I know I haven't done an OTD in a while. My excuse is that I am totally done with Winter clothes but here in the Midwest that damn groundhog cursed us with an extra long snap of cold. I have been surviving although begrudgingly. Layering is my best weapon to stay fashionable in these random rain, hail, snow, sun conditions. My hair has also lengthened quite a bit over this winter, you also may have noticed there are no fun colors in my hair lately. The lack of color is due to a promise I made my best friend, that I will have "normal" colored hair for her wedding as her Maid of Honor. Let me tell you that is a lot of love right there. I'm not even sure I would do that for anyone else in this world.

I found it sort of amusing that the most expensive thing I am wearing are my shoes which would cover the least amount of my body aside from the accessories. The dress I am wearing is normally just a straight A-lined skirt. It had these ties to cinch the back which I found kind of pointless since it is an entirely elastic smocked back. I use those ties and hiked up bunches of the tulle into a nicely draped bundle and set them in place with a bow. Amazing how a little pinching and propping can change the look of an entire garment. I took the cue from some of Style Rookie's own personal wardrobe outfits. Amazing what these young kids can still teach and remind us in fashion.
