Flowers & Braids

dress: thrifted, jacket: hand-me-down, the gap, shoes: forever 21, sunglasses: urban outfitters, backpack: c/o Yes Walker
And here's a long overdue outfit post! It's already the 8th of April and I've only posted two outfits on the blog for this month -- I promise, I've still been getting dressed! Somehow I just haven't found the opportunities to take photos of what I've been wearing. Well, nevermind, this will make up for it. This outfit/these photos are full of NEW. New what you ask? Well, exhibit A is: my hair! Not exactly new, but I've figured out that my bangs are long enough to braid. So I've been enjoying this 'do for the past couple of days. I guess my hair is growing, after all? ;)

In addition to my hair, I thrifted this dress this past weekend for $8! It's the perfect floral print for spring (florals for spring? groundbreaking.) And the final new ingredient for this post is this backpack! I actually received it in the mail today from the company Yes Walker. I immediately had to wear it! So far I'm in love. I bet you won't believe it, but I haven't worn a backpack since maybe middle school? This is a pretty special time for me, as you can guess.

Spring has been appearing and then disappearing in Seattle this week/past weekend. Some sunny days -- some Seattle drizzle days. Today is sunny! Seattle weather certainly teaches you to learn to go with the flow, if anything. Happy Monday! xxoo E

  5. Love the floral dress! And the socks and shoes, so cute! Can't wait for spring to finally arrive here in London so I can get all my cute frilly socks out. It's definitely still tights weather here.
