I wish I had remembered to repaint my nails before taking these!

This dress happens to be one of my all-time favorites.  I had been looking everywhere for a pastel plaid dress, and this one from Crush Vintage Candy kept popping up in my searches.  It was listed as a size small, so I didn't even bother to look at the detailed listing... but then I finally did, and realized that I might just fit into it.  It was a totally reasonable price for such an adorable dress, so I bought it and was SO happy that I did.  I can't get over the adorable detailing on the collar, or the fact that it came with the most perfect peach belt I've ever seen.  I wore this on my blog (under more summery circumstances) back in May (see that post here), and I didn't realize 'til now how short this dress actually is on me... but I was still determined to remix it for colder weather, so I tried the sweater trick.  I think it worked out pretty well, though I still like the dress by itself best.  :)

I'm not exactly sure what I'll be doing this weekend (other than working).  I'm still feeling under the weather, though I've been basically assured that it isn't strep, and that it's most likely something viral -- which kind of sucks, since that just means it has to run its course.  I've been on a pretty steady regimen of Advil, since my throat feels like it's swollen shut, and that is the only thing that helps.  That, and mint chocolate chip ice cream.  Those are the medicines I swear by.

Have a super Saturday!

I've been waiting (very impatiently) for the weather to get warm enough so I could wear this gorgeous pastel dress for an outfit post... and it was finally warm enough this week!

The lilacs are almost blooming!

It's safe to say that I am completely obsessed with this dress.  The pastel plaid, the buttons, the perfect peach belt, and the embroidered collar?  I feel so lucky to have found this dress, and this lovely vintage shop.  The shipping is incredibly fast, and the folks at Crush Vintage (Crush Vintage Candy is one of their two shops) are so sweet.  So sweet, in fact, that they are offering a 10% off code, good for ANYTHING in their store!  Just enter STOCKUPFORSPRING at checkout!  (This coupon is valid for items in the Crush Vintage Candy shop, not in their regular Crush Vintage store.)  I love that they've named all of their pieces after sweet treats!  I especially adore these cute dresses (which they've named the Gummy Worm dress and the Gummy Bear Dress, respectively):

Their Bubblegum Jumpsuit is pretty awesome, too:

And this floral Jelly Bean dress is lovely:

Happy shopping, and have a sweet Saturday!
