Rainy Spring Look //

11:35:00 AM
Today is March 25; in Massachusetts it's the time of year between winter and spring, where one day it reaches 60 degrees and the next, everything is cancelled because of snow. I honestly just want to be able to break out all of my skirts and tank tops and sandals and other spring pieces, but the fluctuating daily weather makes layering a must. 

For my look today, I attempted to incorporate some spring wear, but still remain warm in the New England weather. I went with a pair of black leggings, a very loose fitting dress and cardigan, some knit socks, and Doc Martens. The color palette is mainly light, with pinks, yellows, and grays (a tribute to the oncoming season), but also features strong portions of black, which fits with the current winter. //

This look is also a nice mix between carefree bohemian and urban street. The asymmetry, strong patterns, and grunge influence give it an urban look, but the florals, lacy pinks, and draped jewelry incorporate a boho princess vibe. // 





WHERE TO SHOP THIS LOOK: 
gray dress: Urban Outfitters
pink cardigan: Marshall's 
black leggings: Urban Outfitters
knit socks: Urban Outfitters
boots: Doc Martens
choker: Brandy Melville
necklace: Forever 21

A Brief Update //

11:53:00 AM


Good Morning!~

So, today I am realizing that my last post on this blog was February 28, which was about 3 weeks ago; things have been busy. I recently finished performing in a production of Guys & Dolls, so tech week (and even the couple of weeks before that) were insanely busy. I've had quite a few ideas that I have been meaning to post, but the busyness this time of year, I haven't really had the chance to put them up.

Beyond that, nothing really bad (or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, nothing really exciting) has been happening as of late. I am still alive and well, and today is the first day of spring (YAY), so my mood and availability should both be significantly increased. Prom is coming up, and I have a fashion show for my Spring 2016 mini-collection coming up, so I will be aggressively finishing up my garments for that, and this summer I will be doing costume design for a production of Oliver, and I may work on a Fall 2016 collection as well.

Needless to say, I have a lot of creative projects happening at the moment, so there will be a lot more posts coming your way in the near future! I just wanted to let you all know what's up and to reassure you that I am, indeed, still alive. //

xoxo,
