Good Day for Twirling

It was about 75/80 degrees here yesterday, and in the low 70's today. Beautiful days just make me so much happier. I just feel like twirling....so I did.




I got dizzy for a few seconds, but then I was good. This is how I've been feeling lately...like I just want to twirl and leap and dance in the sun all day. I can't wait until summer vacation. I'll have more time to update here and to keep up with things in the blogger-universe. I hate being behind in blog-reading and updating. :\ Hopefully this summer isn't as rainy as last year's. A sunshower here and there is okay though, as long as there's a rainbow. I still run outside shouting with glee when I see one.



I love the skirt of this dress. It has eyelet detail on each tier. :) I won it on eBay, as I do most of my vintage dresses. It's so obviously from the 50's and I love that. It's perfect for the summer.

Dress: Fancy Free, vintage

Shoes: Payless
Belt: Thrifted
Hat: Urban Outfitters

I feel like a spy or a detective when I wear this hat. I don't wear it often because I feel like I can't pull it off with just any old outfit. I found it in the clearance section of Urban Outfitters for $10 while I was shopping with Nadia a couple of months ago. By the way, Nadia now has a fashion blog! You can check it out by following the link on her name. I'm so excited to have a fashion blogger friend IRL. Expect many photoshoots this summer. :)



I had to pick a topic to give a persuasive speech on for my communications class. I always hated having to write papers or give speeches about something I am not interested in so I am glad that the professor of this class allows us to pick whatever topic we want. I decided to talk about why people should shop vintage/thift. I'm actually kind of excited about creating the Power Point and telling my class all about the awesomeness that is vintage shopping. I hate giving speeches/public speaking so it is a big deal for me that I am enthused. I get to talk about one of my favorite things to do and I get credit for it, so I'm giddy. :)

I got tired after all that twirling...



Chris unexpectedly came home last weekend so I got to spend a few days with him! :) This is what we do with our time:




Yes, he pushed me around on a cart in Ikea (hence the terrible lighting). I haven't had fun like that in a long time. I think we made people's day with our merriment, although some people just thought we were crazy. Nevertheless, I wouldn't have it any other way. :)

We also went to the park!

When I first got those sunglasses, I said that they sort of make everything look like a picture from the 60's/70's. Now that Chris was clever enough to think of putting the lens in front of my camera, you can see how they make everything look!

I love the tint! I like wearing them and pretending I'm in the past. :)
