more snow

dress - Old Navy

And theeeen all my spring-ful hopes and dreams were dashed by another snowfall! What a shock.  By the way, sundresses are totally okay to wear in winter.  With winter boots.  Yes.

See, this is why watching movies full of frilly lacy wonderful dresses is dangerous—it makes me want to wear them too!! I found a Japanese company that sells dresses at a very reasonable price—$20-30 for a lot of their pieces right now, rather than the $200+ that brands like BTSSB charge. So... I ordered a couple... few... You'll see the rest around here soon, I'm sure. (once I get my iron from my parents' place! There are some wrinkles that need fixin' up!)

I leave you with one more for now! We had a lovely night out with a few of the high school girls from church, decorating Christmas ornaments and snacking and chatting.  My friend had made the pink rhinestone-dotted ornament as a sample, and sent it home with me at the end of the night with instructions that I must feature it in the day's post. But of course!  Such a lovely bubblegum-pink, bejeweled spectacle must be shared with the world!!  It now has a place on my cute tree (as seen here if you can spot it). Next year I'll give it a more central spot of honour.

I decorated my hair before the event with some curly silver ribbon I had salvaged from a pile of torn giftwrap last Christmas. It was the perfect use!

Oh, one more story behind the mismatched socks. I usually match mine, but earlier in the evening I'd stepped on our stairs funny and got the back of my heel scraped up a bit by a nail.  It hurt, but I didn't notice anything more till later, when I looked at the heel and noticed the dark red stripe was just a little bit darker in an area—blooood!! (yet it hadn't spread to any other stripes, just that dark one.) I had to wash out the knit tights and leave the house with a wet, alternate-socked foot.

happy rainy day
