I actually only picked up this dress on a whim, while browsing in H&M. It was one of those moments where you look at it, think this is kind of nice, then put it on in the dressing room, have an HOLYGODILOVELOVELOVETHIS moment, and lose the ability to talk without jumping up and down for the next half hour. I love that feeling you get when you stumble across something and it turns out to be surprisingly perfect. This dress is now one of my favourites! The dots, the material, colours, the length, the fit, and the full skirt just combine to make it so completely unique in my eyes. 

I like the idea of layering a shirt over a dress, but in hindsight, I think I'd change the t-shirt. It's not quite the right length. However, I'm glad I experimented and I'm definitely going to reuse this. I'm trying to venture out of my comfort zone. What's your adventurous look?

Why is it so hot? What is wrong with the world? It's March, for God's sake. It should be cold- or at the least, a little chilly. Not this overbearing, humid, mosquito-boasting heat wave. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind it being warmer than usual, especially as going out at six in the morning is far more comfortable now. But I miss the in between stage- the spring of spring. Cool rain showers, mild weather, crisp air, green things just beginning to poke out, tentative sunlight, etc. All that good stuff.

I have British genes. I am meant for mild climates. But not this. Definitely not this. Generally, I can handle the weather here just fine. Right now, though, it's too hot! It's in the seventies. In New York. In the middle of winter...Why?!

Too. Much. Work.

This week has been so hectic- and I'm not even finished with it yet. Intimidating tests, on demand essays, strange tests, an abundance of quizzes, buckets of homework... It's only Wednesday and it already feels like the whole week has passed. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to that coveted, blissful moment on Friday afternoon when I can finally relax. 

P.S. Sorry for the lack of posts. I promise to make it up to you.
P.S.S. That gorgeous boy in the photographs is Monty, in case I haven't mentioned him before.

A Saturday Stroll.

Despite being ridiculously over my price range, this outfit seems just perfect for a lazy Saturday stroll. A girl can dream, right?

Fashion is definitely an art determined by the viewer. It's amazing how one outfit can evoke so many different reactions in so many different people. The first thing my mother said to me this morning was, "You're wearing those tights? With that? And, sure, I got some strange looks when walking down the hallways, courtesy of my mustard tights, but on the other hand, I received numerous compliments throughout the day. At the end of the day, all that should matter is that you like what you wear. And that's that.
