After a week of rain and dark clouds, Saturday was bright and warm. Theo and I dropped everything to experience the miracle. And while the anniversary of the day we met came and went without either of us noticing, instead of a bouquet of roses, Theo drove me to an acre of tulips.
Dramatic huh? Eh, the man knows how I like it :)
Months ago, in my "A Thrifting I Will Go" post, I came across a rather matronly long navy crepe skirt with white polka-dots from thrift store favorite, Value Village. I thought I would alter it myself and make it into a cute flirty dress for Spring and Summer but with belts on my mind so much lately, I went ahead and took a crack at doing something different this time...
"Why not wear this skirt as a skirt?", I asked myself.
Clever.
How's that for thinking inside the box, eh? This skirt has buttons that go all the way to the bottom. BORING! Who wants that? I opened them all but six (as I am after all, a lady) and showed off some knees and ankles. And one thigh.
skirt: Value Village thrift / belt: Ross / woven shrug: Bebe / tee: James Perse / necklace: Philippines / sunnies: Anne Klein / shoes: CMG / bag: Gustto
I was so pleased to be able to wear my wooden necklace again. When I first got this in the Philippines, I wore it here.
And this is me geeking out over the mobs of flowers all over me.
After an oily burger and a bucket of fries, I thought it best to step out of focus of the lens and let the flowers do their thing. Literally, acres of vibrant tulips all around us. So preeetty!
I hope your weekend was lovely.
Oh, and before I forget - did it really happen if you don't Instagram it? Here's some poor evidence of my farm town adventures:
