Floral Slip Dress, Black Sweater & Ankle Booties: Summer Hair

So, yeah. I had this theory. If I colored my hair back to it’s summer shade, the weather would follow suit. I’m not crazy…I wasn’t expecting 75 degrees and sunshine. All I was asking for was something above 0 and maybe two or three feet less snow. You all can see how well that worked out for me. As a matter of fact this coming Friday’s overnight low is -15. No, not with wind chill. Straight up -15. WTH winter?? I just keep telling myself that one month from now this will all be over. A girl can dream, right?

Keeping with the “stuck in the Arctic, wishing it was the Bahamas” theme, I winterized my floral slip dress. Honestly, that’s not rocket science. I simply threw a black sweater over top, fleece lined leggings, socks and booties underneath and ta-da! A winterized summer dress. Oh, and I threw in the flower necklace for another dose of pretend summer.

Bulldog Sweatshirt, Skater Skirt & Ankle Booties: Any Day Involving A Bulldog Is A Good Day

Seriously, how can you have a bad day when you have a bully with a sequin tongue on your shirt? Short answer…you can’t. Since I had to drag my sorry butt to school while still feeling flu-ish I figured if I wore something that made me happy I’d feel better. And it worked, at least to a certain degree. Did the bulldog sweatshirt make my headache and general ickiness go away? Um, no. But you guys all know that if you’re wearing something you feel good in, it makes you feel at least a little bit better about yourself. So on that count it worked. And no, I’m not one of those rude individuals who go out into the world spreading their plague-infested germs to friends and foes alike. I pretty much stuck to myself in my room working on materials and room arrangement and whatnot. I have an inhuman amount of work to get done before my life skills class starts next week and I went home half a day sick yesterday so I couldn’t afford another day. Oh, and did I mention that due to the fact I am apparently out of my freakin’ mind (actually it was just bad timing) we are also in the midst of a house refinance so I took this Friday off to stay home and clean and organize before the appraiser comes? I wasn’t super concerned until they told me they were taking pictures of my attic. Nooo!!! That would be the same attic I spent days in this past summer, and it still looks like a human size family of rodents has been nesting up there.

The last time I wore the bulldog sweatshirt it was with boyfriend jeans and Bearpaws (here). This time I wanted to dress it up so I switched out the jeans for a skater skirt and the Bearpaws for my black ankle booties. I also added the plaid top underneath to give it an extra pop of color. I went without a necklace because I wanted the sweatshirt to do all of the talking.
