Minty Florals

It's supposed to reach seventy degrees here today and its Friday, a double win if I ever saw one.  The icing on the cake is that this is my fifth day of my 30 days of clean eating, but I am treating myself to my Friday latte as a bit of a splurge. It's going to taste so yummy after a week full of lots of fruit, veggies, and black coffee only. Guys, it's the little things!
   
 Outfit Details: Dress- Vintage - in shop this weekend! // Purse- Vintage (my Mom's from the 70s) // Tights & Socks- Target // Sunnies- BCBG Max Azria // Cardigan - gift // Boots- Beyond the Rack

    These photos were actually taken two weekends ago, hence the snow covered ground. Not that I ever actually stopped wearing floral for the winter, but you're going to be seeing a lot more of it as I am now stocking my shop chock full of pretty spring and summer prints! Lot's of sewing to be done this weekend, hopefully mixed in with some fun outdoors adventures. Do you guys have anything good planned? I hope so!

    You live in SUCH a pretty neighborhood. I love the light colors with the snow covered ground - I think that pastels should be winter colors more often like this! And 70 degrees!! Yes please

    aww this dress looks so pretty on you! it must be hard to part w/ pieces like this but i bet being able to post in them at least once helps. Love the simple looks w/ boots, tights & of course always that awesome bag! also i can laugh thinking that this dress was prob crazy frumpy before your hemming : )

    I know most people who actually live in the snow are dreaming of hotter weather (and understandably so!) but that snow behind you looks SO PRETTY!!! makes a wonderful background..I just want to be there! hahah. Anyways, those sunglasses are wonderful and so is this dress :)

    Well, 70 degrees sure looks lovelier than what you had in these pictures 2 weeks ago! Enjoy it!

    Your purse is so different! I love the way it spirals in like that.

    How is it going with yout healthy eating thing? And why are you only allowed to drink black coffee? Would a coffee with soy milk not be as healthy!?
    You outfit is super cute!
    Happy sunday!

      Hi Larissa! The healthy eating is going well! I have been doing a little bit of soy milk, but don't really love it in general (I think it's okay in stronger espresso drinks though!) But the main reason is, I am cutting out any refined sugar and soy milk has sugar in it! Definitely okay in small doses though! Hope you're having a wonderful day!

    The floral dress is so pretty (love how you are rocking the florals even with snow) and that bag is soo cute (even though I said that already in another post haha)! And good luck on your 30 days of clean eating! I'm trying to eat more healthy things too:)

    I hope you got to enjoy a warm weekend! I'm sure you are sick of snowy days by now. I think the florals are perfect for year round- I pretty much just layer up summer clothes for the winter though :)

    I love this dress sooo much! The color is amazing and it looks so pretty on you....I miss the snow so much and this post is making me miss it even more!The shades are quite cool I must say...wanty. I don't know if I could drink just black coffee, I think I would have to cut out coffee altogether....I do love my half and half. Great post!
