Olive Green Shorts

Shirt: Gabriel Brothers

Shorts: Thirfted

Shoes: Kohl's

Purse: Marc's

I ran out to take these picture just before it began to rain. For once I'm actually wearing shorts, which doesn't happen every day. But these shorts are special. I've had them forever and they have just always stuck with me. The olive green, high waist, and durable material, what isn't to love? If only all more shorts were like these. I feel like I should apologize for my dirty dog, but he's a farm dog who loves to sleep under the porch. What can you do?

Touch of Summer

Cardigan & Skirt & Earrings: Kohls

Top: Forever21

Necklace: Thrifted

Hair, Hair, and Hair. When it comes to summer I start my quest to find the perfect hair style for a girl who hates heat,  my hair tends to keep a lot locked in. While I'm more of a bun girl than a pony tail girl, I felt like this was a fun exception. Only problem is that I don't think I can recreate it the same. What I love about updos is the no need for heat. Besides, embrace messy hair, right?

The day before these pictures were taken I bought a 80 shade pack of eye shadowfor ten dollars. So I had some fun afterwards making some new looks with said eye shadow  I actually really like how this turned out and how pigmented the orange is.

I think the cold has finally been abandoned and we can feel the coming touch of summer. June is here already, wow!

Yellow Lace and Book Reading Weather

Plaid button up: Walmart

Lace yellow top & Ring: Forever21

Skirt: Thrifted (and shortened)

Necklace: World Market

Purse: Marc's

Tights & Shoes: Target

This was my first spring outfit of the season. It was such a beautiful day, I spent most of it outdoors: reading and climbing trees and playing with my puppies.

With spring (and summer) coming (well, spring is actually here, but whatever) it is the season of updos. If you are anything like me, than wearing the hair down is just a gigantic no. My hair is like a heated blanket in and of itself. Come May I plan on chopping off a few inches and that way getting rid of split ends and giving my hair a chance to regrow. That is the nice thing about when you wearing your hair up all the time, you don't really feel like you are giving up your long hair.

Welcome to spring everyone.

Necklace & Earrings: Made by me

I don't always dress thinking, what kind of things do I want to wear today or what would be comfortable. It's always more like who do I want to be? Never really a person, but more like I want to be a gypsy, I want to be a fairy, I want to look enchanted like I walked out of a fairy tale.

We had delightfully warm weather a couple of week(s) ago. It was in the sixties for two days. It gave me a small taste of spring, which I was desperately craving for. I went hiking into the corn fields and some of the land was flooded from a recent rain. (Recent isn't the word, because it always rains) It was still frozen in the shade and looked like an out of place lake. I didn't go onto the ice, I was wearing the wrong shoes, which desperately need cleaned now.

A lot of this outfit is made up of things that I have just accumulated over the years. Many are from different countries. The purse and shawl were presents from family, which they purchased on mission trips. The mood ring is probably from some travel shop in the south. The shoes and cardigan are from Belgium, which I purchased when I lived there. I'm a sucker for different places, even if its just an hour away. That was something infused in me by my parents who took us on many road trips. I hope my feet are never firmly planted in the same spot for long.

Dragon Chain Necklace: Made by me

Longer Necklace & Earrings & Ring: Forever21

I'll admit I've been listening to too much of the hunchback of notre dame. I dressed especially with the purpose to be a little gypsy-ish. My mome saw me before I left and said, "You look like a little gypsy." It made me so happy.

Another day and another climb in a dress. It was actually really difficult to climb in that dress and hard to do it modestly and especially in heels. At least this time I wasn't wearing tights to snag. One of my favorite pair of tights is near ruined from all the runs. I never really do learn when it comes to me and my trees. Actually you haven't met my tree yet. It's the best of the bunch and one day I'll try to capture it in pictures.

The Trees Move

Coat & Red Tank top: Kohl's

Jeans & Boots & Scarf: Hottopic

Necklace: Forever21

Earrings: Charming Charlie

Ring: Belgium

Puppy: Ollie

For once I was climbing trees in jeans. Normally I prefer to climb in skirts and tights, snagging my tights in the process. Prefer isn't really the word. I get the urge to climb when I'm in skirts-there that's better.

This shirt was only 25 cents. It was a quick purchase, made mainly so that I have an over-sized sweater at my hands. If spring ever comes, I mean when spring finally comes I'll have to put it away, but I'm enjoying my winter wardrobe right now. At the same time I'm itching to start wearing sleeveless shirts. I really should keep this outfit in mind for next Christmas  I don't think I intended for it to seem so themed. Ah, it's too late now. Hope you all have a wonderful beginning to this week and that spring comes soon.
