Foxglove






I was very excited to discover that for the entire month of February, True Value Vintage would be having a massive sale in order to clear out inventory for their big move. I went several times to scope out the bargains and this romantic dress is definitely my top find. It is the most flowy and soft dress i have ever worn, and it reminds me of a foxglove with the pretty pinks and purples :). Needless to say I feel extremely girly in this dress, so i figured 'go big or go home' and I paired it with my pink flowered velvet blazer. I bought these cute peep-toe flats in Italy, and the blue glass flower necklace seems to compliment the running flower theme.

Orangy Glow



I was inspired today by the gorgeous Vancouver weather, and encouraged to go out in the sunshine in a dress (even if i had to wear a coat over-top). I decided on this beautiful Value Village find, a gorgeous, long, orange wool coat with a VERY vibrant lining. The color made me feel as bright as the sun outside my window :). I paired it with one of my favorite flowered dresses and red stockings. Brown loafers and a brown tuque finish this ensemble, as well as my sun-hat necklace. I can't wait to start wearing my sundresses again!
