Cropped Girl

This cropped maroon (oxblood?) colored sweater has almost been donated many, many times. But I just can't call it quits just yet. It always talks to me and says "I know I look so 90's but I can also be rocker chic too!" So I listen to it. Each time. Yes, cropped sweater, I hear what you're saying.

I hope you are having a great Wednesday! I can't stop dreaming about spring! Maybe that is why I gravitated towards this blinding yellow truck. Ahh...if only it was as warm as sunshine...

Proper Debut Girl

I mentioned before that after a very long hunt I finally received the brown ankle boots I bought with the Christmas money I squirreled away. I haven't given them a proper debut here so I finally got around to it. We have had such crappy weather with snow and then the salt that has to go down after the snow that I've not been able to wear them a whole lot. But here they are and I love them!

Dress Up Girl

Jacket: BB Dakota via Modcloth, Longsleeve: Walmart, Skirt: Kohl's, Heels: Modcloth, Necklace: Vintage

Blame it on cabin fever, blame it on the beauty of the snow or blame it on Valentines Day that is just around the corner but I felt the need to play dress up this week. My cousin and I used to play dress up with my grandmother's clothes when we were little. Hats, long dresses, heels, the works. So since we were snowbound most of this week I decided to make the best of it. This is not my norm because this outfit is not weather appropriate and is completely impractical. But it fit so well with the scenery!
