦點」也有幾幕著名的館內場景噢！

Boston Public Library

For its key role in the American Revolution, Boston has been known as the "Cradle of Liberty." Also, the Boston Public Library is the first free municipal library in the world, it made the library uniquely meaningful. Located adjacent to the chic shopping destination Copley Square and Newbury Street, Boston Public Library is not only a beautiful historical building, but also a great spot to relax amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.

Comparing to the grand and magnificent New York Public Library where I visited last time, Boston Public Library is delicate and beautiful. New York Public Library has been featuring in lots of films, like the famous The Day After Tomorrow or Sex and the City movie wedding scene. And here in Boston, the library was featured in the Oscar-winning movie Spotlight!
