Soo I'm not sure what happened, but these pinks matched a lot better in real life.  This is the first time I've worn either of these pieces on my blog (they've both been sitting in my closet for about a year), and I never thought about putting them together before, but I wanted to try it -- and I figured that Valentine's Day would be my only opportunity to do so!  Peplums are kind of past their prime at this point (though I still wear them occasionally because they're flattering on me), but this skirt kind of needs one.  It's too much of a straight cut for my frame without one, but who could resist these heart-shaped pockets?  This skirt definitely used to be looser on me though, so after I gorge myself on Valentine's Day candy this week, I really need to get a handle on my bad eating habits.  However, that is a worry for another week, as I am not about to abstain from pure goodness, i.e., Reese's hearts.






I just can't help loving a goofy purse, and this one is no exception.  I haven't used it a whole lot, but it's such a cool piece!  I'm pretty sure this is a knock-off version, but I can't remember.  It looks especially good in photos.  The only bad thing is that it doesn't hold very much, and I usually carry my whole life around in my purse.  But it's perfect for when I don't need to be at least semi-practical!  I was searching for song titles to go along with this outfit, and I was reminded of a particular song from the movie Music and Lyrics (which I haven't seen in a while, but love) that fits splendidly...




Have a great Wednesday!

How does your garden grow?

Outfit Details:
Floral print peplum dress: River Island
Bun top garland, worn as bracelet: River Island (sold out, similar here)
Pink jelly flats: J.Crew (old, similar here)


I've said it before, but I love this peplum dress... It somehow manages to be tight and flattering at the same time.  It's also on sale, and it's incredibly springy.  And it was finally warm enough to wear it!



It's hard to make out, but there are two robins in that tree!



I love spring.  Hope your day is just as springy!
