[outfitting your mood]

i’ll be honest. the last few weeks have been rough. i live in wisconsin and it’s done nothing but snow, snow, snow for the last month and i’m ready for a little sunshine and warm weather. i’m in a bit of a funk. designing, which normally makes me giddy, is being squashed by the gloomy weather. so, as a pick me up, this week, i thought i’d focus on outfitting my mood with happy yellow beauties that make me smile. i hope they put a little bounce in your step as well.

i’m so excited for spring so i can break out all my dresses again. i hate not being able to wear them all winter long. it’s just way too cold in wisconsin to wear anything that doesn’t cover every square inch of skin. here are some new dresses i’m drooling over.
