searching for spring in a flower shop

Maybe I'm alone, but have you ever had such a vivid dream that it follows you through the day? It's happened several times and it's hard to escape the feeling of it. Today I kept getting flashbacks as if it actually happened. Call it a dsytopian novel moment. Maybe I've been reading too many of those.

For me it's all or nothing. It's everything or I don't want to bother-- could have something to do with my MB Type, as I've read others feel the same way. And since there's no snow on the horizon with warmer temperatures, I need Spring to be in full bloom. I want to feel the full effect of the seasons.

So today, I had enough of the seemingly permanent grey skies and needed to surround myself with some color.

Praying for better dreams and warmer weather (not global warming)

So these pants are kind of the perfect transition piece for this time of year. Spring florals are grounded by black. They're a cropped length which is great for night wear with a heel. They are more of a formal fabric afterall. I've been meaning to wear them with my Aquazzura Mira Platforms.

Outside this nursery is a mini farm.

To the farm, with velvet shoes and silk blouse. I orignally bought a pair of these TUK shoes in black (they get so many compliments!), and added to my collection with these red velvet pair and a pair of heeled booties. Now, I wouldn't go walking miles in them, but I love them and they are a good in-between for casual/semi-formal outfits.

And I made some new friends. Animals can be way more pleasant to hang out with than humans sometimes.

So I said goodbye to these guys and headed back to the flowers.

I mentioned this Matt and Nat bag in my previous post, and as you can see I gave in and had to buy it. It makes it even better that the lining is made out of 100% recycled bottles. I love to support people who are trying to do good. It's even better that they're using this fiber in a bag because it's not getting washed. If you have clothes made out of that (i.e. bionic yarn) in the washing machine, it can actually break down and release tiny pieces of plastic into the water. Bad news for ocean critters!

For some reason, I'm missing a white blouse from my wardrobe. It would look gorgeous with these pants. And these sunglasses are the best fitting ones I've tried on (good for a smaller face). They have so many flattering styles that are updated classics.
