Snow queen

Outfit Details:
Dress: ModCloth (similar)
Faux fur cape: Target (old)
Silver crown: Urban Outfitters
White tights: Target
White boots: eBay
Bracelet: old




I actually intended to use these photos for my 1-year blogiversary post in the middle of February, but I was really on the fence about them after taking them.  I wanted an excuse to wear this silly, cheap crown (and I thought a blogiversary would be the perfect occasion), but I just wasn't happy with the resulting photos.  I ended up liking them well enough though, so I decided to upload them in the midst of this arctic-like chill we're currently experiencing.  I had been hopeful that spring was just around the corner, but that was just wishful thinking.






I bought this dress during one of ModCloth's crazy 70% off sales (where nothing is refundable), which was a bit of a risk, but this dress was so pretty (and so cheap) that I couldn't resist.  The other dress I bought was kind of a bust (in an additional punny way, since the bodice is too small for my chest!), and I was afraid this one was going to meet a similar fate, but it's actually really pretty.  I'd like to be able to wear it for a holiday occasion next year, since it seems pretty appropriate for that.





Have a swell Saturday!

Baby Be Mine

Outfit Details:
Bernie Dexter dress: ModCloth (old)
Pink coat: ASOS (out of stock)
Conversation heart purse: Aldo (unavailable)
Shoes: ModCloth (BAIT Footwear)
Ring: Urban Outfitters
Petticoat: eBay




Today's post is going to be kind of quick -- apologies!  This week is going to be a little kooky, so I'm going to be scheduling most of my posts in advance.  This is what I wore on Saturday -- I'd been planning to go to a friend's Valentine's party that night, but couldn't end up going -- but I still wanted to keep the Valentine's spirit for the whole weekend.  I snagged this adorable bag from Aldo before it sold out, and they're kind of killing it with their novelty purses lately.  I'm also glad I finally got a chance to wear this coat from ASOS!  I'm still searching for a more perfect pink coat (since this one has 3/4 length sleeves -- so impractical!), but this one is pretty great.





I hope you had a great Valentine's Day & a wonderful Monday!
