February Grey

I heard on the news last night that there have officially been 17 consecutive days with an inch or more of snow on the ground in central Indiana. UGH is my reaction to that! On top of that it has been sooooo grey outside lately. We haven't had a shred of sunshine in days.


I think Joe and I are going to plan a little get away, though! It probably won't be until late spring or summer, but I'm already excited and it's giving me something to look forward to!

We have two options... 1. road trip out east, driving to Maine and back and hitting destinations on the way. I've never been further east than NYC. Or 2. flying out to Austin, TX! Austin is hands down, my favorite city in the country. We were just there for SXSW last year, but I definitely would love to go back. I love the vibe of the city... and the delicious Mexican food! (Polvo's has THE BEST margarita I have ever tasted... and I have tasted a lot of margaritas!) One of these days I will live there!

White Winter (Hymnal)

Welcome to my first outfit post! I'm very excited that I am finally posting a daily wear, however, I'm NOT very excited about my self portrait skills. I need some serious practice. And a tripod. And a remote. Or maybe I can just sucker the boyfriend into being my personal photographer... Hmm...


Indianapolis was under a "winter weather alert" all day yesterday. We were supposed to get up to 9 more inches of snow! Luckily, we only received approximately 3". It still made for a sloshy day though. And while I'm a huge fan of winter and all the snow that comes with it... and while I think the fresh layer of bright white snow makes everything look BEAUTIFUL... I am really ready for spring!

Please excuse the poor lighting, cut off pictures, and bad poses. I promise I will get better at this!

I am really loving these shoes! I will admit, they were slightly painful (1/2 size too small... see below), but I love the way they look so I am willing to suffer a little for fashion.

However, this necklace might be my favorite thing about the outfit. The boyfriend got it for me for Christmas. I didn't even tell him I was eyeing it on ModCloth! He has exceptional taste. You will be introduced to him at a later date. I showed my blog to him for the first time last night. I think he liked it! It's good to know he's on board and doesn't think I'm crazy for posting photos of myself all over the internet! ha! He even asked when he gets to make his Olive Jane debut!
