longing for spring

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

So the other day it was quite warm and beautiful out and I figured I’d make use of it. I did something that I haven’t done in a few months- I bared my legs! I’ve been living in tights since before the holidays, (and don’t get me wrong, I love my tights and will probably continue to keep wearing them until it is absolutely necessary to store them) so it was kinda nice to have a day off from them. Anyway, this outfit and that day had me really pumped on when Spring arrives…not only for the warmer weather but also because I am LOVING all the lace and floral I’ve been seeing lately. I cannot wait to bring out my small collection of floral and lace dresses, blouses, and skirts!

dark heather grey cardigan, pale pink lace shirt, high waisted denim shorts, and brown flat brogues.

have a great week, friends!

black and grey all the way

This is what I wore to go out to breakfast (and dinner) with the family for Great-Grandma Hammers birthday. We all dressed up for this because we took family pictures afterwards (which i’ll be posting in my next entry) It was such a fun day and I ended up really liking my outfit so I decided to take some pictures!

This is probably one of the most comfortable shirts I own. I was hesitant to get it because as much as I love batwing shirts and cardigans, I was never sure if I could pull it off. So far though, I’m loving it and I’m completely comfortable in it. I like that it’s cropped, but not cropped to the point where it’s showing anything I don’t want shown. Next I’ll be on the hunt for a neutral colored striped batwing. The dress pants I got for days like these when I still wanted to look nice, but not put on a dress. It’s the perfect in between item of clothing I own for not too casual and not too dressy days. and my favorite part: The argyle socks are actually tights I was just wearing underneath! They served it’s purpose for keeping me warm as well. The brogues I’ve had for almost three years now, and they’re still going strong.

Stay tuned for family photos!

What I wore to work:

So I just purchased these tights a few weeks ago and I have to say, they’re the boldest pair I own. I also own sparkly tights, floral, and argyle ones but these are my new favorite. I was hesitant to get them, but they were the last pair left and well, they may not be something I’m used to wearing, but I’m always up for trying new things so I went ahead and got them anyway. It can be tricky to wear them without looking too busy, which is why I kept everything else simple. I’ve also been wearing that headband non-stop. It’s one of the only headbands I have that don’t squeeze behind my ears too hard! (a pet peeve of mine)

Jimmy took me shopping the other day (late christmas present) and I got a few really cute things. I’ll be sure to include them in my next post!

first post of 2010!

I hope you all had a happy and safe new years! Wow, I haven’t been very good at keeping up with this blog, my apologies. Anyway, on New Years Eve, I had to work and close out the store, but thankfully my manager made sure we were out of there before midnight so I got to ring in the new year with Jimmy and the family. In fact, most of our time has been spent with family lately and I’m loving it. All of us are living under the same roof now and when I say it’s a crowded house, I mean it in the best way possible. I’ve gotten to bond with my sisters, and with the newest addition to the family, baby Josselyn. She is so precious and I can just stare at her for hours. I’m a big fan of babies in general, but she just melts my heart.

So that’s my update. Here are some pictures from when Jimmy took me on a date to Oak Glen a few days before Christmas. Jimmy and I agreed that as laid back as we are, it’s nice to go out on dates every so often and have some quality alone time together. And although we don’t have a little family of our own yet, when we do, our dates will definitely still be a priority. That boy never fails to make me feel special and loved, so you can imagine how much I enjoy our dates. I am such a lucky girl. =]

And to make up for my lack of posting, I’ll make this a very image-heavy post.


Lunch at Apple Annie’s, and a look at their bakery…

Then we went to the petting zoo

Peacocks are one of my favorite birds ever. It was so fun to see them walking around freely.


favorite favorite FAVORITE moment of the day. Everyone who knows me well knows that deer and fawns are my favorite animal!

And in case you were wondering what I’m wearing…

my coat is from forever21 a few years ago, the circle scarf is from wet seal, and my dress and oxfords are thrifted.

Most of the pictures are of me because Jimmy preferred to be behind the camera snapping shots, but I stole the camera from him a few times and snuck these in. He does makes a dashing cowboy, if I do say so myself.

And us :)

If you actually read through this entire entry and looked at all the pictures, my hats off to you!
