Outfit: Workday Wednesday

I have to admit the drizzly, rainy, grey weather in Portland is getting to me! I am sick of wearing tights  and miss my favorite spring clothes that are buried in my closet. We are headed on a family vacation to Mexico in a few weeks and I am already counting down the days. I can't wait to be warm. This week I picked a bright top to cheer me up, and paired it with one of my go to black skirts.The skirt is from ModCloth and I absolutely adore it. It is girly and practical. 

What warm weather clothes are you excited to wear? I miss my open toed shoes and cropped pants. Happy Wednesday!

Spring is finally around the corner. You can spot the occasional flower blooming and I suddenly have the urge to throw on a skirt or dress. A maxi skirt or dress with a jacket or sweater is definetley a practical and comfy way to wear a dress in these cold months. This weekend Ellie and I had a fun night out at Bridgeport Brewery to celebrate a birthday and have some yummy food. We took the oppurtunity to dress up and take some pictures. Coincidentally we both choose long skirts and dresses for our night out. 

Ellie's Outfit:

Necklace: Homemade, look for a tutorial in the coming weeks!

Maddie is off in beautiful Hawaii, I am very jealous! She will be updating us on her trip as well as including information on her outfit in this post soon! Also did you spot my pedometer in this post? I have started wearing one to track my steps and embarrassingly forgot to take it off for pictures.

Outfit: Workday Wednesday

Thrifting is the theme for today's Workday Wednesday!  I recently got this skirt at my local Goodwill, such a fun find and a perfect skirt for a Wednesday outfit. I love how the skirt has lots of different colors, so you have a variety of options when accessorizing. I added a chunky red and gold necklace from To Zion, my favorite jewelry store in Joseph, Oregon, as well as a thrifted red Pendleton coat.

Do you have a favorite place to go thrift shopping?  I love my local Goodwill Super Center, it is a great place to spend a Saturday afternoon and I always find that if I am patient and take my time I can find some true gems hidden in the racks.

Happy Birthday Maddie!!

This weekend was Maddie's birthday and we had lots of opportunities to dress up! It was great to hang out with the family and friends and celebrate another great year of Maddie's life! On friday night we went to a delicious dinner at Laurelhurst Market and then had a little surprise party. Saturday we went to the Dragon Tree Spa and got massages and facials!
