I love this purse from Hottopic. It ventured to Rome with me and my sister so many years ago. The only reason I remember that is because I have a picture with my sister at the Mouth of Truth where I had the purse strapped on. It also traipsed around Belgium with me. It didn't lose any of my stuff, at least that I remember. It feels like it wasn't that long ago, but really it was years. I feel old, while still being young. I know most people feel that way. Believe me, I ask them.

I recently had a conversation with my friend about a dress I wanted to get. "Is it from Forever21?" she asked. The dress actually wasn't, but those who know me quickly learn that about half of my wardrobe is from Forever21. It's an inexpensive store with a great selection and great sales. This shirt is one of my favorite shirts, as it works great for fancy occasions or dressed down. For the record, I had no intention to make this a Forever21 outfit, it just kind of happened.

While taking these photos I dance around like a fool as the post title suggests. It was so warm that day. I didn't even wear my coat while I ate my first ice cream cone of the year. I was freezing, but still it wasn't that cold and the sun was shining. Also, you might not be able to tell in the pictures, but my nails match my coat. It wasn't intentional, but it happened.

What I love most about this outfit is that it's a type of grunge dress, without being too grungy. (Is that even a word?) The fact that I did nothing to my hair besides take it out of its braid and brush it, probably helps sell the grunge effect. It is also very laid back and all the clothing is very comfortable, which is perfect for any spring adventures

The freezing cold is almost always the most tempting to venture out in. My common sense isn't one of my strongest talents. I was hardly outside for fifteen minutes before I ran back inside, losing the feeling in my fingers. The puddles were completely frozen and supported my weight if you can't tell from the photos.

Also, though not easy to tell from the pictures, my eye shadow and nails match. I love having subtle things match. I've been loving the emerald color of the year, though it has lots of names it just as many uses and green looks good on everyone.

Also, welcome to April, my dear friends. I thought it would never come.
