But I just...
the perfect in between weather dress April 03 2013
I just love this dress. It's the perfect in between weather, a Sprinter (Spring/Winter) dress. It's warm enough that I can wear it when it's a blizzard out (like this morning) but cool enough that come the sunshine (like this afternoon) I still feel comfortable. The necklace is a new favourite of mine. I made it from an art deco piece made from bake lite. It's pretty awesome with it's flowers...
