Winter Flowers

I've been in a lame winter slump for the past few weeks and my clothing has been a variation of the same thing; pants and cardigans. Wearing this brightly colored dress with my new American Apparel leggings was a great seasonal pick me up. I finally bought a bunch of new thigh high socks, so I'll get the chance to play with layering a bit more!

I was going to spend my morning writing out a blog post, but it was interrupted by a doggie mishap. If you didn't already know, I'm a sucker for animals. Bald or fuzzy, big or small, I love all of them. I've always held affection for animals, but dogs are my biggest weakness. The brightest part of my day is usually petting/freaking out while meeting a new dog or spending time with my little one, Jack. I happened to meet another really sweet dog today, named Penny. 

As I was emptying the recycle earlier, a big dog ran up to me tail wagging, but shaking and all. She was old and friendly, with no tag and no owner in sight. I ended up walking house to house around the neighborhood looking for her home, though no one claimed her. I called the Humane Society and long story short, one of the newer neighbors who wasn't home owns her. She dug a big hole under their fence and took herself on a little walk. I'm so glad she didn't have to go to the shelter, but she even liked the Humane Society officer! Such a sweet pooch. 

Anyways, I hope all of you enjoy your weekends, I'll be spending it working, as usual. 

Thanks for reading! xx

A few snapshots of the outfit I wore to work the other day. I saw this sweater on the h&m sale rack and fell in love immediately. I love a good knit blend and I'm surprisingly lacking in the black/white sweater department, so purchasing this lovely was a no brainer. 

I hope that all of you are doing well, thank you for taking the time to read my blog! It truly means a lot.

Have a beautiful day. xox

Spring 2012

This was the outfit I wore for the first day of classes: contrasting, warm, and most importantly, comfortable. With a class schedule of 9am to 10pm, clothing that I can snooze in is an obvious necessity. I'm sure there will be platforms thrown in on occassion since the campus is small & doesn't require long walking distances (hooray), but for the most part I'll be sticking to my beloved collection of flat heeled shoes. As for this particular outfit, I found my new cardigan in the sale section of h&m for only $20 and to my surprise, it's a maternity sweater. I didn't notice until after I purchased it but hey, it fits well & I love the color!
