Look-Book: Feeling Stripey & Other Adventures!

Apr 9, 2012

Stripes & sunshine make me instantly happy! I'm so thankful for the warmer weather we've been having. Yay spring! Our week has consisted of after-work walks, sunsets, yummy hot chocolate at the park, and we're loving every minute of it! I'm definitley a happier person with this kind of weather. I plan to soak in every single second of this spring and summer season. Watch out!
On this particular day, we headed to the historic downtown area of where we live. I'm not sure why we don't take outfit photos here a little more often. Ahem, Martin! ;) There are so many old & funky buildings which are loaded with fabulous character & interesting elements - it's the perfect spot! I wore my H&M striped dress and loved, loved how the outfit turned out... best $19 I ever spent! I'll be sure to to do a remix review so you guys can see a few of the different ways I've worn it!
Other than that, I spent a part of Easter long weekend springifying my wardrobe. I just bought a slew of skirts, floaty tops, and brightly knit cardigans. I'm kind of bursting with new outfit inspiration at the moment. I also added two new beauties (aka shoes) to my closet which you can see here & here... I just need it to get a little warmer so I can ditch the tights and wear them out! xo veronika

  8. You look lovely, absolutely lovely! I really like your dress and it's funny that you wore it because on of the youtube bloggers I follow just got pretty much the same dress from forever 21, except that hers, has a much lower backside. Both are the same from the front!
    I like how both of you styled it!

  28. I know just what you mean, Veronika, I am a much happier person when the sun comes out! The world just seems fully of new discoveries to me at this time of year :) But there's nothing like an old favourite, and your classic striped dress is the perfect example of that. I'm sure you will never run out of ways to wear this beauty and even better than it was only 19$! Hope your week is off to a wonderful start, my friend!
