Cherry Blossoming

Ohhh look how cute and girly and happy I am! >_< <3 Yes, I felt quite like a lady in this outfit. ^_^ Pairing the green cape (which I absolutely adore) with the floral zipper dress seemed like a no-brainer. Hehe. It was a really easy decision to make based on the contrasting colors, the combination of which created what I consider to be a quintessentially Spring ensemble. Goodness, that's a mouthful. o_O

I wish I could wear this cape more that just a few times per year.  I'm just really picky about how I wear it and of course, it wouldn't be appropriate for Summer and potentially Winter, though I defied this limit by wearing the cape in early March of last year. The lace blouse underneath the dress also made complete sense. I viewed them both as inseparable. They just...belong together, you know? ^_^

It was such a beautiful day when these photos were taken. I remember feeling hot in my wool cape, because it basically absorbed the abundant sunshine.
I thought days like these were so far away.

I know that snow is still a likelihood through the end of April, but I can't help that my spirits rise and fall with the temperatures. As you can imagine, on this day, I was so happy I couldn't stop smiling. ^__^

You look absolutely graet! Sweet and girlishly. I love everything u are wearing today, but especially blouse and cape.
And I have the same problem with my capes - there is not much spring to wear it as often as I would like to.

Kisses!

Hahah, I feel ya! We're having a super crappy weather here, but I still strongly believe it will be hot soon :D
And wow, this coat!!! O_O It looks so much like the capes from the Survey Corps from Shingeki no Kyojin O_O I love it!!!
Awesome lace top too, can't believe it's a different piece from the dress, they're meant for each other!!!

Yeah, it's one of the most expensive coats I own. I definitely splurged when I bought it, but it was worth it! :D <3

I'm in love with the cape and boots. The colour of the cape is gorgeous.

That octopus pin is wild. A fun detail.

This morning it is actually snowing here. SNOWING!!! I can't take it anymore. It is almost May for Pete's sake!

Omg, Suzanne! It snowed again just last night! I was looking out the window from the couch in the living room and I was like..'wait...wait a minute..no...what is that? snow? nooooooooooooo!' Haha. Such a depressing moment. It's already starting to melt, thankfully, but you can still see large patches of snow everywhere. Ugh. Go away, snow! >_<

ooooh yes, super cute! a match made in heaven, and so springy while still feeling warm. Brava!
I have a similar floral dress from the 90s I styled with a denim shirt, but I totally dig this green cape coat, it's so beautiful - and twirling!! :))

Hey Anna,
You probably don't remember but I was into this blogging thing a year or so ago and then went through a blog identity crisis or something... Anyway, just wanted to say that I love your outfit as usual! Especially that bag... I've never heard of TIL Darling before! I'm definitely going to check it out.
Have a nice week!

Hey, Olivia! Of course, I remember you! <3 I was wondering what happened, because I wasn't getting any updates on Bloglovin'. I followed you from your old blog to your second one. Now, I see that you have a third, so I added that one to my Bloglovin' list! I've been following you on Chictopia, too, by the way! *^_^*

Ahhh totally lady-like in this outfit, but you are looking fabulous!! The floral dress with the lace is fun, but that cape/jacket is such a great piece. I love fun coats for these transitional days. I mean, how can you NOT feel amazing in that?!

You DO look so happy in these photos! The florals and green cape together are so perfect for spring. I hope there isn't too much more cold weather heading your way. It's mid-April...no one should have to worry about that anymore, especially with the way winter was this year!

I love this girly outfit Anna! It's sweet but still has a bit of an edge with those boots. I love the idea of pairing a lace top under a sundress - I've never thought of that before but I'm going to have to try it out!

How many jackets do you OWN, girl?! ;)

[As an aside, I've decided to invest in some new jackets for winter. I live in a cold climate, surely that is justifiable...right?!]
