Dress: c/o ModCloth; Sash: c/o Three Bird Nest; Tights: Target;
Shoes: Vintage; Ring: ModCloth
Cures for the down-in-the-dumps: wear bright colors, treat yourself to an Ebay score, pop a bag of popcorn and watch 3 straight hours of Parks and Rec, take a little road trip to nowhere with someone you love, put on your tennis shoes and ride a bike through muddy puddles, or if all else fails: just smile. I don't know about you, but when I've had all I think I can take, sometimes I have to just smile and remember all of the awesome parts of my life. They far outweigh the bad stuff. Always.
I hope you all have an extra lucky, extra happy weekend. ;)
xoxo Katie
P.S. I am officially announcing the Easter shop update for Tuesday, March 27th. I'll post a reminder on Tuesday, but I just wanted to give a little heads up in advance. It will go live around 4pm CST.
I hope next week will be better - love the cute dress! :-)

I want this dress NOW. Love Modcloth!!
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit! Can't stand those kind of weeks or days and you know when things are good, it always seems like there is a bad day hiding out ready to get you. Don't worry...it will pass. Starbucks is my bad day cure. Sounds like you are doing lots of fun things to work through the bad :)
ReplyDeletei have weeks like that too. It's good that you can try and be positive about it and take time for yourself to power thru. I absolutely love the outfit and I think it would raise my spirits too. If I wore it.

ReplyDeleteParks and Rec is amazing. My favorite characters are Tom Haverford and Donna. I love a sassy woman. You go girl!
ReplyDeletei totally feel ya. and parks and rec is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI have been eyeing this dress on ModCloth for a couple of weeks now. This spring has been all about sailboat prints, which I love! Sorry to hear about your rough week, but I think that you are dealing with it the best way you can. Parks & Rec and popcorn heals all wounds.

I love your blog and your style. I found you on Etsy and fell in love with your plush creatures...they are beyond cute.
ReplyDeleteWill you be updating your Etsy shop or your shop Big Cartel shop? I just don't want to miss it.
Thank you so much.

I just wanted to let you know how much your honesty is appreciated. I truly get somewhat tired of reading blogs where the author pretends life if perfect and they never have a bad day. When a blog author can readily admit they have a bad day every now and again it brings a whole other level of realness and makes them that much more relatable. Thanks again. I hope things are looking up, and that your week is off to a great start!
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute. Are you sick of hearing that? ;-) Love the shoes... and the dress. xo

I love the print of that dress! And Parks and Rec = awesome.
ReplyDeleteThose dresses are adorable!! And I love the bow ring that you were wearing! Smitten.
