Spring!

With all the snow, my mind has drifted to wishing spring was here....soooo I decided to look up some spring trends that will be coming back and found this article: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1385952/spring_2009_fashion_trends_for_womens.html
Fortunately for us, the button down shirts, polos, and layers of fabric lend themselves easily to modest dress :)

I tend to look in American Eagle or Gap for polo shirts and New York and Company for button down shirts, though in the spring, every store should have some nice ones. Pairing it with a cute lace cami and cuffing up the sleeves is adorable, functional, and springy :)

Skirts!

I've been looking for some cute year-round skirts as I've seen it's hard for me to make the transition from winter to spring without always wearing the same-old same-old. Just found this website and I think they have some cute skirts such as this one:

I really like the ribbon across the waist and the color gray is neutral enough that I think it could be paired with just about any color.

Also loved this one! http://www.funkyfrum.com/product_p/jj502-3ir.htm Reminded me of a skirt Mary Tyler Moore would wear a day in the newsroom :)

Have fun looking through these adorable-retro-knee length skirts!

New Year!

Sorry I haven't been able to update in a while! But now that the college apps are done I should have time :)
Hope you all had a fantastic New Year and start to the school year!

Found this website on the side of Facebook's suggested 'likes' and so I checked it out and they have some pretty cool, indie stuff :)

I especially loved some of their dresses like this vintage one: (some may be sleeveless, however, with a cardigan, problem solved!)

Only problem is, since the clothing looks one-of-a-kind, I think they are around $$$ with cost. (Esther and I have forgotten to rank according to price before, so now we're starting)

Enjoy!
