Apple Blossom Dreams

After seeing Tieka's beautiful photos from my hometown of Grand Rapids, MI on Wednesday, I really wanted to take my photos amongst some apple blossoms. Alas, I was too late. The fruit trees at this little orchard had already bloomed and the petals have blown away.

I settled for these vibrant green peach trees as my backdrop. I think it looks perfect with all the shades of green in my outfit. Wanna know a secret? My skirt is just two scarves tied together at my waist! 

Funny fashion faux pas: I was shopping and just walking around minding my own biz and next thing I know, my blue slip is showing! My top scarf had slid around and instead of covering me like a wrap-around, it only covered my left hip... Ha! Good thing I wore a slip.

Oh, Look at the Birdie!

I kinda hate the way my face looks in these photos and the light was all wrong, but I hope you can look past that an see what a awesome dress I'm wearing! Look, it has birdies! And the shoulders are little ties and it has pockets. Winning!

I'm in serious need of some fancy new nail art! I like this idea of copying a runway style... But it's oddly familiar to THIS manicure I gave myself already. Got any good links or ideas for an at home manicure for me?

Spring Rain

How to Dress if it Might Rain:

• Sleeves (ie. jacket) are must. It's usually windy and I chill easily. Trenches are made for rain. Durrr
• Also jeans. But I hate wearing jeans when it rains because then my pant legs get soaked from touching the ground... I solved that by cuffing my jeans up above my ankles. 
• Hair: I obvs can't wear my hair down if it's rainy and windy. High bun it up.
• Make up: Nothing is hotter than a fashionista with mascara running down her cheeks. Skip it. Play up the eyes with eyeshadows that won't run. And then wear glasses instead of contacts to protect your eyes from rain drops. Also it's harder to see in the rain, so I had to wear my glasses to help me see anyways.
• As for feets... well I could have worn boots, but at this point in my day it wasn't even raining yet. So I wore my Converses sans socks.Must buy cute rain boots...
• Don't forget an umbrella like I did! Ended up starting to pour as I was taking my last photos so I snapped my last shot under my trench and then ran for cover!
