Guest Post - A Dash of Details

Hi Ya’ll! It’s Ali from A Dash of Details, and I’m su per excited to be over here on Girls of Lincoln Park today! With GOLP being one of my favorite places to find fashion inspiration, I thought it was only fitting to lsut over some of my favorite Spring finds.

Although Chicago and Kansas City are still experiencing some frigid temperatures, to say I am ready for Spring is a complete understatement. When it comes to SPring, there are four things that come to mind: floral prints, the perfect pair of new sandals, sunnies, and sitting on a patio with friends on a warm, sunny day. I may still be wearing boots and a coat for a little longer, but a girl can dream, right?!

A huge thanks again for having me on GOLP! Be sure to stop on by and say “hello” to a Dash of Details! Xo -Ali
