Today it was kind of yucky outside. April is downright ugly in Alaska. Everything turns the most drab and depressing color of brown. In other places, spring is like a girl who turns from adolescent to young adult seamlessly and gracefully. In Alaska, she has frizzy ugly hair and unkempt eyebrows and boys don't like her in jr. high, but then she becomes so radiantly stunning and exotic in the summer of her adulthood that other places pale in comparison. Maybe that's why I like it here so much. I was very much the awkward, big haired girl who liked boys but wasn't liked back. Okay well, the last part hasn't really changed that much, haha! At least now my hair and I get along! Well, that evolved from a comment on the weather to a psychological evaluation.

This butterfly belt came in the mail today and I had to put it on the second I got it out of the packaging. It's so whimsical and spring-y that it goes perfectly with my floral leggings! With my leaf necklace and green cardigan, I'm a veritable spring garden! Even if the rest of the state is a brown muddy mess...

by the way, i'm loving the change of hair color! you look gorgeous!

I have this exact belt. It was my mom's in the 80's and she'd saved it! It's one of my favorite things!
I actually quite like this look on you! It looks very summery and comfortable. :)
I also like the printmaking sign.
I saw this title and just knew you would mention Jim Croce. That's my favorite Pandora station for rainy days...melodic at times and punchy just when you need it.
Great tights! Didn't you hear 2nd grade chic is in now?
This is such an adorable outfit! Totally love it!
So many pretty colours... (:

Those are some pretty awesome tights!
Dude your room looks amazing! You've definitely made some changes since I last saw it. Also, pandora radio is dope. I'm jealous of your floral leggings. I saw a little girl wearing some the other day and almost wanted to ask where she got them :)
...and 2nd grade was an amazing time. I wish I could go back there again and not have a care in the world!
I have those glasses! Also, is this your bedroom? Very cute!
I love you necklace so much, in fact
I love your style sooo much:)).
I was writing to Tieka the fact that she was such an inspiration to me, well so did you:) you girls are so sweet and have such great sense of style, and really have inspired me to start this journey in the world of blogging.
I'm so glad that I have found your blog cause it brightens my day every time I read it.

I love the lighting in these photos + I wore floral leggings like that the other day too! Twinz ;)
Your leggings are precious!
the pics area a bit dark :( shame because the outfit look fantastic .. i love that belt
Love this outfit. It seems like the perfect thing to be wearing on a drab, brown day.
And if you say you're dressed like a 2nd grader, then you must be the most stylish 2nd grader I know!
love the outfit and the photos, they look like you´re having fun! made me smile :)
Those floral leggings are just fabulous!!! :) Love this entire look!
This is an amazing outfit. I, too, think it's okay to dress like a little kid sometimes. I would totally wear this outfit. Where do you work that you can wear anything you want?
those leggings are so fun
and I love your spring metaphor haha
Your photos look so cute today! I wouldn't say 2nd grade kid, but more girly than usual.
I can visualize the picture of you all comfy in your chair without shoes at work - very likeable :)
And thanks for another great etsy shop - if only it was not so expensive for me to buy stuff from the US (I hate the German customs...)
You intimidate boys with your fabulous style and gorgeous head of hair. That's why they don't like you back. :) I'm loving the tights. I've always been too afraid to wear really graphic prints on my legs, but you pull it off incredibly well.
Ahh love the belt!

Oh I love your leggings and your description of Alaska is so funny yet endearing.

Your hair is so great like that (up + the color). And I'm really enjoying these floral leggings!

I love the last photo where you're pulling your boots on, the compostion really delights me for some reason!
And I'm a biteen partial to people who let their inner child choose their clothes. It's good to let her have her ways sometimes! :)
Love the leggings! Super fun... and you have quite a lovely room too!
xx Love & Aloha

This is one of my favorites of your outfits (and that's saying something as I really enjoy all of them). That belt is AWESOME! I'm gonna have to go over to modcloth and check it out!
I love those tights! They look like something I've seen on Patternity, which if you haven't seen before you should check out.
Love the belt as well! Jealous!
those tights are marvelous, the outfit is adorable.
I love this! Those leggings are perfect! And your room is amazing - I love your dress form, all dressed up! Mine is naked. Hahah!
The leggings sooo remind me of the H&M Garden Collection- I was eyeing a similar pair in the window today on my lunch break and wondering if I could pull them off...you definitely can!
lol I love the florals! I do the same thing when my co-worker is gone, I can play all my girly music or stuff like Buddy Holly, "Don't mess around with Jim." gets played a ton...
:)
I love it!

I do the EXACT same thing. It's not rare to see me walking around my office with no shoes. :)
Elizabeth, I don't think that I have told you yet, but i am completely in love with your new haircolor!!! Doesn't red make you feel super spunky or something?!
And I totally do not think that you look like a second grader...I wish that I could wear an outfit that adorable to work!
Fun outfit! Also, your room is quite charming. :)
I love these colors! Great room by the way, super cute. Those leggings suit you so well. x

WOW!! I love that necklace! The perfect necklace for me would be gold with a leaf pendant, and an acorn pendant :) Also loving how your weather updates turn all psychological!! At least I know I'm not the only one who's mind works in strange ways like that!
Those leggings are amaaaaaazing. I really really want a pair of floral leggings. I must go thrift store searching soon!

Hi! I got your message regarding the necklace, and that would be lovely :) I saw that you had posted this one as homemade, but I didn't realize YOU made it!! It's just wonderful!
They need a place on here for people to send each other messages other than commenting on posts. But I'm newer to this blogging thing, so maybe there is, and I just don't know where...?

Everything does go so great together! That belt is super cute.
