Spring Flings & Fashion Things


Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring!

I know most of us have been over this cold weather for a while, but now we can officially be upset if another round of winter hits us because it is officially spring. I can already tell you my go-to outfit this spring/summer is going to consist of cut-off shorts and kimonos. Now, it’s not quite shorts-weather yet (sure, we’ve had some warm days make an appearance, but my ghost legs aren’t quite ready for their debut yet). Now kimonos are another story. I rocked them through the winter with a fitted long sleeve tee underneath, but they make me wish for warm weather and sunshine (and have you checked the forecast for the next few days?!).

Now I’m gonna brag a little for a second, but I actually made the kimono I’m wearing in this blog (and a few others that you will see soon enough, I’m sure).  I love the fabric…it feels like the softest t-shirt material you can imagine, and I dip dyed it too. It was originally all white with the subtle burnout print. And I love that the dye didn’t take to the burnout areas. Ok, moving on now. :) I hope everyone can enjoy the warm weather this weekend, AND let’s all say a little prayer that it hangs around.
