Lately I've been thinking a lot about colours while getting dressed, setting my mind on two or three colours I want to wear and bringing them all together with pieces of the chosen hues. I didn't really realize the extent of this, however, until a friend pointed out a few days ago that I was looking very "matchy-matchy" while wearing this outfit. I wasn't sure how to take it at first, but now I've decided that I like it: it may be a bit 90's of me, but it gives me a similar feeling of the …

Perennial
When I bought this skirt last fall, I had no idea it would be a piece that would grow to be such a special part of my wardrobe. Since I've had it, though, the beautiful print and feminine cut have kept me wooed and I still find myself wanting to reach for it again and again. I documented it on the blog in the fall as well as the winter, and now here it is once more as we reach springtime. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it also paired so unexpectedly well with this gorgeous teal shade of …
