Blooming buds

Spring is flying by! I can't believe how fast the month of April went. It's good though... I'm really excited for May. It's my favorite month of spring, by far. Everything is in bloom, and the TULIPS are out. I always look forward to my annual trip to the tulip fields. Plus, the extended forecast looks super nice, which is good, because it has been chilly! If the sun is out, it's not too bad, but I had to go home and change into jeans after taking these photos because brr!

I received this dress last spring... or maybe even two springs ago, and this is my first time wearing it! Unfortunately the zipper broke, and it's been sitting in my 'to fix' pile for ages. Now that I'm so close to being done with my wardrobe organization project, I finally took my pile to get fixed! I'm excited too because I love this dress! It's so pretty. I've been trying really hard to wear more of my closet. You start to realize why you don't wear things though... like yeah, those shoes were too tight, or this shirt is unflattering. It feels good to purge some of those items, delete them from my Stylebook app, and have a more curated closet. I have almost everything updated in that app though... boy, was that a chore!

After snapping a few pictures, we went to dinner at the new Vander Mill Cider location in Grand Rapids. It was delicious! I'll have to do a post there soon. Other than that, not much else is new! I've been staying busy at work, continuing to get organized at home, planning a lot of trips for the summer, trying to eat healthy/exercise, and get into better routines. I recently downloaded this app called 'Strides' where you can plug in goals like drink water, or get out of debt, or floss, or whatever, and I've been loving it. It's gotten me to stick to a nightly skincare routine, and it's fun to track how many days I exercise, how close I am to getting out of debt, and saving money. It's fun! I also just got a new Fitbit that I love, and bonus, because the pink band matches this dress! ;)
