Salt water taffy

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!

Outfit Details:

The Ice Cream Dress: Crush Vintage Candy

Basically Amazing Socks in Ivory: ModCloth

Ida Spectator Heels in Seafoam: B.A.I.T. Footwear

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!

In bloom

Even when it's cloudy outside, seeing flowers (finally!) blooming puts a smile on my face.

Guess who finally figured out how to fix the blown-out exposure on her camera....

I startled a sweet mourning dove couple out of their tree!  They have my favorite bird call of all time.

Hope your Thursday is lovely!

I sort of hate to ask it / But do you have a basket?

When I had to work for the Sondheim and Bernstein concert with the RPO last week, I knew I wanted to wear this Little Red Riding Hood print dress (even though they didn't play any music from Into the Woods, as it turned out)!  It's such a lovely, retro shape, and it's super comfortable!
