Favorite hour of the day

Ahh, golden hour. It's seriously my favorite hour of the day. I only wish I was enough of a morning person to enjoy the first golden hour of the day, but at least I always enjoy the last! I also just love that we have sunlight so late now. Sunset is at 8pm! It's been so nice getting out of work to a full three hours left of daylight. Plus the weather is starting to feel like spring, and I think I'm almost ready to fully put away my giant winter parka and winter boots. Who knows though in Michigan... we could have a snowstorm tomorrow! Don't worry, I'm knocking on wood. I really really hope that doesn't happen!

Favorite dress

Happy Monday! I was sort of ready to get going in a new week today. Weird, I know. We had such a beautiful spring day on Friday (when I was stuck at work) and then it rained all weekend long, which was kind of a bummer! I really do love rain in spring though... April showers bring May flowers! Can you believe we're approaching April this weekend already? Phew! March was a really good month. I feel accomplished even though I didn't hit all of my goals, and we're just inching closer and closer to continuous warmth and sunshine. Can't complain about that! But let's talk about more important things... like my new favorite dress.

Spring begins

Hello, spring! I'm so thrilled a new season is here. Finally! To be fair, this winter did go by pretty quickly... but I'm definitely glad it's behind us. I especially love transitional seasons (spring/autumn) for personal style. It's fun to get dressed this time of year! I'm excited to be bringing out a few new items I purchased recently (after redefining my personal style more!) like these new clogs, lighter wash jeans, and this breezy floral top with flared sleeves! I've defined my style as "folksy girl-next door". Folksy meaning informal and unpretentious, and in my own terms, gives a nod to boho style. Girl-next-door is where I feel I can be a little feminine and girly, but casual and approachable. I seriously am loving this book, and can't wait to see how my style continues to evolve this season!

Flared sleeves

Holy slackamole! I totally went missing there for a few days... err weeks, didn't I? I swear, sometimes time just goes so slow, and other times, it absolutely flies, and you have no idea what you did or how you got anything done. It's just been a whirlwind last couple of weeks! Eric had a couple of shows, I had a hair appointment (got a trim and a little more color for spring!), we saw a comedy show during LaughFest (which was so fun), we survived St. Patrick's Day (my least favorite day of the year), we ran the Irish Jig 5K (34 minutes!) and we saw Dawes in Kalamazoo. Phew! Busy, busy. And mostly all good. And even today, we're saying goodbye to winter... and hello to spring tomorrow. Yay!

Casual Wednesday

Happy International Women's Day, gals! I wasn't planning on posting today, but I'm really trying to hit that 12x March goal... so here we are. I had to work today as well, but I'm proud to see a lot of colleagues wearing red and I donated to the National Women's Law Center, which protects and promotes equality and opportunity for women and families in all stages of life. Hope you are able to promote positivity surrounding women today, and just enjoy the day yourself!
