Springtime in sight

Happy first day of spring my loves! And for anyone experiencing cold weather like Washington is, today means there is light at the end of the tunnel, or in our case sunshine. :)

Springtime normally means spring cleaning for me, packing up and donating winter clothes I won't use anymore and unpacking my spring/summer time clothes. I've gotta have faith that warm weather is coming!

Today's outfit is a combination of my springtime closet meets my wintertime closet. I am a bargain shopper to the max, so I always love a good deal and getting my money's worth. This dress was found on clearance last summer for just $12 from target! Target always amazes me with some of their deals and I love the quality of their clothes.

         

Casual Summer Time Love

I was asked to put together an outfit based off of one chosen piece this past week with Polyvore and all I have to say is, where the heck have I been? This website is amazing and I am so excited to use it more often in the future.

The chosen piece is this classic and gorgeous yellow dress off of Modcloth.com called BB Dakota Classic Stunner dress in Floral. The first time I saw it, I instantly thought of the Notebook - Rachel McAdams falling in love with Ryan Gosling, endless love and a hopeless romantics dream.

To modernise it a bit, I added the pop of blue and kept it casual with some flats. This is the perfect summer date night attire. Perfect outfit to fall in love. Check out ModCloth for more amazing pieces! Xo

How perfect is that quote? 

 The other night  I asked my boyfriend what he did for past Valentines and his response was "they went to a nice dinner." The only thing that came to mind was 1) I use to work in the restaurant business and that day was awful 2) everyone does that! Which meant all restaurants are completely packed and you are crammed so close to one another, it is hard to have an intimate date… He thought my response was odd, which made me laugh because I would much rather prefer a delicious 

home made dinner. 

What would you guys prefer? Going out for dinner or a home cooked meal?
