Since Spring is slow on its arrival, I put together a bright, colorful ensemble last week. Instead of continuing to harbor these violent thoughts against mother nature, I chose a more positive approach: dress in happy colors. We also shot most of this outfit using a wide angle lens. Typically, I prefer to share flattering photos of myself with readers, but considering I was already donned in horizontal stripes, I thought it couldn’t do much damage.

I saw that dress at H&M! Yay!
I just bought that dress and I'm debating on it. After seeing your pics I'm leaning towards keep. ๐
You usually choose flattering pictures of yourself? Shocking! I would never…
Haha… the dress is so pretty! If it isn't spring… at least look like spring!
Very Prada-esque…I like it.
(ps: those shoes are mine, betch.)
