I returned from Wisconsin to find a pretty gift bag waiting for me on the schoolroom table. It was a gift from my secret sister at church. She's been blessing me with encouraging words, prayer, Dr. Pepper, which came in handy on our Wisconsin trip, and, this time, SCARVES.
Be still, my beating heart.
I love scarves, especially these springy ones.
In an effort to share something a little light-hearted with you today, I put the girlies to bed last night and designed some fun spring outfits, starring my new scarves. The first outfit is, predictably, constructed of basics, staples and thrifted finds, but hey, what's wrong with that?!
Scarf: Gift! Thank you, secret sister!
Vest: Thrift Store find
Shirt: Old Navy, snagged for five bucks!
Jeans: Hmmmmm, I think I bought them new with a gift card.
Earrings: The girlies made me something like these. Mama benefits from their creativity!
Shoes: Gift! Thank you, dear mother-in-law for keeping me stylin' in these Keds.
Bag: Thrift Store find
Scarf on Bag: Old as the hills
Nail Wraps & Polish: Thanks to my friend, Elizabeth, my nails are actually sporting this
Jamberry "Jamicure." So boho, so chic!
The second outfit highlights a color I don't wear often. In fact, I wear it so rarely that I once threw on some pink shorts for a family bike ride and it resulted in a chuckle! My husband kept seeing the pink in his peripheral vision and repeatedly thought a stranger needed to pass him on the trail. He shook his head each time he discovered it was only me! Pink or not ~ this outfit is a terrific transitional outfit!

Happy spring, friends!
