what i've been eyeing lately.

 If I could splurge on a few things right now, it would be these.
They make my eyes very happy.

1. Pompom Peasant Blouse | 2. Chartreuse foldover clutch | 3. Citrus Floral Print | 4. Collared Skipper Tank | 

5. Cotton Skirt from Vanilla & Lace | 6. Wildflower Turban Style Headband

Would love the Rifle Paper Co. print for our place in Portland (loving all of their new spring line right now. And loving that they're offering 20% off their featured section w/ coupon code PICKS20!) I am practically drooling over the two Anthro picks (1 & 4). I have never spent full-price on anything there (duh) but am considering getting those two pieces with the $250 (!!!) gift card that's burning a hole in my pocket. What do you guys think -- would it be dumb to use it on full-price items rather than wait for their additional 25% off clearance sale & stock up? I'm just scared that these lovelies won't make it to the sales rack and they are both screaming my name.

Hope you all have a lovely first weekend of spring! You are lucky if where you are it actually feels like spring. We are in Cincinnati (sadly just as cold as Detroit) for the weekend for a counseling conference for hubs, so if any of you are familiar with the city and have any suggestions of how I should spend my time while Joel conferences, let me know! So far I've been eating yummy food, checking out cute boutiques and hangin' at a sweet coffee shop. Tomorrow I'll be heading to the art museum (it's free!) and not sure what else yet. Maybe a trip to anthro? What are you guys up to this weekend??

{what i wore on a thursday}

i love to wear dresses. and i don't let the winter stop me from doing so.
(neither does it stop me from wearing color).
i've found one great way to "winterize" your favorite summer dresses is to
layer a sweater over it & belt it. and keep your legs warm with some sweater tights.

i don't do these posts often because i feel really silly posing for the photos
(or in this case photo). joel was in a real hurry to get to class when he took this
& i was in a real hurry to get out of the 19-degrees-but-feels-like-5-degrees cold.
maybe next time we'll find a prettier backdrop (and a less awkward pose).

what are some ways you like to "winterize" your summer wardrobe?

dress :: target | sweater :: anthropologie | belt :: thrifted
sweater tights :: t.j. maxx | Hunter boots :: ebay (kids' size)
