Spring, Spring, Spring

I just love when it starts to warm up at the beginning of spring! I'm sure there will be a few more chilly periods before spring really takes hold but I took advantage of the nice weather to show off my legs!


I just love this circle skirt! It's one of the first things I ever made. The fabric has started to fade a bit but it's still wearable.


These shots were taken at an outdoor mall. It's one of my husband and my favorite palaces to hang in the summer. When it's hot out, the fountain behind me is on.

 

I had planned on waiting to cut my bangs till later in the summer but they got the chop last weekend and I've been loving them.


And my hair is finally long enough to pincurl without too much difficulty. Woot!


Purple peep toe wedges! I took style notes from the 40s and matched my accessories to each other instead of sticking with just the colors in my outfit.


And it wouldn't be a trip to the mall without some shopping! Mostly we just went out to enjoy the weather but I love window shopping too!

    I love your bangs! And your skirt! As much as I've sewn, I for some reason just cannot seam to get a circle skirt quite right.

      Thanks! :) I used a vintage pattern from Elegant Musings (http://blog.caseybrowndesigns.com/2010/09/make-your-own-50s-circle-skirt/). She also did a huge circle skirt sew along with loads of resources. I think the trick is not to use a circular waist shape but to make it more oval shaped.

    Super sweet, charming outfit! I just love the first sun-kissed days of spring, too. It's almost like you forget what warmth from Mother Nature feels like and are a little surprised (and totally delighted) when it finally emerges once again.

    Lucky you to be able to wear your spring outfit!!! After our Californian trip we found that winter is still there: cold, no flower and even a bit of snow!!!
