Wait For It

Apparently, all I had to do was wait for it. That's right, just a couple days after I was dreaming of warm weather, it actually got to high 60s yesterday and felt like spring. I actually walked to work wearing tights and a coat over this, but I immediately shed them both when I got to the office. I'm a Midwesterner now; 60 degrees feels like summer, okay?

I'm not sure why it's been so long since I've worn this dress, but it's always been one of my favorites. It's starting to get slightly too small for me, but that building print is just too darling to let go of. I feel like I never really get creative with how I style it (it's pretty much just a different color cardigan each time), but I think it kind of speaks for itself. I mean, come on, is there really anything better than an outfit that has a Peter Pan collar, a cardigan, and oxfords?

There's still time to enter my James Society palm tree clutch giveaway!

Speaking of "wait for it," I'll be watching the series finale of "How I Met Your Mother" tonight. I've nothing but complain about the past couple of seasons (Monday nights are filled with snarky comments with my friends Aaron and Brittany while we watch), but even so, I'll always be attached to the show. In its early seasons, it was one of the most clever sitcoms on the air, and I suppose I'm willing to forgive its many missteps because of my love of the characters. If you've seen the past few episodes (and even some from the last seasons), you'll know that there's a good chance that the season has been building toward something pretty depressing. Well, I for one believe in that crazy fan theory.

But seriously, the mother has to be dead, right?
