In the Mood for Walking Arm in Arm

This jacket may be the closest I've ever come to wearing a cape. I love the way it hugs my body but the arms are terribly stiff. It's as if the sleeves were made never to be worn. I actually really like wearing this jacket without the sleeves and seeing the arms trail as I walk.

In the Mood for Polka Dots

Remember the Alameda Vintage Fair post back in February? I got a pair of 70's frames at the fair and I recently had real lenses added to them. Lately I've also been very keen on polka dots.

I saw this vintage blouse at a boutique store while I was visiting Chicago. I love the subtleties in the design: puff sleeves, unique neckline and the dots are of various sizes & colors but the colors are slightly faded.

In the Mood for May Flowers

The Skagit Tulip Festival is probably one of the most beautiful places in the northwest towards the end of April. The rows and rows of lush vibrant colors always make me excited to take photos... even if it's at 6 a.m. This denim shirt and the locale made me feel a bit like a farm girl but I love the lace detailing on the back and the color blends in well with a light colored skirt or even pants for that matter. I purchased this blouse fairly recently however, anything at Forever 21 has a life span of being on the shelf for two weeks before selling out. It's really a shame when it comes to unique pieces like this because it's hard to find anything remotely similar. I'm starting to become a fan of lace backs though.

In the Mood for the Highs and Lows

Only in Seattle can you find yourself amidst perfectly beautiful weather one day and using every speed your windshield wipers have to offer the next. The surprise bursts of sun always make me excited for the coming spring and summer and I've been looking for the perfect high low skirt to flaunt for quite a while now. The one that Forever 21 has to offer is light enough to trail behind you, bright enough to turn heads, and honestly it's something anyone can afford which is probably why it's sold out. Fortunately the high low trend has gotten big enough to find this skirt in any style and any color. I'm not a big fan of animal print but these snake skin wedges go with everything and I love how the print contrasts with the leather.
