Last week, we had a few days of really nice weather- sunny and around 50/60 degrees. Of course this meant that I immediately started to pretend that spring had come, even though I knew better. I went out with bare legs and wore my lighter coat! I also created these sets, dreaming about how I would bare my legs in even warmer weather. Today I drew back my curtains to discover that it had snowed again, so I’m just going to close my curtains and pretend it’s spring in my little room.
1. Linen Blend-Short w/ Striped Belt: $14.80- I love the navy color and crispness of these shorts, as well as the preppy striped belt that they come with. Both would be great basic additions to my closet!
2. Tulip Romper: $12.50- I didn’t really jump on the romper trend last season because I was worried that they would look terrible on me. Since then I’ve realized that it’s all about the fit, so I’m ready to try again, and what better romper to start with than this delightful, springy number? =)
3. Fab Denim Shorts: $10.50- Dark denim shorts at a really good price? Yes, please!
1. Twelve Gore Skirt: $15.80- This is a very classic-looking skirt and I simply love the silver buttons going down the front.
2. Mid Striped Skirt: $16.80- I haven’t tried the midi length on my body (I’m still coming round to maxis!) but this skirt looked so good on the model that I just had to include it. Plus, I really need some more stripes in my life!
3. Striped Ruffled Skirt: $16.80- Stripes! Fun! Summery! Can it be mine, please? :D
1. Leatherette Gladiator Sandals: $23.80- I love how it laces up in the front (I’ve been really into my lace-up boots all winter!) and the zipper in the back is essential!
2. Braided Leatherette Sandals: $19.80- I really like the low wedge on these and the color would fill a gap in my shoes collection.
3. Canvas Mary Jane Flats: $16.80- Too. Cute. For. Words!
4. Double Ankle Strap Wedges: I think this give off a really cool, modern vibe and would look amazing paired with many a spring/summer dress!
5. Cutout Suedette Wedges: $26.80- The cutouts give the toesies a little breather/look cool and I really like the chunky heel.
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

I love the romper & the striped midi skirt! Soo cute! I can't wait for bare leg weather! Thanks so much for your sweet comment the other day!
I love me a good miniskirt too, but I've told myself I've got to try new things! =)
i cannot wait for ALL of this stuff! especially skirts and sandals! but i dunno about the long and midlength skirts. mine have to be MINI always!

Cool! If you try one, do let me know what you think because we're around the same height, right? I know- come spring break I am going to do so much shopping! :)
So cute and so cheap! :) Hope I can find it in stores!
Thank you!! :D
I'm thinking I'm going to try out a mid-length skirt exactly like the one you posted (maybe sans stripes, though…I don't want to draw anymore attention to my big girl thighs!). The clingyness worries me a little bit, but we'll see. Man, I can't WAIT to go shopping for spring stuff!
I wish it was already summer here! But it snows now so I think I'll have to wait :(

Epps! Bare legs?!?!? It is hard to imagine for me (it is still snowy and COLD in Wisconsin) but I am so happy for you. Nothing beats being able to dress a bit lighter as the weather starts warming up. :)
i love all these pieces especially that floral romper! i'm so disappointed it snowed again, it felt like spring was finally here!

Hey Angga, I was missing you too! I was just going through my google reader and for some reason it wasn't updating your posts for me, but now it's all better! A red plaid skirt sounds cute- I'll let you know if I run into one while I'm late-night online shopping :D
haha, yep! I hope the preemptive bare legs doesn't get either of us sick! :)
I agree- bring on the warmer weather!!!
haha, well if you do buy it definitely show us! :)
Aren't they too adorable! :D
hurry to your local Target! ha, I feel like an advertisement. I should seriously buy all these things in your sets because 1. not only are the prices amazing, but I want everything! especially that striped maxi, though I feel I'm too short to wear those. boohoo! and 2. it is SO hot in Miami! (sorry to complain about that seeing that you're stuck in snow) :S
and I'm definitely going to follow :)

haha! a VERY similar thing just happened to me. i obviously had bare legs in my last post, and it was super sunny and warm… today, though, i should have worn a coat. for sure.
I love the adorable romper! You should definitely give it a try!
LOVE that romoper and those black suede wedgies! I'm sooo ready for spring too!

Definitely will have to try and find the midi stripe skirt, although let's see how it works on a shorter frame.
