In Full Bloom

♥ [Dandelions]

The sun and the blue skies are enough to make me excited for spring and summer. I can already smell the barbecue in the air and the ocean breeze on my skin even if the temperature isn't any warmer than usual. Spring doesn't often make me want to dress like I live in the 1950's but I have to admit, I rather like it. I like the idea of driving in a convertible on a sunny day with a scarf to protect your hair and some killer vintage sunglasses to protect your eyes. This vision inspired my outfit today, though one day I will need to find a proper head scarf.

In the Mood for a Quiet Place

Libraries are easily one of my favorite places in the world growing up and the architectural marvel that is the Seattle Public Library is nothing short of amazing. I have an affinity for old books so I go wherever the first editions are. So much so that I tried to pass a college course using just the first edition of the couse textbook. Needless to say, I did surprisingly well so I wouldn't discount the library when looking for cheap (and beautiful) alternatives to buying this quarter's textbook.  

When purchasing a white lace skirt, no matter who the maker is, I recommend also purchasing a slip to wear underneath. I tried on a few skirts before settling on this H&M one and they were all very sheer. White is just not a color made to hide anything.
