Come Winter, Come Spring

Yes, I am flanked by snow and it sucks. >_< However, in spite of this, the day was quite beautiful. The sun was bright and crisp; the sky was a clear blue; and the biting winds were nowhere to be found.
Why does Gaia do this? She provides a beautiful day in December to remind us of a Spring that is far away.

Picture

On a day like this, I just couldn't resist wearing my new romper. I thought I wouldn't be able to wear it until Spring, so I was pleased to wear it before the year is out. I've had this little number for months just waiting for the right time to take it for a spin. I got it from my clothing swap group (which I'm sure you're tired of hearing by now haha, but this is where I get most of my clothing! I'm a thrifter at heart.)

The bright teal color just screams Spring, in my mind, and I loved the romper at first sight. I was utterly obsessed with it when it was on ModCloth. It was called the "Teal A Second Glance Romper" on the website and it originally came with a brown belt, but the person who gave me the romper had lost it. I was happy to receive the romper regardless of the missing belt, though. :D
It's my absolute favorite!

Picture

Here's a little peek into that striped ModCloth tunic that I just can't seem to stop wearing these days. It really brightens up the open v-shaped cut at the shoulder blades and gives the overall look a Spring/Summer feel. I wasn't going to add a belt at all, originally, but then I remembered the thin floral ModCloth belt I had thrifted awhile back and I decided the burst of colors would enhance the Spring theme I was going for. Oh and speaking of things I can't stop wearing, I'm practically living in this fedora hat, you guys. I'm sorry if this annoys you! Haha. I just really love it and it goes with everything! <3 >_<

Picture

And here is the romper in all her glory. :D I included some closeups of the fabric below along with some additional shots of my accessories.
I love the pleated shoulders and diagonal textured lines throughout.

Oh yeah! I'm wearing my new brown mid-calf boots from UrbanOG! Finally, finally, finally! I've wanted boots like these forever and I couldn't pass up their 20% off + free shipping promotion back in mid-November. I bought another pair of boots very similar to these, but they're a brighter shade of brown. Both boots were "Buy One, Get One Half Off," so I received an additional discount on the order.

Do I know how to shop, or do I know how to shop, eh? Haha :D
UrbanOG shoes are fantastic quality. Aside from Hot Topic, I typically get my shoes from UrbanOG. Wonderful customer service, too! ^_^

What a great gift to receive! I especially like how you emphasized the v-back with the striped tunic underneath. I used to be a huge fan of UrbanOg as well, but I received an especially crappy pair of boots a while ago and have tried swearing off their cheap goodies for a while.

Aww, dude that sucks. :/ I received a pair of defective boots from UrbanOG once and they bent over backwards to make it right. Did you try talking to Customer Service about it? I'm hoping that one day they'll offer free return shipping, because I don't like having to pay upwards of $10 to return shoes that didn't fit. They carry more size 11s than most on-line stores I frequent and this Sasquatch greatly appreciates that! Haha. :D

I absolutely love this look on you, Anna! I absolutely love spring and summer and my closet seems to be filled with dresses, rompers and other totally not winter-appropriate pieces. I love that you made this gorgeous and bright piece work out though. You look amazing in it (:

Wow, that is SUCH a spring-y romper, but you styled it perfectly for the fall/winter. However....I'd be freezing without a coat in that snowy weather!

Auh man, the colour of your romper is PERFECT. You look fantastic! I love the stripes peeking out of the back. And those boots. Yup, I'm in love. I haven't checked out UrbanOG in a while, but now I'm convinced it's to go have a look.

I envy your winter season. In Florida, we have one season- hot. I can basically wear shorts and a tank top and shorts year round. It's kind of cool that you can as well with layering!

so, the good news is that you have inspired me to put a pair of tights and wear my romper come snow or more snow. ;)

the better news is that this outfit is absofruitly fabulous and I love everything about, from the stripes peeking out the back to those boots TO THAT ROMPER HOLY HANNAH. The color is fabulous and the fabric is very unique: love!

also, not to be a total creeper, and I'm sure you hear these all the time, but your figure is incredible; your legs go on for days and you have this subtle hourglass waist.

love,
a
