spring! spring?

dress and blouse - Bodyline
shoes - RuffHewn

Someone told me it was the first day of spring, so I wore a springy-flowery dress and earrings that remind me things will be growing again soon! But then someone else said they thought the first day of spring was the next day, so...  Eh.  I never did look it up so I don't know who was right, but I'm all for spring as early as possible!

Somehow I always find myself wearing these assorted leaf earrings together.  Maybe because they're all (except the silver flower) missing their pairs, so I think of them as a set.

The brown socks remind me of tree bark, and the shoes have a sort of mossy-green colour and texture, so when I wear them together I feel like a great tree rising from the earth! Well, a great, small tree...

light purple sweater - So...
skirt - Old Navy

Now we reach my "Take that, winter!" phase in which I wear as many layers as I can pile on.  This is not the last time you'll see me wearing two sweaters (plus other assorted shirts).  Mmm, warmth...

Stupid ol' winter.

grey knit love

Grey is my favourite non-colour.  It's so much more interesting than white or black!  Warm greys are especially nice.  Knit fabric (like soft tshirt material) is also nice.  When I was little, I had a grey dress of knit material with a pink flower print, and I loved it to bits (not literally).  It was warm and cozy, and when I spun around wearing it, it twirled up fabulously.  This dress reminds me of it a little!

stepping on roses

I went and coloured this one after all (really quickly, like in 10 minutes), because I liiiiike it.  I went back to helping out as a designer, and they put me to work cleaning the lower leaves and outer petals from the roses.  By the time I finished the job, I found myself standing in a crimson and green sea of rose petals and leaves.  So dramatic!

Also, one thing I appreciate about glasses is being able to tuck a flower between the frame and my head, just above my ear.  Flowers are nice accessories.
