It feels like we've been waiting all year for this moment (okay, maybe we have been). But with April and its miserable showers behind us, May might be our chance at some real warm weather. And frankly, it's about time.
Though the temperatures haven't necessarily been cooperating, we've been full-speed ahead on prepping our spring wardrobe: We've embraced colour drenching, we've upped our accessory game, and we've even put our fear of wearing white behind us. Basically, we're more than prepared for spring — er, summer — to commence.
But for those who haven't been bookmarking high-waisted bathing suits and cat-eye sunglasses for the past few months, we've rounded up 28 outfits (one for every day of the month), to fully inspire your summer selves.
