Totally Rad In Plaid

First, I just want to say that I'm so glad that Spring has finally arrived. I got really sick of the short days and the severe lack of sunlight. I never thought the snow would melt. The weather over the weekend was just so beautiful that I couldn't wait to get out of the house. 'Twas a joyous occasion. :D <3

So, here's a little number I put together on Saturday. There is no need for you to adjust your monitor settings. I am, in fact, wearing a dress. Hehe. I did the classic look (i.e. showing the entire dress).

I'm not fond of the classic look, as you probably already know. Haha. However, this dress really is fantastic from an aesthetic perspective, so I felt like I needed to show the entire dress before I start covering it up with skirts and sweaters and using it as a cardigan (i.e. my more typical dress styles).

You might recognize this dress from one of my previous posts about Good Style Shop. Click here to read all about an amazing day of thrifting. :D This is my first time wearing the dress since I bought it.

I know! How is that possible? I just have too many style ideas, I guess. It's hard to fit them all in. :P

Picture

As you can see, the dress is more like a long shirt on me. Heh. So, I added some high waisted shorts for additional coverage. The shorts are really soft and flowy, so it kind of looks like a skirt here. :P

I had lots to see and do, so that's why the locations for all of my photos are different. Hehe. I hope that's not too annoying for you guys. All in all, it was a really fun day!  Here's to many more.

My first blooper! Hehe. One of my leg warmers fell down.. and I thought it was hilarious. ;D <3

Skipping photo!!! Haha. Awesome. I love those tights! Also enjoy the orange color of that dress. Within the past year, I have purchased predominantly orange stuff. Dunno what is up with that....

Hehe yeah. It was more fun than I remembered. Skipping, I mean. I can see why kids do it all the time. ;D <3 I've had an obsession with coral for awhile, now. I haven't gotten anything just in that one color, yet, though. I guess I'm afraid that it'll end up being one of those things that I like to look at, but don't know how to effectively incorporate into my style. I'm still easing into the whole bright colors, thing.

They're actually squares in a repeating diamond pattern. I love it! :D

you skipping thing, you.

on another note, the picture of you laughing is fanfricken adorable and I love that dress. That wasn't really on another note, but I couldn't think of a better segway so that's all you get for today.

;)

love,
a.

Aww, thanks! <3 Yeah, me too! I hardly ever get excited about dresses, but I think it was the colors and patterns. It could have been shorts or a shirt or a skirt and I would have bought it. :D I'm excited to play around with this "swatch" and see what I can do with it. <3

YAYY

Another Madison fashion blog! I"m so excited to have found you!

I know just where you took these photos - right off of Willy street. That's the best brick wall in existence. Just before sunset it turns magical.

Way to get your dress from GSS; my ultimate destination for all things vintagely awesome.

Your new biggest fan,
