just a little spring

The sun is peaking out which just makes everything feel like spring. The crocuses are blooming and everything is just starting to green up. I finally feel like I can pull out things that expose my legs and not freeze my little bum off. 

I tromped through my woods with my dogs and my tripod for these shots. I enjoyed being able to not feel like I had to quickly take photos this day, I felt like I had all the time in the world to set up and capture these moments without losing fingers to frostbite. My hair is also getting a little too 'fluffy' for my liking. Time for a trim!!! ~Outfit Details~ Jacket: Vintage Thrifted | Chicago Shirt and Skirt and Bag: Vintage Thrifted | Hope's Outlet Shoes: Vintage Thrifted | Salvation Army Watch: Michael Kors

purple and plaid and spots oh my

I have been trying to discover new photo locations around town. The old industrial area in Holland MI is now my new favorite place to find fun walls and little corners. Despite the stares from smoke breakers i love going to this area. It is peaceful and quiet and during my lunch its exactly what I need. 
I have also been watching a lot of Mad Men. I have never watched the show before but knew I should based on my obsession with late 50's and 60's fashions. I have found so much inspiration! Too bad the weather makes me still just want to put on leggings under jeans and like 7 giant sweaters. This day I found my fashion groove and channeled a bit of the 60's, 70's and now.  I will keep exploring and finding new locations and hopefully finding enough inspiration to get dressed in this under 20 degree weather. Keep warm kiddos.

that one shirt and skirt. day one-hundred-fifty-nine.

I love taking the dogs out to do photos with me. I think they like it too! Right before work I love to take them out and wear them out so they can just rest all day! Its been quite awhile since I have worn this shirt, but it went so nice with this skirt it seemed only right.

dress like a bruise. day one-hundred-fourteen.

I didn't really realize until after I took the photos and looked at them (so the next day...) That i look like a bruise. My bruises are always purple/black/grey and then turn yellow (so i guess i am missing the yellow but...). This was an outfit i wore to go work for hours on my interview project at the library. Sometimes I just like to work not at home (it gets really old and you get easily distracted). So i ventured out in the cold to the Library. I am a library regular so my going to the library is nothing new, its just i normally don't spend significant periods of time there. It was interesting to say the least.....
